UK lockdown make me smile week 2

As we hear that we in the UK are headed back into lockdown without the prospect of summer sun I thought I would start a series of swaps to bring some happiness to our mail boxes, I will host a swap each week we are in lockdown and these swaps are designed to be sent with either a regular or large letter stamp so if the postoffices shut or have restricted hours and we can’t access them we can still join in.

I will initially set up the first 4 weeks, please be aware that these swaps have a shortish turnaround.

Week 1: Happy Mail, note card and a decorated envelope Week 2: Craft Mail, make your partner some crafted happy mail such as a decorated tag, pocket letter, set of 3 ATC’s, flipbook ect. Week 3: Flat Gift, this might be 3 small handmade decorated envelopes, 10 die cuts, blank note cards and envelope ect. Week 4: Decorated Letter, write your partner a letter, tell them a little bit about yourself, how you are coping with lockdown and what you like about swaps. Decorate the letter and the envelope.

Week 2 - This can be made in advance, make your partner a craft item such as a decorated tag, pocket letter, ATC,s the options are endless. Although this is senders choice please don’t make anything which could be offensive. The is a craft swap so put some time into the item and make something you would love to receive. You are welcome to add gifts but this is about making something rather than the contents.
