Description:

I wanna thank @barterartistmel who allowed me to copy her swap:


Have you ever editted an All About Me letter? Left out the honest bits and made them a bit more 'rainbows and butterflies'? Ever get one from someone and think - this person has GOT to be lying, they seem just too darn content?! Is their life really this peachy? There must be something wrong with me...

For this swap you will send your partner (one partner) a letter telling them a bit about yourself. But this time don't send a letter telling about just your likes, dislikes, hobbies, interests, your family, job, pets and/or home. (Tho by all means, do include those details as well.) Tell them random things that interest or amuse you, things that make you laugh (even if to you inappropriate is funny - I laugh when uncomfortable, it can be dangerous!) Share some little known facts about yourself, or some secrets, things you don't normally make public when you meet someone. Tell them the most daring thing you have ever done, the most outrageous, the things, the most embarrassing, the bits that you might supress when you normally write a letter introducing yourself. Tell them what you really think of your job, your mother-in-law, the neighbours... Be honest, and don't edit it for the sake of 'what will people think?!' I hate doing 'all about me' letters, because I always wonder how much people edit out of them. I don't have the perfect marriage, most stress-free job, the most angelic kids... I have hobbies that I don't make public to my family... I can't possibly be the only one!

note - disclaimer - nothing vulgar or offensive should be sent, but please reconsider joining if easily offended just in case not seeing eye to eye on certain things could be an issue for you.


Pls send a letter of at least 2 A5 pages, handwritten or typed is sender´s choice.
Include one small, flat, cheap but nice surprise, like a postcard of your area, or a bookmark or whatever comes to your mind.

Remember: The information that is given to you is personal, in my point of view sharing something personal is a precious gift for the receiver, so please don´t mention any of the letter´s content in your rating, or to a third person here on SB, thanks :).

IN SHORT:
- one honest letter
- one small surprise
- a note with your username and the name of the swap
- Pls don´t forget to rate :)!

You´ll have 3 weeks to send, pls send on time, thanks :)!
Pls inform me if there accure any problems during the swap procress.

REQUIREMENTS TO JOIN:
- at least 10 completed and rated Type 2 and 3 swaps
- at least a 4.95 rating
- no unexplained ones in 2012/2013
- no recent unexplained threes
(If you have a bad rating that you can explain, pls message me BEFORE you join, thanks)

DO NOT FLAKE! If you flake on this swap I will report you to the Flaker groups, I will mention you in the forum as a questionable swapper and of course, I will exclude you from all my future swaps!

To be fair, I want to mention that I won´t be able to angel this swap. I am sorry.

Please post any questions you have in the comment section, I´ll check regulary.
It will take me one day for shure to assign partners. Pls don´t join if you don´t want to wait a day.

HAVE FUN :)!
