Description:

"Open when letters" were one of the best little surprises that my friends gave me one birthday. Instead of doing this for a birthday occasion I've decided to do an around the world swap.

I will add a link to a blog post I found from 'One Girl In A Massive World' who goes through and shows you the open when letters she made for her friend. You can also find some amazing examples on Pinterest.

Minimum requirements for the swap:

Min 5 'open when letters' (This does not include the 'open when...you receive this')

One envelope with 'open when...you receive this', in this one, you will introduce yourself to your partner, tell them a bit about yourself, your week and what you do for self-care. You can also add any other 'about me' sort of things into this envelope.

Each 'open when' envelope must include one letter with advice of what to do when they are sad, happy, having a bad day etc, as well as a small goodie to cheer them up or go along with this. IT IS UP TO THE SENDER HOW PACKED THEY MAKE THE INDIVIDUAL ENVELOPES

This link should work.

You need to scroll down - just a bit.

This is a great idea.

OMG I'm so glad for that link and for this swap description. But don't be mad - I'm going to make them for my daughters for Christmas! No time to join the swap! But SOOOO glad for the idea!

Please make sure you check all profiles last time I did this swap I never got it because I had a flake and so did another girl
