Is the altered file folder supposed to be sealed so it can serve as the envelope, or does it need to be mailed inside something else along with the flat goodies?

I can't join this one because i'll be out of town during those dates - but PLEASE do another one, it sounds awesome & I'd love to do one. Or maybe using a file folder to turn it into a couple of mini albums? :) :)

Do you want the folder left at original size? I have done these before but usually resize a little smaller (a bit closer to business size envelope)

@WalkThoreau Good question - I will clarify in the swap description to leave as original size.

SO excited for this swap! :0D I am new to Swap-Bot and can't wait
To host mine own swaps. I was thinking of a
Swap like this, so when I saw your swap
I had to join IMMEDIATELY!!! :0D. I had 1 quick question though,
What do you mean "without folding?"
Isn't it suppose to be like a folder or
Totally and completely altered?
Maybe it's easy, but I just want to make
Sure that I am clear. Thx! :0)

@chantallusk914 Welcome to the swap! By "no folding," I mean don't fold up the folder to fit it into a smaller envelope... please mail it flat.

Oh yes, of corse. Just wanted to make sure that I understood correctly! Thank you so much! I am SO EXCITED!!! ;0D<3 ~Chantal
