WIYM: Happy Flat Mail January 2018 USA

Hello everyone! Lou has decided to take a well earned break from hosting these swaps, and has allowed me to host in her stead. The swaps will remain mostly unchanged, but please do read through the description in its entirety for a few updates before signing up.

TEN partners to celebrate the month of JANUARY! International and US version -- this is the USA version please remember to add USA to the swap title on your happy mail since some people participate in both versions!

Mail can be in whatever form sender chooses -- letter, packet, poster, whatever you choose -- but please do not just send a postcard with the name of the swap - that does NOT cut it

Send happy mail that is FUN for your partners to receive

This is NOT a postcard swap!

Throughout the year many holidays are celebrated, if you prefer not to receive holiday themed happy mail please post in the swap comments, each month and please check comments before sending out holiday themed happy mail to make sure your partner has not posted a request to NOT receive any.

FURTHER INFO/IDEAS:

Flat mail, so shouldn't be expensive to mail (like packages can be!). If you join, you'll typically have 10 partners (if at least 11 join the swap).

Happy mail outside -

-- pretty-up the envelope with postage stamps, colored pen address, stickers, doodles, Washi, etc

Happy mail inside -

The goal is to make your partner's day!

-- include things inside that are fun to receive - maybe a letter, along with things that your partner would like: such as Washi tape samples, stickers, blank postcards, stationery, notecards, comics from newspaper or printed off internet, photos you've taken, ephemera if your partner likes that (random things, etc). Send things that you'd be happy to get, that's a good thing to keep in mind. PLEASE - do not send random scraps of paper unless it is very clear from your partner's profile that such things would be welcome - err on the side of caution

You don't need to send the same thing to all your partners, and it's a fun way to look through the things you have and share!

Must be a WIYM member in good standing

You do NOT have to send identical swaps to each of your partners

Note: If less than 11 join, you may have less than 10 partners, but will have no more than 10 partners, no matter how many join

Please mail within the time provided - you will have 3 weeks
