Description:
This is a UK only swap, due to the nature of it. I know we don't have many members from within the UK, but this attracts those few! This is a simple, easy and very cheap swap! All you need to do is buy a simple item, and will only require a single letter stamp, which cost 34p, if I'm correct. Items you could send include; A teabag or two, a bookmark, an ATC, ephemera, stamped images, stickers, a blank notecard, postcards (in the envelope), a thin sweetie, address labels with your partners address, thin embellishments and anything else you can think of! Because it is quite a cheap swap, you will have THREE (3) partners, all of whom you will send ONE (1) item, or more to aim for hearts, and if the weight and thickness stays within a letter size. PLEASE, PLEASE remember to keep the weight, thickness and size within a letter postage. That means we don't have to go to the post office for special weighings, and that swap partners don't have to pay extra postage for their swap packages! All swappers must be above 4.5, and newbies must have a compeleted profile, not just one or two words. No more than 2 no sends, please. Don't meet the requirements? Just message me :) Any questions or suggestions can go below :)

Brilliant idea! Thanks ;)

Does it need to be only one item or can we send more as long as it is in the weight range?

Are we talking small letter size, or large letter? You get more "depth" to the package if its large letter!!

Boatingbelle - No, it can be as much as you want, as long as it stays within the weight range, but remember you might only get one item back!

Hoppyloo - I'm talking small letter :)That's why all the things I listed are either super thin, or just thin enough to fit a small letter :)

Thank you Sam for your nice package, even if the hearts did spill out all over the kitchen floor when I opened it!! I had to get down on my hands and knees and pick them all up with wet fingertips!

Thank you Melanie for your nice package, I see you are a Lakeland addict too, and I loved the little cat.

Regards, Margot

Thank you Sally for your generous package. I was looking for a suitable fabric to use for the ladybird quilt patch and yours will be ideal.

Regards, Margot

Just took mine to the post office and had to pay an extra 14p for each one, as they were a bit too chunky. Oops! Sorry for breaking the 'one stamp' rule!

I am so sorry to my 3 partners for the delay in sending - they're all ready to go this afternoon, I had unexpected guests over the weekend which totally threw me! Hope everyone enjoys their packages :)
