39 cent swap (US only)

What an interesting idea! I can think of a couple of small things that would fit in a one ounce envelope. I'm going to go searching before I sign up just to make sure I can send something besides a letter! How about recipes?

Recipes are great! Any thing goes as long as it is under an ounce and is no thicker then 1/4 of an inch.

I have my envelopes ready to mail. When will the partner's names be posted so I can mail???

babysingsing, ashley, baglady, ninjaprincess and Josie84770:

I have sent out all of your envelopes.

And I'm going to post this on the 18th but I may as well say it now:

IF YOU GET ANYTHING THAT HAS POSTAGE MORE THEN 39 CENTS THEN RATE THAT SWAPPER WITH A ZERO! The only rule of this swap is to mail something that is cost exactly 39 cents to mail.

brittercat, creativity, kwood4304, heidec and gck, your envelopes are on thier way from Michigan!

Michele in california..... I recieved your swap envelope yesterday (fri) I was to tired to let you know)... Thanks a lot! Connie

Ainsmar, I read your last post - pretty harsh to give someone a zero for being more generous - even though it was not exactly what was asked for. They may not have had a scale and they tucked an extra sheet in of something special. Seems it would be better not to rate or to give them the 3 - or at least not the heart, even if they sent something truly wonderful. I know you are the swap coordinator, but if a swapper that actually mailed something got a zero, it might put them off the whole swapping experience, or make them ineligible to play in a really neat swap that they want to be part of. What do you think?

Yesterday was such a great mail day! I received 4 packages, 3 from .39 cent swap! I received some cool paper, a pizza recipe and an ATC from Sparklebluefrenzy. I recevied a blank note card, some stationary and matching envelope and some recipe cards from baglady and I received and some much needed page flags from shopandbid!

wow! I tend to agree with josie84770 on the rating issue. I would be one who would worry about this. I sent an "envelope" that I know would only cost one stamp. Unfortuanley, the last "envie" that I attempted to mail.... I ran out of envelopes and made one myself out of cardstock and was afriad that may have "tipped the scale" and put 2 stamps on it to be sure. I had thought better be safe than sorry - and didnt want to chance my recipiant either not getting it, or getting it late due to a return for more postage.
I agree, a zero is pretty harsh. I think if the minimum requirement was met, then any extra should be condsidered a bonus, not a bust.

theartofmegann- got your envie today. It was great. Thankyou

Creativity - I just received your swap in the mail today. I love the quilt squares (and you obviously read that I love green). Thanks for making it so personalized.

Okay change in plan with the ratings.

If you got anything with postage more then 39 cents then you are to give that person a three. Obviously you can still give out hearts and such.

JWJW2 I am so glad you liked the quilt squares and yes I did read your profile! I think it is more fun that way!

OK ive had it with this swap(lol) ALL of my envies but one came back with postage due. I even went to the post office to send them. I'm gonna redo them and get them back out tomorrow. Unless I pull my hair out before then.

Thank you Mikkary, shopandbid, gatorsmom, sparklebluefaery, & szreader for the great envelopes! And nothing over $.39, I am impressed!

Thanks for the zine! Ainsmar

I received a fantastic swap envelope from gck, I had left her rating of a 1 for not sending. However the envelope was sent before the price increase and the post office held it. I have since changed her rating but I feel really rotten for having judged her unfairly! Connie
