Description:

For this swap you will decorator your partners envelope with their choice of fairytale and include a little surprise inside.

In the comment box below, everyone should list at least 2 or 3 of their favorite fairytales they would like to see their envelope decorated with. If you feel it is a lesser known, please provide a link for said story.

☞ Create an envelope no smaller than 5x6", pick one of your partners fairytales and draw/stamp/stencil your interpretation for them. Lining your envelope is not necessary but it is nice (lining doesn't have to be drawn on, of course.) You do not have to decorate the back of the envelope, but again, it is nice.

☞ Please cover the front of your envelope with your design, leaving a little room or incorporating your partners address into it. (I like to write my return address and swap information on the back of the envelope to maximize design.)

☞ Inside your envelope please include one (flat) profile based surprise and a note. I like tea for instance, so my partner could send me one tea bag and a little hello.

✖ No sticker slapping and don't just print something off the internet.

✖ Do not just do a tiny doodle and throw it in the mail.

Newcomers with well filled out profiles allowed. No unexplained 1s or 3s in the last few months. Please do not join if you don't intend to spend time on your envelope.Thank you.
