Description:

I love getting decorated envelopes in my mailbox. It's one of my favorite swaps to hostess. If you do also, then sign up for my Decorated an Envie for Easter!! The envelope can be any size but decorate it anyway you would like with drawings, glitter, stamps, whatever. You are the artist!

I beg you to spend some time on sending something you would like to pull out of the mailbox and only join if you intend on doing that. Please don't join if you are going to slap something together. Now that I have hostessed this sort of a swap many times, I get so many complaints from people about what their partners send. An envelope with a few junky stickers is not what someone wants to pull out of their mailbox! Only join if you like to create. You don't have to be a great artist, I know I am not but I enjoy creating and putting my best effort forward. USA only but if you want to make an international one, be my guest! Let's have some fun and spread some cheer decorated envie-style! Sorry but I won't be able to angel any longer so please only sign up if you know that you can do this swap and send your partner something.

Please make the envie as soon as you sign up so once partners are assigned, you can send it off since this is a quick turnaround.

Common Questions:

Please read the guidelines! You will be rated down if you do not follow them. Many complaints come to me because partners do not send a decorated envelope through the mail. They put it inside another envelope. NO! Don't do that! A decorated envie is decorated on the outside of the envelope where you address the letter to your partner. The mailman will see the decorations and so will your partner when they pull it out of their mailbox. That is the point of this swap!

It is your choice whether or not you put goodies in the envie. I always try to put goodies that I have that may be mentioned in my swap partner's profile or that have to do with the theme of the envelope but this is entirely up to you. Hearts are given for the quality of the decorated envie and your happiness at receiving the envelope!

Backside is optional.

You do not have to "make" the envelope.

This is USA only. Feel free to copy this swap for Canada or International.

Here's 2 questions for you.

What do you prefer 2 partners or 1? I've always done 1 but it's just as easy to do two of the same and then you get 2 different ones back! Let me know.

Also, should I allow newbies? I haven't before but then it's fun to help newbies and we've all been a newbie!

Last but not least, join my Decorated Envie Group! Find it on my profile page. :)

THANK YOU!!!

Hooray!

kingm21 03/13/2013 #

Is there going to be another version of this for the group only?

pinkstrawberryz 03/13/2013 #

Quick question..is the mailing envelope decorated or is it an envelope decorated in another envelope?

Tia 03/13/2013 #

Many complaints come to me because partners do not send a decorated envelope through the mail. They put it inside another envelope. NO! Don't do that!

Pinks...please read the description. It says right in it that it is not a decorated envelope in an envelope! Decorate your envie and send it, period!

THANKS! :)

no there will not be one for the group only. I already did a march group swap. I will make a different one in april so sign up for this! :)

pinkstrawberryz 03/13/2013 #

Thanks Tia. Prior to this swap they requested envelopes in another envelope so always good to double check! :)

pinkstrawberryz 03/13/2013 #

Just realized I didn't read the whole description prior (Dope!) thanks

Tia 03/14/2013 #

Lol. I think my guidelines are really wordy but I've been doing this kind of swap for so long that I'm trying to field the usual messages I get in my mailbox! :)

LilCowgirl 03/14/2013 #

well, i d definitely prefer 1 partner.... but it s the only easter mail art swap so i m signing up anyway. my challenge to get it done (i sure will, dont worry)...

Tia 03/14/2013 #

I like partner also, Lil but then I like getting two different ones! ;)

nancylee 03/14/2013 #

As long as US only two is okay, but international defiantly one

Tia 03/16/2013 #

Agree, Nancy. All my swaps are USA due to cost and me not liking going to the post office!:)
