Description:

For this swap you take 8 small envelopes (I´d say around the size of an ATC, but can be a little bigger or smaller of course).
Decorate each envelope. You can use handmade or storebought envelopes, - but still have to decorate them. (Ideas: peautiful paper, stickers, washitape, ribbons, fabric, embelishments, drawings, paintings, rubber stamping...)
No artstic talent required BUT put love and effort in every single envelope!! It should take you some time to creat them :).

For each envelope:

Take a small card or sheet of paper (pls use stronger paper than usual writing paper) that fits into the envelope.
Write a positive thought / quote / wish on it. Anything you think will cheer your partner up. It can be a positive inspiring quote you love, a nice wish for your partner, even a compliment you want to make after you have read your partner´s profile :). It only has to be positive :)!
If you use a quote that you translate from your mother tongue into English, it would be nice to write it in your mother tongue as well as in English.
Again :) : Decorate the card on the side you wrote!

Now put a little surprise in each envelope. (Ideas: sticker flakes, a teabag, a nice small picture, embelishments, a small candy, maybe an inexpensive jewlery, a tiny letter..... what ever you think may cheer yor partner up and fits into the envelope).

Seal each envelope! (That´s important for curious persons like me, helps me not to open them all at once ;)).
You can seal with a sticker, with washitape, with a wax seal,.....


The idea is that you can keep the envelopes and open one when you feel you need a happy thought :).

No matter if you keep the envelopes or open them at once, you need to rate immediately.

On the picture you see envelopes I made for the "creative tea swap", just an idea how the envies for this swap could look like.

Requirements to join:
- at least 30 rated Type 2/3 swaps, at least 10 completed type 3 swaps
- no ones the last 12 months - no recent unexplained threes
- no 1 ever owened to a swapper who is still active at SB
(if you have a bad rating that you can explain, pls message me when you join, thanks :))
I reserve the right to ban a participant even when they meet the requirements.

DO NOT FLAKE! If you FLAKE, you will be reported to the flaker groups and of course I will exclude you from all my future swaps.

Pls post any questions you have in the comment section.

HAVE FUN :)

Feel free to check out the other swaps I´m hosting :)

what a wonderful idea! Love it. I would join, but I have a "1" I am still finishing up resolving, and won't have a new rating by the signup end date.

@ladywolfsong I am honestly sorry as I see your difficult situation, but pls understand that as a host I need to stick to my requirements. However, I shurley do this swap again in the future,hopefully your 1 is resolved then. And of course, feel free to copy and paste my swap and host your own whenever you like to. Best wishes to you :)!
