Blue letter

International, 1 partner, this one is not newbie friendly!

We are going to write a letter (handwritten or typed, 2 pages of 5x8/A5 size paper. 1 side of the sheet = 1 page, 2 sides = 2 pages) The topic for the letter is sender's choice, but you MUST use blue in the letter - the paper, the pen, the decoration should mostly be blue. Be sure you have a blue stationery items BEFORE you sign up for this swap! If you don't have blue paper or envelopes, add some blue stickers or washi. Or do a doodle in blue marker/pen and use a blue pen. It doesn't have to be 100% blue, but the overall color should be blue.

When partners are assigned, take a look at their profile (or pull out a letter from a previous swap, if you have one from them) and write them a 2 page letter. Subject of the letter is sender's choice, I'm not giving you prompts to reply to, but be sure the letter is personal and not a form letter type. Wait until partners are assigned before you start your letter, so you know who you are writing to! :)

Decoration of the paper/envelope is sender's choice. But it's always nice to have your partner's likes in mind when you send a swap. Tuck ins/ extras are no required, and be sure to check your partner's profile before sending extras - not everyone likes them.

Keep in mind, this is an INTERNATIONAL swap, so you may need to pay International postage. Only sign up for the swap if you are prepared for that, as well.

Include the swap name and your SB ID with the letter, send on time, and rate when you receive your partner's letter! If you feel that your partner's letter is taking too long to arrive, please contact them, let them know it's not arrived yet. Allow 8-10 weeks for International mail to arrive before you ask for a re-send. I angel all swaps I host, after contact has been made by partners, and a rating of 1 has been given. You need to contact me then.

Who can join?

4.98 rating or above, no late sends on dash. Any 1's to active members should be made up, any 1's or 3's should be clearly addressed (hopefully w/ a date!) for established swappers. No 1's or 3's within the last 6 Months.

Well filled out profile- I should need to scroll down to read your profile (not including ratings) (Pictures don't count for content - explain your likes/dislikes/hobbies) Fill out your profile! - this isn't a blog or online journal, so we don't need a list of your doctors appointments going back 10 years. But - List likes, dislikes, collections, hobbies, interests - things like that so your partner knows who they are swapping with. If you aren't comfortable doing this, then don't join the swap - I will ban you if your profile is not filled out.

No issues on flakers/double profilers/ questionable swapper groups, pages or threads in PF.

Questions? Comments? Please send me a PM I will respond as quickly as possible. Please do NOT leave comments below, I will not see them! SB does not send notifications about swap comments.

Rate when you receive your swap letter - replies aren't required, that's between you and your partner. :)

In the USA, Independence day will fall before the send by date. Please keep in mind that mail is not sorted & delivered on the holidays, so mail will be slower during that week, and postmarks may be off by several days!
