Description:
Hello happy swappers and mailbox stalkers. This swap is for those of us who want a happier mailbox. For this swap we will send our partner 7 different pieces of mail in the month of January. Requirements: What you send them is senders choice, but atleast one of the mail pieces has to be a 2 page letter. You have to mail a few things out within the first 2 weeks, the idea is your partner will be getting mail all month. SO try to space it out a bit. 1 letter and 6 other pieces of mail must be sent FOR EXAMPLE: You can mail 7 letters, you can mail 6 postcards and 1 letter, 3 letters and 4 postcards. Some other ideas to send can be random filled envies of flat goodies your partner may like with a note, notecards and a letter, recipes, a journal entry of your day. ETC. Im hoping to attract swappers that have great mail stash or can be somewhat creative.its always nice to send fun stationary, a decorated envie, some neat empherma... the intention is not to just write on plain paper and send off a thoughtless letter. Prepare to shower your partner with some mail love. I consider a great letter or piece of mail a gift, makes my day. If your partner sends you a letter and 6 other pieces of mail rate them a 5. No newbies Will do an international version too 4.85 I will ban swappers and will check profiles. Swappers should be experienced, in good standing and regularly check the site.

To my partner: Please try to spread the 7 things throughout the entire month. Last round I received everything within the first 2 weeks. Would love to not have a lonely box any week of the month, if possible.

This sounds awesome. :)

Thanks! As a general rule send a 2 or 3 things out each week being that there are 4 weeks in the month so one or two weeks you would mail 1 piece of mail. Good point wokeupmissing! The idea is to have the mail arrive all month

First mailing went out to my partner today!

I keep a note of what i sent and recieved from each partner, and I write 1 of 7, 2 of 7 on whatever I mail...this may help you guys keep track

We are half way though the month id say we all should of mailed at least 3 things to our partners. Please continue to Shower them with mail throughout the rest of month.

I have only received one note card letter from wokeupmissing. :(

Artistic 01/24/2015 #

Deelynn: you're not the only one. It's Jan. 24, and so far I have received just one letter from my partner. :(

lilmissthrifty 01/25/2015 #

This is incredible...any ideas of how to avoid that in future swaps?

deelynn 01/26/2015 #

I rec'd number two item Saturday. :( maybe if this swap is done in the future, assign a date(s) each week that the item needed to be sent out by. I'm disappointed.

Artistic 01/28/2015 #

Two items came today from my partner; so I'm up to receiving three now, as of Jan. 28.

I mailed out the last bonus items to my own partner today so I'm marking the swap as sent now.

Lilmiss: in addition to what deelynn said, for other rounds it could be stipulated that the swap not be marked as sent until the last item is mailed.

hey im so sorry. i appreciate your feedback, i thought as a hostess my description, email and comments would be enough for people to understand. Keep me posted if you need an angel, after you rate your partner. Im not sure i will do this one again, Its too hard to know who is going to particpate correctly. But i agree with what all of you say here. thanks
