Description:

As we hear that we in the UK are headed back into lockdown without the prospect of summer sun I thought I would start a series of swaps to bring some happiness to our mail boxes, I will host a swap each week we are in lockdown and these swaps are designed to be sent with either a regular or large letter stamp so if the postoffices shut or have restricted hours and we canโ€™t access them we can still join in.

I will initially set up the first 4 weeks, please be aware that these swaps have a shortish turnaround.

Week 1: Happy Mail, note card and a decorated envelope Week 2: Craft Mail, make your partner some crafted happy mail such as a decorated tag, pocket letter, set of 3 ATCโ€™s, flipbook ect. Week 3: Flat Gift, this might be 3 small handmade decorated envelopes, 10 die cuts, blank note cards and envelope ect. Week 4: Decorated Letter, write your partner a letter, tell them a little bit about yourself, how you are coping with lockdown and what you like about swaps. Decorate the letter and the envelope.

Week 1 - This can be made in advance, decorate an envelope, stickers can be used but no sticker slapping and add a notecard with a brief note in and send to your partner.

Any questions send me a message

Bit of info for anyone in the UK. If you find yourself with Post Offices shut and no stamps, you can print off postage labels using Royal Mail Click and Drop. It works for letters, not just parcels. You can also order stamps in the post on the Royal Mail shop website.

Is this just for week 1?

What do you mean by โ€˜no sticker slapping me on envelopes, surely we should decorate them? Xxxx

@bluebellswaps I think she means decorate with more than just a few stickers on a plain envelope

Bluebellswaps - as JenniferM555 says yes please decorate the envelopes but please do more than just add a few stickers these envelopes should be an art work in itself.

JenniferM555 yes this is just swap 1 I have listed each swap separately so we get different partners

@eel9585 did I get week 1 wrong. was it just suppose to be a card in a decorated Envie? I thought it was happy mail with a notecard in a decorated Envie? I sent a few flat pieces with mine
