Description:
USA ONLY, sorry! You may start an international one, but let me know if you do. How many things can you fit in a 6x9 envelope? Think beyond paper & stickers (though they are fine!). All you have to do is stuff a letter size envelope with goodies. That's it! Oh & mail it too... The envelope must be @ least 2 cm thick. Ideas of things you can include: memo sheets, stickers (whole, flake, or cutout), keychain, trinket, small figurine, letter papers, beads, postcards, small erasers, sticky notes, mini envies, etc! You do not have to limit only to stationery! There are some other cool ideas as well. Use packing tape to seal up the edges. That prevents the envie from tearing. USA ONLY. For swappers with a rating of 4.7 or higher with no more than 1 no send. Newbies welcome if they have a full profile & message me first. Have a question or concern? Let me know :D

Your swap is going to need more than 2-3 stamps. You might want to check the USPS postage calculator. Maximum thickness for letters is 1/4 inch (well under 2 cm), so a 2 cm envelope must be mailed as a large envelope or as a package if it is at all lumpy.

I have had both recieving and sending problems with envelopes ripping and contents falling out of regular envelopes. I think a small size padded envelope or bubble pack would be better for shipping keychains,not flat items,etc??

Darn, I will update this to 1 partner, & send it with a 6x9 envie.

helloitsme: You may send in a bubble wrapped package & request your partner to do the same, but I , myself, like to keep the feeling of thick paperness... I like squeezing the envelope! :P

When it comes to envelopes tearing and such.. that's happened to me too. What I do is I "reinforce" the edges by applying clear packing tape before putting anything in. Sometimes I use deco tape to make it pretty while reinforcing it.

xxphoenixhavokxx - that's a good idea! that way the envelope won't tear, & i still get my thick paperness feeling :)

I'd be very VERY happy if my package includes some kawaii things!!!

I'd prefer NOT to receive erasers, beads, small figurines, etc. Thanks. :)
