Description:

I'm tired of people expecting a package when the swap is for a one-stamp, flat-item, envelope. This swap is intended to control postage costs, with people who understand that we can't turn every swap into a package that costs $5 to send (not to mention the content value!) Not that I've ever done that, or anything.........

Choose items that your partner would like based on their profile that fit in an envelope and use only one stamp (44 cents). That means, if you use MORE than one 44 cent stamp, your partner can rate you a three. It is against swap requirements to use more postage. :)

How creative can you be with a one ounce weight limit, lol!? :)

The happy mail swaps I host cost me about $10 in postage for 5 partners. This swap- because controlled- will only cost me $2.50.

I have chosen five partners because I really, really enjoy getting mail. I'd like to achieve mail volume, while not spending a large fortune!

*No unexplained ones or threes in your ratings.

You must have a wish list that includes lightweight flat items.

*Newbies welcome with filled out profiles. Please go to mine if you need an example. Mine is too long, though, lol!

*Please ask any questions BEFORE you sign up for the swap.

*I have the right to ban participants. I will check every profile. If you feel I might ban you, please send me a message so we can talk about it. I HATE banning people, but I will so my participants feel safe!

DUE TO RECENT REQUESTS: Please note that the point of this swap is to get a much as you can into a one-stamp envie. One postcard is not enough. Try to get it as close to one full ounce as you can, without going over and requiring another stamp! Please send me a message if you have any questions.

@nelliebugsdotcom Sorry! We can do a private one, if you'd like.

Monday is a postal holiday. Sorry about that! The date has been changed to reflect the next actual mailing day.

I can't believe I missed this one either! Is there going to be a #5?

DarbyFlats 02/16/2010 #

Yes, there will be a #5. :)
