Description:

This is a US only swap -- let's beat the rise in postal rates! You will have one partner and fill one US legal size (#10)envelope with items (see below) that you can send for just one stamp! US Postal Rates go up on May 12, so the send date for this is May 10th - don't be late!

What can be sent for one stamp? You may pick and choose from this list, you may send more than one item(s) and you are welcome to go over the 1 stamp limit (just don't send your envie so it ends up being postage due.....BOOOO!)

Any theme goes as long as all items are new and usable! Think spring, summer, kawaii, single color, R/W/B, flowers, B&W, little bit of this & little bit of that - whatever you think your recipient might enjoy!

One envelope containing the sender's choice of:

  • 6-10 personalized swap cards
  • 9-12 atc blanks
  • 15-20 atc sleeves
  • 3 original, made by you atcs
  • 2 bookmarks (at least one must be handmade)
  • 2 sticker sheets
  • 20-30 sticker flakes or 12-15 larger size stickers
  • 20-30 punched paper shapes (min size of a dime, no confetti sizes)
  • 1 pen pal letter
  • 2-3 sheets new stationery
  • 5-8 memo sheets (more if these are the mini memo size)
  • 1 collage sheet
  • 20 used postage stamps
  • 1 -2 flat magnets
  • any other flat, useful, fun, pretty, crafty, decorative item you think your recipient would enjoy.

Do not send: coupons, newspaper or magazine clippings or articles, miscellaneous scrap paper, paint chips, food items, paper clips, fiber/yarn, beads (you'll never make the 1 stamp weight limit!), anything old or stained, crossword/sudoko puzzle pages, coloring pages, promotional items. If you don't want it, no one else does either, lol!

When you say ATC blanks do you mean paper thats used for backgrounds?

Hi Ladyb - yes that's exactly what I'm referring to!

I've seen that on other swaps and wasn't sure if it was what I was thinking. :D Thanks for your help!

sounds fun....I've signed up.

Thanks Iheartswaps! I'd rather be overly specific and set expectations on what to send/what you'll get than have disappointed swappers:( Thx for playing!

Okay, partners are assigned. Now I haven't actually weighed everything on this list so the number of items may take you over the 1 oz mark. You may either reduce the number of items or pay the extra postage.

When rating please do not take off for postage due, although it sux, many times it is not the senders fault and with this list, it may be close. I've taken items to the PO, had them weighed at the window, purchased correct postage at the window, then show up on the other side as postage due, grrr!

Okay, ya'll be generous now!

Thank you ladydy5 for a filled to the brim envelope of lovely and useful goodies! Notecards, atc, bookmark, labels, etc! Thanks for a generous ($.58!) envelope and thank you for swapping!
