Description:

I am pretty new to swapbot but I have not yet seen this sort of swap so here I go organizing my very first swap!! If it works out I'll do more of them in the future. This is not a stuff an envelope real quick and mail out kind of swap.

So, I am a huge snail mailer and I have over 30 penpals around the world. Some just like to write long letters and have conversations, some like to just swap flat items they can't get where they are, and some like to do the creative letters. With the ones that enjoy creative things we send each other a creative "mailtag" which is like a normal mail tag ( a "tag" in a penpals letter asking the other to answer some questions) the creative part in our version of tag is like a Scavenger hunt-like mail tag. We send each other 1-5 tag topics and the other has to incorporate it in their next letter. Example: Tag says: Pink, Satin, and Puppies. I would dig through my craft boxes and try to find these items that closely match these and use them in my letter. I would add extra creativity by using them decoratively in the hand crafted card I make for them. If I can't find the item or a picture of it I would draw or paint it on.

In this swap you will get one partner to play creative mail tag with. You will find 5 things off their profile page and use that to create a hand crafted card, flip book, or pocket letter showcasing 5 of their favorite things. Creativity is a big must for this swap so please take your time and make some pretty swaps for your partner. Don't forget to add a little note to them.
