Description:
A second profile swap to get acquainted with one another. This is a big group but only a few seem to join the swaps and/or look at the forum which is an active place. The swap is simple and easy and inexpensive. Read your partner's profile to get to know her. Choose a small item [probably under $5] that you think she will like -- or make something using whatever craft you enjoy. I have to choose "package" or "flat mail" and can't choose both as a description -- so chose "package". But if the item you send is flat it may go in a flat envelope. The point is to send something your partner's profile makes you think she might want. [e.g., if she does a lot of post card swaps, maybe she'd like post cards, if she sews a lot, maybe a fat quarter of fabric or some thread or buttons.] Then write a note referring to something in her profile and telling her a little about yourself. It needs to be several sentences but can be as long as you feel like. Address it and send it off. Perhaps we will do these every couple of months. Since this is a group swap everyone has good ratings and it is international.

Sorry June But anything that does not fit in a letter envie because of postage prices out for me. But sounds fun.

Col -- it can fit in an envelope, depending on what you choose to send. I've edited this to make it clear that it doesn't have to be a package.
