Description:

If you joined the first swap, pls read carefully, because I have added some information.

For this swap you take 8 small envelopes (I´d say around the size of an ATC, but can be a little bigger or smaller of course).
Decorate each envelope. You can use handmade or storebought envelopes, - but still have to decorate them. (Ideas: beautiful paper, stickers, washitape, ribbons, fabric, embelishments, drawings, paintings, rubber stamping, collages...)
No artistic talent required BUT put love and effort in every single envelope!! It should take you some time to create them :).
Pls understand that this is a type 3 swap, not only due to the fact that the package isn´t flat anymore but also becouse this swap is supposed to have a crafty component. It´s not enough to use handmade envelopes, you still have to decorate them. If you use storebought envelopes make shure they are mostly covered. Of course stickers are allowed, but don´t only use stickers to decorate! - So: No sticker slapping!

For each envelope:

Take a small card or sheet of paper (pls use stronger paper than usual writing paper) that fits into the envelope.
Write a positive thought / quote / wish on it. Anything you think will cheer your partner up. It can be a positive inspiring quote you love, a nice wish for your partner, even a compliment you want to make after you have read your partner´s profile :). It only has to be positive :)! This shall be written by hand.
If you use a quote that you translate from your mother tongue into English, it would be nice to write it in your mother tongue as well as in English.
Again :) : Decorate the card on the side you wrote!

Now put a little surprise in each envelope. (Ideas: sticker flakes, a teabag, a nice small picture, embelishments, a small candy, maybe an inexpensive jewlery, a tiny letter..... whatever you think may cheer yor partner up and fits into the envelope).

Seal each envelope! (That´s important for curious persons like me, helps me not to open them all at once ;)).
You can seal with a sticker, with washitape, with a wax seal,.....


The idea is that you can keep the envelopes and open one when you feel you need a happy thought :).

No matter if you keep the envelopes or open them at once, you need to rate immediately.

Requirements to join:
- at least 30 rated Type 2/3 swaps, at least 10 completed type 3 swaps
- no ones the last 12 months - no recent unexplained threes
- no 1 ever owened to a swapper who is still active at SB
(if you have a bad rating that you can explain, pls message me when you join, thanks :))
I reserve the right to ban a participant even when they meet the requirements.

DO NOT FLAKE! If you FLAKE, you will be reported to the flaker groups and of course I will exclude you from all my future swaps.

Pls post any questions you have in the comment section.

HAVE FUN :)

To make it "official", I want to add here, that the swap was rerouted to exclude @basilikum83 who is a huuuge flaker and fully suspended. @MeganSR sent to @Pixiewillow instead of sending to her original partner @basilikum83 @Pixiewillow has already received and posted a "Thank you" on @MeganSR ‚´s wall. A big thank you to all that were involved for beeing so cooperative.
