  • Have completed at least 10 type 3 swaps and have them rated as well. I will automatically remove from the swap participants who do not qualify.

  • Have at least a 4.90 rating with no recent 3s or 1s.

  • Make the package sturdy to keep booklet from being damaged during the mailing process.

I'll host this swap each month with different theme so keep an eye on future swaps!

I'm posting this swap early and will leave 20 days to send out your booklets so you have a chance to collect needed stamps to complete it.

If you have any questions, you can send me PM or leave comment here!

This is a great swap!!! How do I make my note visible in a newspaper sheet or a dark sheet for instance? Can I use some other clear papaer on top of those to paste my notes? any suggestion?

MichelleWillow 02/23/2012 #

Yep. You can cut pieces of envies and glue to make kind of writing frames.

Love the look of your stamp booklet, I found it via the blog entry & flickr - do you find it hard to give it away after making it?

I love paper crafts, but haven't done much for a while... Think I might be tempted to give this one a go in April.

Thinking cap is on. (10 recycling tips...)

MichelleWillow 02/27/2012 #

No, don't find hard to give them away. I can always recreate them if I want since I take pictures of all of my booklets. Besides, all the fun is in the research and collecting information. Learning new things or renewing knowledge about things you have once knew but somehow forgot ;)

Thanks - you have really inspired me.
