Description:

There's nothing worse than walking out to your mailbox and seeing a pile of white envelopes. It's repetitive, and boring. I have been making homemade envelopes for years, and my post lady has always said she loves delivering my mail because it's always full of something neat!

So lets make your mail delivery person feel the same way!! For this swap you will take 2 envelopes (no smaller than 6x9) and glam them up. Paint it, draw on it, embellish it, whatever you wish. Don't just slap some stickers on it, draw in a corner, or color it one color and call it a day. Make it artful.. and make sure that it is something you would love to receive for yourself!

Then after all the decorating is done... slip something inside that correlates to your partners profile. Stickers, notecards, homemade envies, ATC's, whatever you wish. What you put in the envelope, or how much you put in the envelope is up to you - but it must be something your partner is interested in!

I will be going through the list of people who join prior to partners being assigned. NO FLAKERS!! If we end up with some however, I will angel for them.

I am new however I am in a few swaps-just sent some out so I hope I don't get booted! I am very excited for this swap-as i just- discovered decorating envelopes recently!

@ PezPiece from my understanding of this swap & some others, when you are new- you should try to fill out your profile as much as possible and log in often. You were probably just booted as a precaution for other swapers, I am new but it seems as though people sign up and join then never get back on.

@PezPiece - As a precaution to other swappers, I always make sure those that are swapping are within good standing, have well filled out profiles, and have completed at least 2 swaps. Although I welcome newbies, your profile lacked all of my personal scanning requirements. Your profile was not filled out so your partner would not know what to place inside the envelope for you as a surprise. Also, you just signed up on 12/29/2011, and you have not completed any swaps as of date. As I stated in my email response, you might find it easier to build your rating history by joining some private swaps before joining group swaps. Once you build a good history, I will gladly accept you into my swaps. Happy Swapping!

Hi! Have you set up the partners? I am a newbie and I am not sure how this works out?

Mum0fTree 01/ 1/2012 #

@Amna15 at the top of the page, on the right hand side you will see "See the partners you send to". Click that link, and it will provide you the mailing information for your partners.

Amna15 01/ 2/2012 #

Ok thanks so much =D

Amna15 01/ 7/2012 #

ii only received one envelope =/ Are we supposed to receive 2? sorry for the confusion

Amna15 01/ 7/2012 #

the envelope that ii got was standard size not a 6x9... ii already left the feedback and then ii realized that the user did not meet the swap requirements...=/

Mum0fTree 01/ 7/2012 #

I believe you can remove your feedback.. not sure, but . Either way, try emailing the partner and see if they are willing to resend.

Mum0fTree 01/ 7/2012 #

What I was trying to say is...

I believe you can remove your feedback.. not sure. But I know you can change it. Either way, try emailing the partner and see if they are willing to resend.

Ok I am a loser and I got to the post office too late today. It will be sent out Monday and I'm very sorry for the lameness. I will be adding some extra art in them.

Amna15 01/ 9/2012 #

Thanks @MumofTree I contacted my swap partner and I am waiting for them to get back to me! BTW, have you received my envelope? I really hope that you like it =D

Amna15 01/ 9/2012 #

No answer from my swap partner...=/ I think ii just got flaked on for the very first time =;(

Mum0fTree 01/10/2012 #

Technically you didn't get flaked on cuz they did send u something.. it just didn't meet requirements. When the other rating options open up ( 2 weeks after the mail deadline) rate ur partner accordingly... if you don't hear anything from them, I will angel in their spot.

Amna15 01/11/2012 #

"Flaked" means that they don't send you anything at all? ii rate them with a 3 then right?

" 3 - I got my stuff, but it didn't meet the posted swap requirements."

Amna15 01/12/2012 #

Okay so my swap partner agreed to do the swap over! Yay!

Mum0fTree 01/12/2012 #

Yay! And yes you were correct
