SWL - Getting to Know You (With a Twist)

For this swap, you’ll be getting to know other group members through a penpal survey/letter. You’ll have one partner but you’ll print or write out the questions below (handwrite your answers, please) The twist is this: You're going to send your responses to your partner, and your partner's going to send their answers back to you! Please be sure to answer with more than one word answers – your partner really wants to get to know you! Please be sure to include your name & address somewhere on the INSIDE of the envelope so that, even if your partner throws away the envelope, they'll still have your address to send their responses to. Hopefully this makes sense, but if not, feel free to ask questions and I’ll try to explain it more clearly! If there’s enough interest, maybe we can make this swap a series and get to know all of our awesome members a bit better! If you'd like to be penpals with your swap partner, be sure to let them know that!

When returning your responses, please be sure to have a relatively quick turnaround and send them quickly (no more than 2 weeks). The return of the responses will be on the honor system, but please be sure to send your answers back to your partner - don't flake. Sending a flat surprise back with your answers is not required, but if you want to, that's awesome!

Partners can feel free to include a flat surprise if they wish (postcard, nice paper scraps, stickers, etc). It’s not required but is always nice to receive. Get creative with the envelope to make it extra special for your partner – again, not required but definitely encouraged! As with all of our “Sealed with Love” swaps, put your heart into it and really make something that your partner will enjoy receiving. This is meant to be a flat swap so it’s not super expensive to send (especially since you’ll technically have to send twice) but with a bit of creativity, it can still be something special!

Please ask if you have any questions! Happy swapping!
