Description:

Being on a tight budget these days, I've got to curb my swapping a bit. However, since I like coming home to a "happy" mailbox, I've found that for the cost of just $1.80 (roughly a cup of coffee these days), it is possible to send 4 envelopes of "happy mail" to 4 swap partners. For the cost of just 45 cents per envelope, we can easily brighten the days of 4 people with a cheerful letter, and still have room for including a flat surprise (postcard, recipe, bookmark, note card, labels, stickers, etc.).

And, for no additional $, we can add decorate the outside of our envelopes (handmade out of decorative paper, draw/paint/color on a plain one, add some rubber stamped images, use fancy colorful lettering, etc.).

If this sounds like fun to you, come on out & play. While this swap is sender's choice, I do encourage everyone to look at their partners' profiles for ideas on what kinds of surprises to include that might make their partners smile.

Fine details:

  • 4 partners
  • One letter or note card written to each partner with more than just a sentence or two (Please tell a little bit about you and perhaps your day or summer plans if you have any, or even a fun trip you took at some point in your life.). If you're crafty, feel free to make your own cards & envelopes; otherwise, store-bought is fine.
  • Add a flat surprise
  • Don’t forget to decorate your envelopes!
  • Have fun sending & receiving happy mail :-)
