Let's start 2015 with stocking up some snailmail supplies!
This swap is great for everyone who has penpals, or who would like to start penpalling :)

For this swap, you will have 1 partner which you will send the following:

  • 4 sheets of (decorated) writing paper: 2x A4 size, and 2x A5 size. The pairs of 2 have to be matching, but the A4 and A5 sized paper may be different.

  • 2 (decorated) storebought envelopes. I prefer they match the writing paper, but this is not a must.

  • A pen - but please NO commercial/advertising ones, unless your partners profile states otherwise.

  • 2 storebought Postcards, not written on, so your partner can use them. Also, no adverts/commercials.

  • 10 stickers - this is minimum, ofcourse you are free to add more. The stickers have to be bigger than a eurocent coin/pennie/nickle. You can either choose a stickersheet, or 10 loose stickers.

  • A wrapped teabag for your partner to enjoy during the letter-writing.

All these are senders choice, but hearts come from checking profiles, so feel free to check your partners preferences!

optional: If you are looking for a new penpal, feel free to write your partner a short letter alongside this swap. It is not a must, but maybe you will even find a new friendship!

Now the requirements:
- Minimum rating 4.98. Must be rated, so no unrated swappers this time.
- I will check profiles thoroughly and ban if I feel any doubts.
- No unexplained 1's or 3's over the past 3 months, again - I will check and contact you about it.
- I will angel this if needed, but I expect no flakers.

Please send your swap out on time, and don't forget to rate your partner when you received their swap. Also: Remember to include your name and the name of the swap.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask!

Happy swapping!

I want to join this swap, but I'm unsure about paper size? I have a lot of stationery, but I'm not sure that any of it is exactly A4/A5. I looked up what the sizes of these papers are, but I guess I'm still confused. Do they have to be exactly these sizes?

@setwhatoff Sorry, I used the A-sizes because I'm from Europe - but I tried to figure out the US sizes, and I think the big sheets should be around 8.5x11 inch (can be a bit bigger or smaller), and the small ones around 5.5x8.5 inch. I just wanted to give an indication with A4 and A5, that there should be 2 big sheets and 2 small sheets included - where the small sheets should be half the size of the big ones. Hope you will join! :)

I would dearly love to join this swap but because I'm new, I can't :-((

It's okay I sussed out why, doh!

I am hoping my partner won't mind the fact that I cannot buy A4 writing paper anywhere, I can only get plain printer paper in A4 and I am sure she won't like that, so I am sending 2 x 2 A5 sized pieces and pray thats okay :-)

@Jen2108 you can ask your partner - I've heard more people from UK can't find A4 sized paper, I advised to order some online, I did that myself too. I am sure amazon and ebay sell writing paper in A4 size. :)
