This is a neat swap, I love decorating envelopes and I hate sending plain ones!!!

ohhhhh FUN FUN FUN! - runs and grabs some colors and other goodies - I SO agree, sending plain ordinary envelopes is just so ....well..."ordinary" - thanks for hosting this one, it will be FUN! (Oh I said that already) MaryB

Does it matter what size the envelopes are? I have both large and small manilla envelopes... If I use the large envelopes, I will have to fold them to send them in another large envelope, is that OK? I would rather use the large envelopes because there will be more room to get creative with! LMK!

The size of the envelope does not matter. Use what you want!!

And while we are at it, might as well do one more and send it to The Envelope Collective, http://www.envelopecollective.com/, and get it posted online. They have received more than 1000 envelopes from all over the world. Really funky envelopes!

Oh PostMuse...what have you done to me? I just spent the better part of yesterday looking at envelopes! I got great ideas for the altered postcard swap too...wheeeee

Yup, The Envelope Collective can such away hours :D I just finished up an envelope for them and will be sending it out today.

I also finished my envelopes for this swap, though I'll probably end up doing more and more to them since the swap doesn't start for another few weeks.

May we start with handmade envelopes. and decorate them?

May we start with handmade envelopes. and decorate them?

You can start with handmade envelopes, it is totally up to you!!

Yay! I made mine last night :)

My daughter ALWAYS decorates her envys, so I just sent out a bunch of swap bot swaps today al deco'ed up! t'was a lot of fun! susi I'm in...

I made a community on livejournal for swap-bot swappers to post pictures of what they're swapping, make friends, etc. It is a very new community, and I think it will be a lot of fun as soon as you join.

Have a nice day.

I already started, have one and a half made already....yipee!

I made mine last night, it was so fun!

I tried the live Journal link and my MSN browser said unable to locate. I was hoping to see some decorated envies.

pattywagan - just for some ideas - I found a darling pic in a catalog of a statue of three little puppies holding a "Welcome" sign - the picture was about the exact size of an envie, so I cut out the "Welcome" part of the plaque, and glued it to the front of the envelope - wrote the address in that rectangle - mailed it to a penpal, (not here), already, but heard back that they loved it -

I've pasted pictures from magazines, stickers, maps, old calendars, ANYTHING - just think outside the box! hahaha

have a good week, MaryB

This will be my first swap and I came up with alot of great ideas during the wee hours of the morning. I can't wait to make them and send them off for someone else to enjoy!

CAUTION - to ALL swap-bot swappers -

If you EVER come across a swapper with ANY of the following info, BEWARE - she has been scamming swap-bot since the beginning, I don't know if she EVER has sent anything!

JENNA ~ PERRY ~ QUIGLEY ~ Oak Street ~ EUGENE ~ OREGON

She is NOW using the swap-bot ID "Aloha"

(Any of those words in her email, website, or swap name - do NOT send to her, unless she sends and her items are RECEIVED!)

She now has a rating of 1 - which is a good thing, once she deletes her profile, which she probably will do, those will all disappear - -

SO MAKE A NOTE OF THE ABOVE - - AND BEWARE!

Heartsnyou -- your pkg is going out this afternoon. :)

Jessica, I sent yours today!! Hope you like them! amymisha

szreader: your package is on its way....ENJOY!

I'm a pokey mailer... but! it is in the mail today!!!! Patty

I'M the pokey mailer!! Cloverst... your mailing was sent today! :) -Juli

Thank you maloo5! My envelopes came today, neighbor.

DDMaree, your envelopes were mailed in a nice big do-not-bend supersize envie Wed. afternoon. I had a lot of fun using my postoids and smartalecky stamps to give you surely a small collection of mailable masterpieces! I also sent a few I make from magazine pages. Hope you like! Kelli (snarglebean)

FarStarr, You're welcome! What are neighbors for!! ;)

Huh? Now I'm all confused.... That's what you get from being in two envie swaps at once! Mine were out yesterday though I've had flu since then and haven't been able to click sent.....

What's a pokey mailer?

With a 102 member swap, I wanted to send a personal thank you but aggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhh....name not included nor the SwapBot name either.

So...if you are BPS from Washington DC, please drop me a note.

At any rate, they are great cards. Thanks.

Marlene

A pokey mailer: Someone who has a completed swap in their car for days until finally the day before the deadline goes to the post office and weighs it to get the postage right and then mails it. That would be me!

snarglebean ~ your envies arrived today! What FUN, they are so COOL!! Thank you I love all of them! DeAnne :D

"pokey" as in "slow poke"... in my case, a procrastinator :)

Over the top wonderful from Bean Blossom...Thank you for your supreme creativity!

Kind Regards, Sue

heartsnyou (sue!),

Thank you for the compliments! I had fun making them! :)

Pam

Hi, I have still not received anything from Jessica Jewel, did you send the swap yet, late, etc?

Alexis Leatherwood, I was going to rate you with a 5 <3 then I realized you weren't my swap partner. Thank-you so much, these envelopes are gorgeous.

The person who was supposed to send to me was Jessica Jewel. I have sent her an email, and posted to the swap page without response. I have still not received anything. Jessica if you have sent let me know and I will change the "1" rating while I wait for your envelope to arrive.

K-ROCK, I got "accidents" as a partner, who I've seen on the forums has been banned from Swap-bot. I know it would be our second set, but if you send me some envies, I'll send you some. I'll PM you.
