Description:

I was in a Snail Mail over a year ago on blogger. I enjoyed and had fun. So I thought I would make a swap out of it. So we have the same partner for all six weeks I had to make it with all one swap. You will rate your partner at the end of the six weeks. Your rating will be the over all of the six weeks,You might even get a heart!

Due to postage it's only USA

This "SNAIL MAIL SWAP" will run for SIX weeks. There will be a "theme" for each week. We will send out our letters each MONDAY of the new week.

Please post in the comment space each time you send a week out. Maybe even send a message to let your partner know.

Please don't flake!! If you think you can't do all six weeks don't join the swap. No recent 1's or 3's.. If you have any and would like to join please message me and explain them. Rating of 4.8......No unrated swappers {sorry} I will allow newbies with a well filled out profil. If you do not meet the requirements & sign up anyway I will ban you from the swap.

HERE IS THE SCHEDULE FOR SIX WEEKS..........

MARCH 5 ---- Write your partner and introduce yourself. {tell about life, hobbies, job....stuff like that}

MARCH 12 --- Send a card {Senders Choice Funny,Thinking of you, ST. Paddys Day--ect.}..Bought, Homemade

MARCH 19 --- Write your partner a letter include your favorite recipe or instructions for a quick craft project

MARCH 26 --- Send a post card from your state / hometown. If you CAN"T find a postcard {like me} then write a bit about your state / hometown.

APRIL 2 --- Send a letter to your partner --- Include something in the envelope --- Something Small, like a magnet, bookmarker, anything--- homemade or bought. Senders choice.

APRIL 9 --- Last week is a free for all whatever {senders choice} you want to send.

Any questions please message me! If this swap has a good turn out I will host another one about May or June.

Have Fun!!

So are these dates the "must be sent by" dates?

flofirenzie 02/ 2/2012 #

I only count 5 dates - wouldn't we need six?

bobilani 02/ 2/2012 #

Looks like March 12 is missing. :) This swap sounds super fun - I'm on the watchlist! :)

newadditions 02/ 2/2012 #

If this one runs smoothly I'd love to see the next one include Canada :) I would be interested in this type of swap!

tamtamlee 02/ 2/2012 #

@Flofirenzie thanks for pointing that out...One of the dates didn't show up cause I used the star I had to remove them.

@RandomAshleyness yes the dates are the dates you send out They are all mondays.

@newadditions if this one goes well maybe i will make to include Canada {one of my favorite places}

HeatherWill 02/13/2012 #

One Question @tamtalee when you say letter for March 26th and April 2nd do you mean a letter about anything you'd like? Like per-say how lifes been?

HeatherWill 02/13/2012 #

Okay I lied lol I have 2! The card is it blank or filled out?

jrbnm 02/15/2012 #

this sounds so amazing but I'm brand new here :( will there be another one later?

jrbnm 02/15/2012 #

ooops sorry just finished reading the end of the description I hope it goes well

tamtamlee 02/17/2012 #

@HeatherWill ....You letter can be about anything you like....Hows you day, what have you been up to, etc. The card is filled out...

@jrbnm ...I'm hoping there will be another one

MKHurley 02/17/2012 #

For March 26th if you can't find a postcard, do you use any post card to write about your state/hometown or do you write about your state/hometown in a letter.

tamtamlee 02/18/2012 #

@MKHurley Anyway you like. Myself I had printed off pictures of different things and wrote a few things about it..It took up of the paper and on the other half I wrote a letter to my partner. I can't believe how hard it is to find a postcard about a town.

tamtamlee 02/18/2012 #

Come on you 25 people watching! Come and join in on the fun!

tamtamlee 02/19/2012 #

I have a question....Hoping someone as a answer for! Does anyone know how to send a message to everyone at the same time? I am going to message everyone a day or two before the monday the week is due to go out. Thanks for any help!

handsdown46785 02/21/2012 #

@tamtamlee Anytime I've mass emailed swap participants, I've copied and pasted their regular emails into my gmail account, so you may have to go through here on swap-bot and copy each individual email into your regular email account instead of sending each participant individually on here...if that helps at all!! :)

handsdown46785 02/21/2012 #

@tamtamlee there should be a list of emails when you click on the view participants list down below the list of those who are signed up for the swap that all you have to do is copy and past the list into your composed email....sorry for the double comments on your swap!!

tamtamlee 02/21/2012 #

Thank you handsdown!

tamtamlee 02/23/2012 #

Couple more days before partners are assigned come you 27 people watching join in the fun! You will have a week to get you intro letter wrote and sent out on March 5....

ahabraken 02/26/2012 #

I would love to see an international version of this swap - tamtamlee if you can´t or won´t host that, would you mind if I copy the idea? I would really like to participate in such a swap, but well, I am from Europe.

tamtamlee 02/26/2012 #
