SWL ~ 3 partners/3 themes, minimum postage.

As part of our "try something new/out of the comfort zone" months, here's a swap that requires you to send small, lightweight & cheap swaps. While this for some might be the only swaps you usually join, for others it might be something you don't usually do. Take me, for example, I am always participating in the more heavier, type 3 swaps and spending a lot on the postage. This swap challenges you to send as much as you can for as little as you can.

This is pretty simple and similar to the 3 partner ephemera swap we did, with a twist.

• You'll have 3 partners.

• You'll be sending 1 envelope to each partner.

• In that envelope, you'll be sending a minimum of 10 pieces of ephemera, stationery, crafts, etc.

• BUT you can't go over your minimum postage for airmail. This is an international swap. If you get a regional partner, same applies; the minimum postage you could use for your swap to get to them, packed with goodies. Without researching every single countries postage & listing it here, I'm trusting you guys to just use some common sense. I am from the UK, but I think in the US, this is 1 global "US forever" stamp. In the UK, please use the Airmail International "11g-20g" weight. In Europe, I think it is 1 international stamp you guys have?

• Fit as much as you can in for that postage. The 10 pieces rule is just there for requirements. If you can fit in more than that, go for it! BUT don't start making it into a bigger, heavier swap that requires more postage!! Nope, this swap is to save us some pennies!!

• It is type 3 for the mail art (that isn't required) NOT for the weight. Please remember what you put on the envelope could contribute to the weight on the envelope. It might be cheaper to use washi tape, drawings, paper collage, etc than things like embellishments.

• Please decorate the envelope in a way so it is not blank. Mail art or something easier if you are not that way inclined. Feel free to just put some stickers on it if you wish. Don't stress over it.

• It is senders choice.

Without this being SUPER fun, there's some themes for you.

In SOME way, please include these themes in or on your envies. Minimum of 1 thing to incorporate that theme. You could choose a sticker of that thing for the envelope, a drawing, an ATC inside, that themed ephemera, etc. Use your imagination. =)

Partner 1 - Nature Partner 2 - Animals Partner 3 - Vintage

When partners are assigned (if you are going profile based, not senders choice), if your 3rd partner seems to prefer nature more to animals, just switch them up.

NO sending junk. NO sending envies with little to nothing in them. Send on time, rate on time; everyone is happy.

Happy Swapping!!
