Description:

Profile surprise swap!! Look at your partner's profile... peruse at your leisure! Savor it! Enjoy it! ;) THEN... choose something you think your partner would enjoy receiving. This can be ANYTHING you want to send, but something you think matches something on their profile. Handmade or purchased, either is fine. There is no spending limit, keep it small. Might be free, might be ten dollars, you decide. Package it up nicely, and send it off.

What's the "double" in the swap title?? I don't like anything simple. Your partner will receive at least two pieces of mail from you. One is a fun chatty letter, introducing yourself, telling a bit about your family or where you live. This should be a fun-to-read letter, more than a paragraph about yourself. Include at least (but hopefully more than!) five "interesting" facts about you and the place you live.

What's the "secret"in the title?? ONE fact in your letter will be totally made-up! Your partner can write you a letter back, guessing which fact was false.

Try to make it guessable (not as impossible as "I have blue eyes", when really they are green, which is also a little boring)... something more interesting than that... so some of the facts in your letter, the true part, need to be a bit interesting. The falsehood will blend in, kind of, but also be obviously one of the possibilities...

So, one partner, two pieces of mail, one is a profile surprise, one is a letter, including a trick fact.

Got it??

Must have all fives to join, at least 20 package ratings, no newbies unless I have specifically cleared you ahead of time. If you have threes or ones that you have tried to resolve, you may pm me BEFORE signing up and I will consider the situation. If you sign up without messaging the explanation you will be dropped from the swap. There will be NO FLAKING. And the send-by date IS a requirement.

Sorry to sound so crabby. Too much flaking in my previous public swaps, because I was NICE.

yes this one IS public. To replace the private one I just somehow posted publicly, since people had already signed up! (although, this one is trickier!)

Just want to check are the profile surprise and the letter to be sent separately? Or can they be sent in the same package.

On my watch list :)

Separately. :) I will send the letter first, the surprise the next day. Probably. We did a five day fun mail thing that was REALLY fun... this is only two days but still fun, I think.

Awesome! That's what I was hoping for :) Signing up!
