Patriotic Mail Art + Surprise

WHAT: Create a [mail art](http://pinterest.com/search/boards/?q=mail art) envelope to send your partner for July 4th, along with a patriotic-themed surprise inside.

• Handmade or purchased envelope decorated by you. Minimum 4" x 6" size—but no square or clasp envies as they may incur postage due on the other end. Use markers, paper, glitter, washi tape, etc. No simple sticker slapping.

• Enclose 1 new/unused patriotic-themed surprise inspired by your partner’s profile--purchased or handcrafted ok. Think craft supply, handmade stationery, fabric, tags, baking items, decor, office supply, RED/WHITE/BLUE, etc. Check your partner’s profile to see what kinds of things they like.

As usual, send something you’d be proud to deliver in person!

FYI: I review profiles and will ban as necessary to help ensure a safe, fun swap. This includes checking for profile drama and group standards, among other things. Hope it doesn’t happen, but if you're rating your partner a 3 or 1 it's common courtesy to communicate with them first. I can angel if you do rate them a 1 (just let me know).

REMEMBER

• Include a note to identify the swap and your Swap-bot ID.
• Pack to protect, and add enough postage to get it there.
• Send on time.
• Rate promptly and fairly.
• Have fun!
