SMSUSA: Hello Friend!

I really miss the swaps in this group so I'm going to start a couple and hope everyone will join in the fun.

For Hello Friend! you'll have 1 partner and you'll have a 3-week correspondence with your new friend!

Each week for 3 weeks you'll be sending your partner a nice note and a simple enclosure--something listed on your partner's wish list perhaps? The enclosure is NOT meant to be large or expensive--something simple and flat is fine.

At the end of the 3 weeks you will have sent 3 notes/enclosures and received 3 notes/enclosures. Hopefully you'll get to know one of the group members a little bit better and maybe even two if you decide to respond to your sending partner!

Here are the relevant dates for this swap:

• Sign up deadline: August 1

• First note/enclosure: Send by August 9

• Second note/enclosure: Send by August 16

• Third note/enclosure: Send by August 23

So your mailing deadline is every Saturday beginning on August 9, 2014.
