FF50+: 10 Steps to Happy Mail

Follow these 10 easy steps to send your partner some happy mail:

• Step 1: Read your partner's profile.
• Step 2: From your own stash, pick out at least two inexpensive flat items, things that you think will make your partner happy. These items can be store-bought or handmade. (Ideas: washi tape samples, note cards, postcards, small coloring pages (no folding), handmade envelopes, quote cards, etc.).
• Step 3: Also from your own stash, pick out a nice note card (handmade or store-bought).
• Step 4: Write a note to your partner inside the note card. Tell a little about you and your day. Perhaps you'll write what you like about autumn. Feel free to write anything you want - my main point here is to write more than just "hi, here is the swap." :)
• Step 5: Put the items into the note card.
• Step 6: Put the note card into an envelope.
• Step 7: Address the envelope to your partner and add your return address too.
• Step 8: Put proper postage on your envelope.
• Step 9: Add some fun things to decorate the front of your envelope to make it colorful and happy (stickers, washi tape, doodles, etc.). You could also make it out of decorative paper.
• Step 10: Send this happy mail to your partner.

P.S. By all means, if you like what your partner sends you or tells you in their note, write back. You may just form a lasting pen pal relationship. :)
