??? What word are you referring to please?

This sounds fun!! =) Is there a certain amount of each item that you have to give? For example, do you give 1 sticker, 10, or a sheet? Postcards, how many? Same with sticky notes, gift tags, etc? I'm pretty new to the site & don't want to get a low rating b/c I didn't send enough of a certain item. Can you please explain that part to me...I haven't done a swap like this yet, but I'm thinking of joining if this is cleared up for me =) Also, does it have to be packaged a certain way? Is a large envelope ok? Sorry for what may seem like some silly questions, but I like to be sure I'm doing things 100% ....thanks =)

Mine's ready to go! :)

Any envelope is fine. The idea is it only costs the price of a stamp so you don't want too much of everything but obviously a few tiny stickers wouldn't be fair. So in terms of stickers something alonf the lines one or two bigger stickers, 5-6 medium or 10+ small ones.

No criteria with how it is packaged but remember the dimension and weight limits of a stamp .

I hope that helps. This is my first time hosting and it is a swap I saw being done in USA and thought it would be good to have a UK version (with permission of USA host)

Mine's ready to go. Will I be penalised if I have to send it first class? It's difficult to measure the height of the envelope :(

SandyLane 03/18/2015 #

I don't mean first class - I mean more than a second class stamp.

Sianb84 03/18/2015 #

No, you shouldn't be marked down if it costs you.more to send.
