Like the monthly Pen Pals that Read Profiles swaps, but now adding the crafty envelopes as a challenge! ✉ See below for more info, all the way to the bottom! Send your letter in any kind of unique/one of a kind envelope. You can make it with unique paper, draw, doodle, add washi, stamps, paint, inks, whatever you like. (I'm sure your pal would love it if you used something mentioned in their profile to decorate with, but it's not required) Not just stickers....get creative!!! But, don't JUST focus on the envelope, this is a PEN PAL swap MORE than anything else! The letter is the PRIORITY; the creative envelope is a bonus! **Lately I've seen the USPS taking a LONG time to deliver if it's fully decorated on the envelope; it seems to go faster if it is white/clear on the bottom of the envelope where the barcode goes...just FYI. This swap is for those who: 👍Enjoy decorating envelopes or have been planning to start decorating envelopes! 👍Keep their pal in mind/profile in mind when writing and truly RESPOND to profiles/letters 👍Like a 2 way conversation with a pal; ASKING ?'s RELATED TO THAT SPECIFIC PERSON 👍Tend to write longer letters and send ON TIME. And, 40+ years of age NOT for those who: 👎send the same letters/parts to more than one pal 👎 Write like it's a journal/diary entry or a play-by-play of their day 👎Can't tell who their letter is to by the content 👎doesn't ask any questions specifically FOR that partner/pal 🌈Rating based on whether it was obvious that your partner actually read your profile (by conversing about some of the topics in the profile) AND sent it in a hand decorated envelope! No requirements on length but must be a LETTER, not just a few paragraphs and MORE THAN A NOTE CARD. And, it must be a CREATIVE envelope; not just throwing on some stickers or using something someone else created. 🤷♂️You can be new or seasoned, but you MUST have a well filled-out profile about YOU to join this swap. If your profile is not a good conversation starter for pen paling, it's not meant for this particular swap. (If you say a lot of the things you want/like and very little about you personally, it's not meeting criteria for this swap) |
