Description:

For this swap either make an envelope or use a store bought envelope and decorate it using things like deco or washi tape, stickers, collage, drawing, painting, or anything else you can think of. Then take a look at your partner's profile and include a few things you think they'll enjoy. The surprises can be handmade or store bought.

Remember to include your swap-bot username and the name of the swap. Also remember to rate when you receive.

This swap is newbie friendly, because I know it is hard to find swaps to join as a newbie, and also it should be easy to complete and earn ratings. However, I will be looking at every profile and removing any swappers that I feel will cause a problem, such as swappers with recent unresolved 1's, or unexplained 3's. I will set the ratings at 4.9 with unrated swappers allowed for newbies. Please have a well filled out profile including likes and dislikes.

I will angel if necessary.

This swap is International. There is a USA only version as well.

Please don't hesitate to ask questions if I've missed something or if something is unclear. Thanks for joining and I hope everyone enjoys receiving their decorated envies with surprises!

Hello :) So I have two questions... 1) Is there a minimum number of surprises we should send? 2) Also, we are talking about simple/cheap surprises right (otherwise you would set a minimum amount of money for us to spend, right?)?

Thanks in advance :)

@WorldInMyMailbox It should be more than one surprise, but other than that, there is no minimum. And you are correct; this is not meant to be a costly swap. Things like stickers, note cards, stationary, or bookmarks could be the surprises. :)

Hello, Is there a specific envelope size that we have to send?

WorldInMyMailbox 05/ 5/2014 #

Thanks @nisforneville :)

@GomadCreations There isn't a specific envelope size, so it is up to you. Just be aware that certain sizes or shapes (like square) of envelopes do require extra postage.

Great idea. Just started making mail art during Christmas, so I can't wait to create something special for someone. Happy Swapping!

I'm a newbie, so I'm not when we get assigned a partner ..

nisforneville 05/13/2014 #

@penpalslove the last day to sign up is the 16th, so partners will be assigned on the 17th.

This may be a weird question but can you be a volunteer angle? I'm still kinda new at this, so i just want to get a few things straight.(◕‿◕✿)/

@goatsarecute I always angel for my own swaps, but some hosts do ask for volunteers when they need an angel. I hope that answers your question. If you're looking for swaps to angel for, here is the angel section of the forums: http://www.swap-bot.com/forums/category/12

I just have to ask (I guess I'm a little stupid, lol) but we decorate an envelope and then use this envelope to send some surprises to the assigned partner? Not put the decorated envelope in another envelope?

nisforneville 05/16/2014 #

@lillebella Yes, the decorated envelope is the envelope you use to mail the surprises. :)
