I love Mail # Round 1

Do you love notecards? Do you love writing a letter? Do you love to decorate a envelope and turn it into some MailArt? If you like these three things then this swap is for you!

I want to do a series of swap with 2 partners. You will write a letter, using a notecard and paper to finish, with some prompts and questions. Then you get to decorated your envelope how ever you like. I will make this international. This swap is for handwritten letters.

Your letter will need to be sent out on a Monday.

Round# 1 May 6th

Introduction letter about your self, where you live, Tell a little about your country, like the capital, languages, customs or something special to your country.

You would rate a 5 if you get a notecard and a letter with decorated envelope.

To join please have a rating of 5.0.

Thanks in advance for sending on time. If you can't please message your partner to let them know.

I love the idea of this swap, but I find it extremely difficult finding a post office that stocks special edition stamps :(

Gingerlei 04/25/2013 #

The post office lady told me that the International stamps are just one design (Global); as are post card stamps (Apples). There are tons of what I would call Special Edition Forever 46¢ stamps (currently, Muscle Cars, La Florida (flowers), Sealed with Love, Love Ribbons, Wedding Roses, Where Dreams Bloom (flower bouquet), Cherry Blossoms, and others that may be discontinued but are still usable; but I'm not sure if you are classifying them as Special Edition (e.g, any stamp other than an American Flag.) Please clarify. Thanks!

This has been edited to not include a special stamp, so that more people can join and not be limited as to the stamps they can get.

Thanks :) I've just ordered some commenerative London Underground stamps online, so I'll be able to put a nice one on anyway. :)

@Gingerlei you have different designs for postcards and international mail? Cool! Here it's a Queen's head in various colours to denote the price of the stamp. Boring eh?
