Description:

Let's add a twist to the standard letter. For this swap you will have 1 partner and will send them a letter in the form of a jigsaw puzzle.

First write a letter on paper (thicker paper might be easier to work with when cutting later). The letter can be about anything you like- greetings, a story, jokes, riddles, doodles, etc. Try and use some colors!

Adding a background pattern will make the puzzle easier to put back together.

If you want to be really crafty, write on both sides to make the puzzle more difficult.

When you have finished, cut the letter up into pieces that all fit together into one, still readable, letter. Mix them up in an envelope and send them off!

(If you include something that's not part of the puzzle, make sure it stands out so your partner doesn't get frustrated trying to make it fit!)

All are welcome, message me if your rating is below 4.

What a cool idea!!!

If someone's rating is below 4, it means she has failed to send more than a quarter of her swaps, or has not met requirements for more than a half of them.
(1+5+5+5)/4 = 4
(3+5)/2 = 4

Love this!!! Hope I can figure out my puzzle!

This would be a great monthly swap, just sayin'...

@ pahasiga: I know 4 could be considered a low rating, but I think that swaps are generally too harsh on people who make a mistake, especially if it happens before they have a lot of other ratings to balance it out. They can't improve their average rating if no swaps will give second chances.
