Description:

I ran this swap a couple months ago. It was such fun, and I've heard from some swappers who would like a USA version this time, so here goes!

Open to newbies, with a complete and well thought out profile. A good rule of thumb is, When I open your profile page, I should have to scroll down to read it.

The dates are the same on all three sets, so you can can join us for the whole set, with time to put them together.

I hope to see you there!

For this swap, we are going to get through the alphabet a little quicker...Instead of one letter per page, we are going to shrink it, to one letter per pocket!

DETAILS:

  • Make sure the letter shows up easily on the front of the pocket.

  • You will have ONE partner, to send the pocket letter to.

  • Take a 9-pocket sleeve page, and starting at the top left, reading across, left to right...Fill the first pocket with things that a paper-crafter might like, like stickers, origami papers, decorated papers, envies, etc. Even a color that starts with that letter.

IMPORTANT: When we get to the letter of your first name, or swapping name, please write a nice little note about yourself, to insert in to that pocket.

There are NINE pockets, each representing a letter.

This is ROUND 2 - so we will come up with ideas that start with the second group of letters, J through R.

Here's some examples:

J - jets, jellyfish, junkyards, jams, January, June, July, jump rope, journal, etc.

K -kites, kids, keeps (needle holders), Kansas, keys, Kumihimo, key tags, etc.

L - lips, love, lavender, locks, labels, leaves, letters, etc.

M - music, mandalas, Mylar, matchboxes, mirrors, money😉, markers, etc.

N - notepads, needle arts, night sky, etc.

O - owls, anything orange, October, olives, orangutans, etc.

P - penpals, pictures, anything purple, paper clips, photo corners, etc.

Q - Quilting, quilling, etc.

R - recipes, anything red, rainy pics,

Hi, I don't know if you can help me, but. I signed up for a butterfly pocket letter swap. I know it was still up yesterday because I went in and looked up my partners profile and today when I w t in to get her address the swap was gone!!! Are you running that swap or if not do you know who is so I can get in contact and find out what is going on ? Any help is appreciated!

No, I am not running it...a host can, for whatever reason, choose to delete a swap. Maybe there is something going on in her life, and she needed to step back for awhile, maybe she didn't think there were enough swappers signed up...a host does not need a reason, and I would not think badly of her...

Swapbot should have sent you an email informing you that it had ended.

This is the only pocket letter swap that I run. As soon as I get some things off my plate, I will be adding the 3rd installment to this alphabet.

Happy new year,and I hope this explanation helps.

thank you for your input. I have been in swaps that have been deleted and that is fine. I have received emails as to the deletion but have not for this one. I just want to make sure I did not do anything wrong and will not be penalized for it.

I am thinking of joining this swap, however, I'd like to complete the whole alphabet (not at one time). Are you going to do the A - I again?

GrandmaLinda, yes, this series is pretty popular, I will start it again in about a month after the last installment....if hope you can join us!

I see I missed the signup date for this. Could I still get in? I am in the A-I swap.

gramsbuttonbox 02/18/2016 #

Unfortunately, partners have already been assigned, in this swap.

I will be running the three parts again, in about a month, and hope you will be able to join us.
