Description:
Donna @Mimi7 has asked me to continue coordinating this swap on her behalf. ~ ~ ~ PRIVATE: 5x7 Art Journal #10 ~ ~ ~ Each participant will send a journal that’s approximately 5 x 7” in size. NO Spiral bound books. Make sure your name, user name, and address are on or in the journal so it can be returned to you when it is full. When you receive the art journal, you will complete at least one "2-page spread" and no more than three "2-page spreads. You may paint, draw, collage, use mixed media, etc. Sadly due to the random way partners are assigned, you might end up sending a journal back to the original owner, or eventually having the same partners. If you receive your journal back, it is totally up to you if you wish to work a page or two, or just hang on to it until the next round. We will send our journals through the mail with tracking. This will be an ongoing swap. The rating is set at 4.98 If I have forgotten something or you have a question feel free to ask. Most importantly have fun creating art!! ````````````````````````````````````````````````````` If anyone is without a journal, please let @CookieMOMster78 know. Thank you! 💌

In light of the current inflation rate, I’m sharing a little information to help our budget (hopefully):

If no other correspondence is included with the journal, it may be taken into to PO and mailed using the “media mail” rates which is slower but includes tracking.
My profile page has the hyperlink to Pirate Shipping where you can maintain a free account and ship packages world-wide for a discounted rate.
On the USPS website you can order prepaid flat rate boxes/envelopes that are delivered by your postal carrier to you. These usually have a minimum order of Qty.5 per order, but they make a very convenient way to mail USPS Priority Flat Rate from home, without need for a scale or printer! Basically, if it fits, it ships - just like the rest of your outgoing mail does with a postage stamp (except these “postage stamps” are watermarked labels on the package).
You can order free USPS Flat Rate envelopes, separate tracking labels, and the appropriate postage stamps on the USPS website to keep at home as well. The only caveat is that when USPS prices increase you’ll need to affix extra postage stamps beside the one for flat rate shipping and your tracking label.

Hope this helps us all keep sharing happy mail despite inflation.

We don’t have anymore watching this swap, so I’m going to assign partners early. Happy art journalling, y’all! 🎨
