Description:

I hope this shows as a group swap since it seems I am making public instead of GROUP swaps.

I love getting decorated envelopes in my mailbox. It's one of my favorite swaps to hostess. If you do also, then sign up for my Decorated a Charming Envie!

The envelope can be any size but decorate it anyway you would like with drawings, glitter, stamps, whatever. You are the artist! I beg you to spend some time on sending something you would like to pull out of the mailbox and only join if you intend on doing that. Please don't join if you are going to slap something together. Now that I have hostessed this sort of a swap many times, I get so many complaints from people about what their partners send. An envelope with a few junky stickers is not what someone wants to pull out of their mailbox! Only join if you like to create. You don't have to be a great artist, I know I am not and I use stickers but I enjoy creating and putting my best effort forward. It can be done!

USA only but if you want to make an international one, be my guest! Let's have some fun and spread some cheer decorated envie-style!

Sorry but I won't be able to angel any longer so please only sign up if you know that you can do this swap and send your partner something.

Common Questions:

Please read above guidelines!

You may be rated down if you do not follow them.

Many complaints come to me because partners do not send a decorated envelope through the mail. They put it inside another envelope. NO! Don't do that! A decorated envie is decorated on the outside of the envelope where you address the letter to your partner. The mailman will see the decorations and so will your partner when they pull it out of their mailbox. That is the point of this swap! It is your choice whether or not you put goodies in the envie. I always try to put goodies that I have that may be mentioned in my swap partner's profile or that have to do with the theme of the envelope but this is entirely up to you. Hearts are given for the quality of the decorated envie not for goodies put inside and for their happiness at receiving your envelope! Backside is optional. You do not have to "make" the envelope.

Last but not least, join my Decorated Envie Group! Find it on my profile page. :) THANK YOU!!!

I'm new to this group- what are the "usual" requirements?

Stacy 02/28/2013 #

I am new as well. It says this is an electronic type swap. Is this like a virtual envelope? Or should we be decorating a real one? Do we write a letter? Should we put any items into it? Is there a minimum value of the contents of the envelope? I love mailart!!

isabellasnow 02/28/2013 #

I think the electronic is just an error. We are supposed to decorate a real envelope.

Stacy 02/28/2013 #

Do you know what the other requirements are, isabella? Thanks for responding!

LonesomeDove2 03/ 1/2013 #

Hi, the requirements are to decorate an envie for 1 partner, your choice, just be creative. I believe that's all. If I'm wrong, someone please correct me.

Thanks for chiming in people in the know! :)

I'll edit the swap to make it understandable to all. I figured if you were in the group, you would have participated in one of my swaps before.

MunsterNCookie13 03/ 9/2013 #

Yeah. I'm decorating my envie right now. can't wait to finish and then mail it off :) thank you for letting me join your group and this swap.
