Description:
This will be my second swap so I am new at this Hosting thing, & welcome any suggestions if I missed something. I love the Pocket Letter craze & I love Halloween. So for this swap you use a 9 pocket trading card sleeve/ protector, & decorate all 9 pockets with Halloween items that have a vintage theme to them. Such as Graphic 45 or My Minds Eye, these companies have cute paper lines just to give you an idea where I was getting the vintage vibe from, lol. Let;s also include one small goodie in each pocket, such as buttons, washi sample,paper,sticker, etc.So that makes 8 total the 9th will be your letter. Hope that helps.:) Please contain the name of the swap, and your name along with hand written note to your partner, & at least one small goodie in the pockets. If you need ideas go to google, or pintrest they have some great ideas there. Senders choice. I'd like to give Newbies a chance, I will check out profiles so no recent unexplained 1's or 3's will be allowed, and I will angel if necessary, but keeping in mind that may take me awhile ,we all know how long they take to make. That being said I would like to keep this simple, if your real picky this may not be for you. The idea here is let's have fun. Thank you If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.

Do you mean 1 small goody in EACH pocket? Or one for the whole PL?

I usually like to include at least 1. plus the letter & quote pocket.

I've found vintage Halloween printables on Pinterest. Are those OK?

tlemon4 06/ 3/2015 #

I would say ok as long as their good copies. I know some people do not like them, I'm not that picky. Maybe just use your discretion.

Thanks for answering, but I need to know what is required; I'd rather not do or receive the wrong thing. Best to have clear directions.

So just 1 goody required, total?

tlemon4 06/ 4/2015 #

Well I really didn't want to put a # on the goodies per say in the swap as a requirement, most people do anyways. So lets do 1 per pocket, that could be a sticker, washi sample,button, etc.

My experience with pocket letters is 1 item in each of 8 of the pockets and the 9 th should have a note! Just received some vintage Halloween collage sheets from alpha stamps! Can't wait to play!

mkangak 08/11/2015 #

These are so much fun to make! :)

tlemon4 08/12/2015 #

Oh I love alpha stamps mkangak I agree on the pockets with you to :) Thanks for joining my swap

One more question: When we remove all the goodies out of the PL, the pockets should still be totally decorated, right? Sometimes people just put a tea bag in the pocket and that's it, so when you take it out (to drink), you have an empty pocket. :(

mkangak 08/30/2015 #

They should be decorated!:)

Yes Tammy alpha stamps is very cool!
