Let do the Alphabet through Pocket Letters

This swap is for Pocket letter newbies, who want a chance to try out this new penpal craze, in a safe, judgment free swap. No stress, no worries. For this swap there is no wrong way of doing a Pocket Letter.

You will have one partner. Basically, you fill up a 9 pocket trading card sleeve with 2.5 X 3.5 scrapbook paper that is decorated, use things like quotes, stickers, ribbon ect., And, inside the back of the pockets you tuck in little goodies. They might be washi tape samples , ribbon, stickers, buttons, embellishments, tea bag, sequins, etc, The first pocket holds a nice letter from you, about a 1/2 page, in this letter, explain how each pocket represents your letter.

These will be a series of Pocket Letters Based on the Alphabet. This is for the letter C.
The rules for these pocket letters are pretty simple.
Choose a theme that begins with C, you can either do all the pockets in that theme, or do all 9 pockets with a different C theme.
For example: I can do a complete pocket letter with an cat theme.
Or, I can do 1 pocket cat, one an crocodile, one a cookie ect.
To make it easy, only 6 of the pockets need to be the letter theme, so 3 will be senders choice. But of course you can always choose to do all 9, its up you!

Get creative! you can do it!! You do not have to decorate the back of the pocket, only the front. Goodies in the back do not have to be the letter theme, they are senders choice. *please note, because there has been some confusion- each pocket has in the front, a decorated piece of scrapbook paper, sort of like a less elaborate ATC. Goodies go in the back, behind the paper.

Make sure the swap name and your Swapbot name is on there somewhere.

Remember: this swap is for people who are new at pocket letters, so if your picky, this may not be the swap for you

Try to keep things relatively flat, when you fold this letter into thirds, you can mail it in a long envelope. Open to swappers with at least a rating of 4.97, and has at least ** 5 type 3 swaps.** I will be checking profiles carefully. If you have recent or unexplained 1's or 3's please Pm me.

Send your swap on time, and don't forget to rate your partner. Think of your rating as a thank you note, its very nice to thank the person who took time to create something for you. Rate a 5 if it was sent on time ,even if you didn't like it. If you don't receive your swap please let me and your partner know before rating a 1 or 3.

Yes, the "A" & "B" swaps have already taken place. But, you can jump in at "C" with no problems.
