With a tip of the hat to our co-founder Kate @ColoradoKate , currently away from here (moving, etc), we now bring back her welcome swaps -- thank you, Kate!

-- For this swap, you will have 2 partners. Send each partner a letter of introduction, or perhaps you're saying "hello" to an already established friend. :)

Please be fun, entertaining and articulate -- and send something with a little pizzaz! Maybe use a fountain pen or a typewriter, send a postalette or fold-n-mail, make a greeting card or decorate your envelope, use old stamps or mailing labels! Just send something that shows you care.

Extras are lovely, but not required. If you receive a letter from your partner, you should rate a 5. Hearts always warm us all, too, of course!

It's nice to read profiles, but this is sender's choice.

Use real stamps

Include your username and the swap name.
