Description:

We had a really good month of July and September with the Monday Mailer, so let's do it again for November. The idea is simple: you'll have one partner, and every Monday, you mail out an envelope/packet to her. This is a USA only swap to help ensure mailings arrive within a week.

At the end of the swap, you should have received four mailings, and possibly made a new friend. I can testify to that! One of my dearest friends is a swapper I was paired with more than 10 years ago in a Monday Morning Mailer swap on another, now defunct, swap site.

Every Monday you will mail your partner an envelope or small package that contains something to read, something to do or try and a short note on the week's topic. The themes are broad and can be interpreted in any way. (If you'd like, your something to read and something to do can be related to the week's topic.)

Monday, Nov. 5: An introductory note or letter. Theme: Favorite fall tradition

Monday, Nov. 12: Theme - Faithfulness

Monday, Nov. 19: Theme - Thanksgiving

Monday, Nov. 26: Theme - The Christmas season

Feel free to respond to your partner. Maybe a long-term friendship will indeed develop.

Examples of something to read: a letter, an article, a short story or a book, a zine, a devotion, etc.

Examples of something to do or try include, but are not limited to: craft kits (for cards, ATCs, dotees, etc), crossword, sudoko or other puzzles, a Bible quiz or study, recipes, a profile-related project or activity, a mix CD to listen to, etc.

Examples of surprises: Christmas ornaments, bookmarks, postcards, art made by you, profile surprises (check your partner's profile for suggestions), anything related to faith or Christianity, etc.

Rate your partner after receiving the fourth envelope/package.

Since its weekly mailers I decided to use the comment forum to document when I send so I can keep track: today's I mailed off today... it was just as cheap to send priority so I did ... routing numbers 9505 5104 5131 8309 3887 10

That's the idea! Thanks.

I received a wonderful Week 1 from my partner. Thank you.

All: Just realized that Veterans Day (which is today/Sunday), but is observed by USPS on Monday. If you haven't mailed out already, use the APC machine if available and working or mail out on Tuesday.
