Description:

I am so thinking Spring time as the weather gets colder. So I thought we should do a pocket letter with colorful Butterflies! I love Christmas and all but for the past 2 months it's been the same colors over and over so I wanted to switch it up!

9 pockets of butterflies either make a scene out of all or some of the pockets or decorate each pocket separately. Try to fill at least 5 of the pockets with a goodie and 1 with a letter!

Newbie welcome with a well filled out profile! Please put a piece of paper on the back of the pocket letter as well so we cannot see what and where the goodies are!

Any questions feel free to ask!

I just got hooked on everything Butterflies - this will be a fun swap :-)

Could you define "goodie"?Are you meaning something in addition to a handmade ATC? I am misunderstanding what you mean by putting a piece of paper over "the letter". Won't it have to go into a pocket behind a card? I have participated in page swaps where we fill a nine page plastic made for cards.....the idea there is often to be sure that both sides of your cards look interesting.....but your wording makes me unsure if this is the same....I love butterflies too and am looking forward to this topic.

@donlyn Goodie - stickers, embellishments, extra ATC sized paper, paperclips, etc anything that can fit and would be nice to recieve yourself. The goodies and letter go behind the dectorated ATC does this help? I make a sandwich out of my pockets and stick the items and letter in between the 2 pieces of paper. And yes this is the 9 pocket trading card binder sleeves that will be used to create the pocket letter like all other pocket letters. Please let me know if you have any other questions.

Thanks for explaining, I just got my 9 pocket snowman trade, wow...what a lovely piece of art work.....lots of goodies ( so now I have some ideas about what to add) and I learned there is so much you can do with a nine pocket display. Can't wait to go play with one and butterflies

Hi There, This will be my first swap on Swap-Bot. I am new to Swap-Bot, but not new to swapping. I have done a lot of swaps on other websites and have fulfilled every single one. What I need to know is how do we get our partner. Do we choose someone to swap with or are they assigned to us? I love making and receiving pocket letters. Butterflies are one of my favorite's. @BirkHartCrafts If you view my profile, you can see my Pinterest Page link, where I have uploaded several pictures of my projects including a couple of my PL. Thanks a bunch. Sandy

@SandyLP swap-not randomly assigns partners.

I have been a part of swap-bot for a while but this is my first introduction to pocket letters. Do I understand correctly from reading some of the comments that you make an ATC of the theme (like butterflies) then fill the 9 pocket sheet with other butterfly ideas and goodies? Do the goodies have to do with the theme or maybe items from your partners favorites?
thank you for info on this swap idea.

SandyLP 12/27/2015 #

@peaceandlove Actually you make 1 ATC type card for each pocket (Total of 9) in the pocket letter theme you are signing up for and fill the the back of each pocket with goodies and anything pertaining to butterflies. I hope that helps.

Thank you that does really help clarify things.

Thank you @SandyLP for helping @peaceandlove I am assigning partners now I have put my faith in some of the swappers who have joined please do not flake and come through on all of your swaps. I like to give the benefit of the doubt however it is only given once. Thank you!

Dear BirkHart Crafts/ Butterfly Hostess, I really appreciate your understanding and being so nice in answering questions, when a newbie I was not always treated well by some of the old time co-ordinators...thank you for just being nice and approachable.
