I had lots of fun with Round #1, and am hoping those to participated did too. So much so that perhaps you'll come out for Round #2. :)

Don't be scared off by the length this letter needs to be. Yeah, it's 9 pages, but each of those 9 pages will be no larger than 2 1/2 x 3 1/2 inches (the size of an artist trading card, ATC). :)

My idea on the # of pages is that each page of your letter will fit into a pocket letter sleeve, which has 9 pockets.

To make your "stationery," you will decorate each of your pages with washi tape, stickers, doodles, drawing, use stencils, rubber stamps, etc. Make each page of your stationery colorful & fun. Please number each page.

Once your pages are decorated and you've numbered them, start writing your letter on page 1, then 2, and so on until you have written your entire letter on the "9 pages of your decorated stationery." (It's optional if you want to write on the backside of your pages.) You will then put each page into the pocket letter sleeve in order of your numbered pages. Don't fold your pages, leave them so the writing and your decorations show.

Now flip your pocket letter sleeve over and put 2-3 flat stickers into the back of each pocket (for your partner's use), for a total of 18-27 stickers. Please keep them flat (no 3D, puffy, or teacher reward type stickers). I encourage everyone to look at their partner's profile to at least try and send some themes their partner will enjoy.

When your partner opens up your pocket letter, they will see the words written on each page in order so they can read it. When they flip the letter over, the back side will show the stickers in each pocket, along with writing if you chose to write on the back-sides.

Don't forget to decorate your mailing envelope. There is nothing happy about a plain envelope with just an address written on it.

By keeping everything flat, this swap should be fairly inexpensive to mail.

This is a really great idea for a letter! When I first started making Pocket Letters, I thought it would be unique to actually use the papers in each pocket as one's letter! And it looks like I wasn't the only one who thought of it! Great swap idea! Joining!!!

@KarlaKC - Great minds think alike. I'm glad you're onboard. :)
