Description:

This is the Monday Mailer swap for July 2019.

Thank you @tigerlilyknotwise for reminding me I hadn't posted July! Since I'm so late (July 1 is a week from today!), I've changed this round to a Week of format. That will help the folks who weren't enamored with Monday, and will give us a bit of sign-up time.

The swap idea is simple: you'll have one partner, and once every week (you pick the day this go round), you mail out an envelope/packet to her. This is a USA only swap to help ensure mailings arrive within a week.

At the end of the swap, you should have received five mailings, and possibly made a new friend. I can testify to that! One of my dearest friends is a swapper I was paired with more than 10 years ago in a Monday Morning Mailer swap on another, now defunct, swap site.

Every Monday/Every week, you will mail your partner an envelope or small package that contains something to read, something to do or try, and a surprise. Any of those things can relate on the week's topic. The themes are broad and can be interpreted in any way. (If you'd like, your something to read and something to do can be related to the week's topic.)

July is a five Monday month. Luckily, the month's one federal holiday falls on a Thursday.

Week 1: July 1-6 -- An introductory note or letter. Theme: Patriotism

Week 2: July 7-13 -- Theme: Worship and Praise

Week 3: July 14-20 -- Theme: Romans 8

Week 4: July 21-27 -- Theme: Picnics

Week 5: July 28-31 -- Theme: Sender's Choice

Feel free to respond to your partner. Maybe a long-term friendship will indeed develop.

Examples of something to read: a letter, an article, a short story or a book, a zine, a devotion, etc.

Examples of something to do or try include, but are not limited to: craft kits (for cards, ATCs, dotees, etc), crossword or other puzzles, a Bible quiz or study, recipes, a profile-related project or activity, a mix CD to listen to, etc.

Examples of surprises: bookmarks, postcards, art made by you, profile surprises (check your partner's profile for suggestions), anything related to faith or Christianity, etc.

Rate your partner after receiving the fifth envelope/package.

Thank you to all who have participated in this series so far!

The 2019 schedule will be January, March, May, July, September, November.

USA swappers. Group membership. Snail mail.

Once again, post any future themes you'd like to see.

And post if you prefer the send any time during the week as opposed to send on Monday.

LadyJo 06/26/2019 #

This is a neat swap! I would prefer send anytime in that week! If I can't get to the po on a Monday that would limit me from joining!

LadyJo 06/28/2019 #

Question? I want to clarify for each week this is what I should be sending: something to read something to do or try something a surprise for the theme short note on the theme

Artistic 06/28/2019 #

That's correct, @LadyJo EACH packet should have in it

  • something for your partner to read (i.e. a Scriture lesson, a letter or note on the theme, an interesting article, a book, etc.)

  • something for your partner to do (i.e., make a craft, try a recipe, do a puzzle, etc)

  • a surprise (i.e., profile surprise, bookmark, something you made, etc.

Any of the three can relate to the week's theme, a note is suggested because sometimes that's easier.

Artistic 06/28/2019 #

@LadyJo thanks for your PM. Swap description was clarified in swap and in note. I'll avoid the shorthand in future. :)

I think I've gotten my numbers all turned around. What I sent as W3 should have been W4. (See, this is what happens when it's not strictly Monday sending after 15 years of Monday thinking. LOL!)

The topic I just sent out was PICNICS.

Artistic 07/24/2019 #

@shannonlinde we do this every other month. So September is next.

LadyJo 07/26/2019 #

I received from Donna the other day! I did send out my picnics on Wednesday! Sorry, I haven't been good at communicating here! I am enjoying this swap! I love the different themes! I can't wait to do it again in September!
