JANUARY SWAP: Happy Mail

(SIGN UPS ARE NOW CLOSED FOR THIS SWAP.)


Location: Regional - USA ONLY
Last day to signup/drop: Jan. 15, 2015
Partners posted by Jan. 18, 2015
Date items must be sent by: January 31, 2015
Number of swap partners: 1

Description:

This is a simple swap that hopefully brings some happiness to your mailbox.  I am hoping to be able to run it each month if it remains popular.
This is a WORLDWIDE swap... but if you want to send to someone in the USA only, or receive from USA only, you can specify this when you sign up.

SWAP DETAILS~ This one is a little different. You will send your partner 3 items that you think would make them smile, with a nice letter (at least 2 sides of paper).
After you receive your partner's name & email, email your partner RIGHT AWAY to find out some of their likes/dislikes.
And remember to send them your address and list of likes/dislikes too.
Some ideas: stickers, a blank postcard, a blank greeting card with envie, anything!
As long as it is nice quality and generous (please don't send mini stickers, reward stickers, teeny tiny stuff...) You get the Gist? Or if they have an obsession with pens.. send a nice pen.. It doesn't have to be much, and you don't have to go shopping, but try to make someone's day!

Swap requirements:
Please, no flakers, if you think you won't be able to send on time or meet the requirements, don't sign up.
We want HAPPY MAIL and swappers ONLY on Swappermania!

Details on N&N FBs:

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Friendship books must be neat, not just a bunch of pieces of paper strewn together. They cannot be slams, friendship sheets or crams.

What is a N&N FB?  

N&N FB = Nice & Neat Friendship Book

http://friendshipbooks.blogspot.com/2010/12/types-of-friendship-books.html

Guidelines for N&N FB swaps on this blog:

1. There will be NO staples in the front cover.
2. The FB should be laminated with packing tape, shelf liner, or laminating sheets.
3. Lamination should be done neatly.
4. Embellishments should be added to the cover. Embellishments include glitter, stickers, foil borders, sequins, ribbon, a nice background, cloth flowers. You can also do something fancy with pictures. Basically just a picture covered with lamination isn't a N&N FB.
5. Addresses should be printed legibly or typed.
6. Make it nice AND neat. Ask yourself whether you are proud of your work or not. 
7. For established N&N FBs, please make sure your partner hasn't previously signed it.
