Based on the Snow Ball swap by @streetjewel and modified with her kind permission...

SO! Round 1 of 4!

Get yourself an envelope (the smallest the USPS will allow is 3.5X5), decorate it, and put a small surprise inside. Mail it to your partner. Rounds will be spaced a week apart.

Your partner will NOT open your adorable envelope, but will place it, and a flat surprise in a larger envelope, decorate the heck out of it and wait for round 2.

And so we will go for 4 rounds. At the end of which time you will receive, chain letter like, a pretty, large envelope full of special envelopes and nifty surprises!

Please do not join if you're unwilling to comment to all rounds. =D

What a cute idea!

I thought so too, which is why I asked to steal it! =D

Neat idea! Not sure I understand it completely but would like to commit to it! I have a question.. Are we supposed to make the envelopes? And are the envelopes supposed to be kawaii paper? Or is the surprise inside just the Kawaii part?

sebastian122 08/28/2013 #

You do not need to make the envelope, no, and yes, kawaii surprises inside. =D

Thinking about it, I changed it to 4 rounds as we leave for Tokyo Oct 2 and that's less than 6 weeks away. Whoops!

Lila84 08/28/2013 #

Thanks for the clarification and I have another question...Do the envelopes need to be kawaii?

sebastian122 08/28/2013 #

Nope, just decorated kawaii...ly.

And so a word is born.

FYI - write the name of the swap on the outside of the envelope so there's no need to open it!

JemStone 09/ 3/2013 #

Uh. I know it's kind of late to ask but can we put it in an envelope that is already kawaii or do we have to make the envelope kawaii ourselves. Asking cause I have a few extra letterset envies that are just sitting around. Haha.

Wondering the same as Jemstone- mine is ready to go if I can put it in an extra kawaii letterset envie..... :)

sebastian122 09/ 4/2013 #

The envelope can be kawaii, yes. It has to be fun is the bottom line. And yes, write the swap name on the outside. Rate your partner a 5 when their envelope arrives... the heart is on you. =D
