Description:

For this swap you will send a 6x9 or larger envelope and decorate it with either collage, funky wrapping paper, stickers, illustration or a combination of all! Make it fun and something to brighten up your partners mailbox. Then, look at your partners profile and send them a surprise (or more!) If they don't have a request, send them something you would love to receive. Remember to tape up your envelope to preserve your work of art! (clear tape, like packing tape, the US postal service can be harsh) This is a great easy swap for newbies or to just have fun.

$1-3 dollars for this swap, although if you make something or use swaps from others this is fine. Just make sure it is something you would like to receive in the mail.

4.9 or higher to join but newbies are welcome with well filled out profiles. USA only, sorry. Feel free to PM me with questions. Happy swapping!

tape it up? not sure how to do this exactly....

Traceyk 05/27/2010 #

Probably tape the whole envelope with clear packing tape when your decorating is done. I think.

Is having to tape it up a requirement for the swap??

iLoveMail 05/27/2010 #

Should there be anything in the envelope?

TheArtfulDogger 05/28/2010 #

The turnaround time on this swap is a little short. Would you consider making it a bit longer, say like 2 weeks?

CraftyTweetie 05/28/2010 #

I agree with TheArtfulDogger. I always like to tailor my swap items to my partner's likes and dislikes, even if the swap is sender's choice and especially if I'm actually making something. So it would really be great if the due date could be extended, perhaps giving us 2 weeks to complete it.

Watching until the send date questions are answered....longer would be better for me too. Thanks!

aubreysmom 05/28/2010 #

Meant to ask ...is there a dollar amount for the items inside?

Rubydora 05/28/2010 #

I've extended the turnaround time and clarified about tape as well as dollar amounts. Enjoy!

I am thinking about this one, the taping thing bothers me though. I would like mine to arrive to my partner or receive from a partner untaped and take my chance with the p.o only because for me its part of the charm-if it gets ripped or dirty then it adds to the art for me personally. I have received totally taped envies in the past and personally don't like them, will watch for now.

HGoodbrad 06/ 2/2010 #

I signed up but I would rather mine not be taped also I agree with Occasiongb6557 the po handling and abuse adds to it!!

watchmespinning 06/ 6/2010 #

Agreed. I'd join if it wasn't for the tape.

nermalski 06/ 8/2010 #

could it be option on taping. Like we could pm our partner to see if they want tape or not taped? I like no tape as well. I'm still watching.

rubyhousesliprs 06/ 9/2010 #

Wow, I was going to join, but this is crazy, tape, no tape..

nermalski 06/18/2010 #

whew I finally got mine out today. I had to wait for it to dry in stages as I had different things that were glued. I loved this swap. Thankyou for hosting it.
