USA Big Fat Stuffed Envelope Swap #14

This is such a neat swap! I am so excited to put this one together and to see what I get! Thanks! :)

if you go to the postal service web site (usps.com) you can get flat rate bubble envies for free, stuff them as full as you want (as long as it still closes) and it's only $5.30 to mail. sometimes a small envie that's too heavy can weigh more than that.

@carogal You're welcome. @Mamabemus That's a very good tip. Thank you.

I collect menus and unused hamberger wrappers for stationary if I were to mail some how many is the limit and is it okay to mail my partner these type items ty

No, that would not be acceptable for this swap...it would fall under the please do not send your trash...like candy wrappers,.... hamburger wrappers,etc. ;) Thanks for asking though.
I am a huge fan of recycling and have a group dedicated to making crafts from reducing, reusing and repurposing items. You can check us out......under groups.....Crafty Recyclers.

This is probably a very silly question, but it's my very first swap so I'm a little iffy on how things work. Do we choose our partner or are they assigned?

RachiiChu they will be automatically assigned to you. Once the Swap has pasted its sign up date you will be able to look on the right hand side of your screen and view the partner you have been given. From there you will be able to click their screen name to end up on their profile page if you needed ideas on what to send (even if this is not a profile swap it doesn't hurt to send something you know they like). If you have any questions feel free to ask me anytime. I have been a long time stalker and finally signed up myself.

Thank you!

Anytime ^-^

Thanks Lunia. And RachiiChu, one of the very first things you should do is check out the FAQs and New User Info pages in the Help section. They are fantatsic and really do a good job explaining the swapping process. Welcome to Swap-bot.

I am so excited about this swap. I am looking forward to swapping. I am adding things to my package every chance I get.

I can't wait to see who I'm matched with :) I'm ready to stuff an envelope!

These swaps are so fun! I started mine today and will add more every day until its full! Well I always look at my partners profile for surprise ideas. Also do I dare say this but IF you need an angel or two I have lots of great stuff to share. Happy swappin'! Thanks you for hosting Angela.

Thanks BusyB.

This is one of my favorite swaps. I always check my partner's profile because I love to spoil my partner :)

I'm so excited to do this one again! I had a great time last time & I loved everything my partner sent. Already putting my stuff together. ^.^

I'm a newbie... this will be one of my very first swaps. I'm being "coached" by a long-time swap-bot friend, and am truly looking forward to the fun stuff I will be trading! I'm already collecting tid-bits for yet-to-be-assigned partner! >

I can't wait!!! I'm super excited!!! :D This is my first trade and I just cant wait to send off my swap!!!

I'm glad to see so many other newbies...this will be my second swap on swap-bot: my first being a fat quarter fabric swap, although I've participated in and have been a swap hostess on another site for years. My question is this: should we stick with the legal sized envelopes or just go with the flat rate envelope or mini box - the box would hold about the same as the legal envelope but I could cram a lot more in the flat rate envelope for the same cost... =)

Using the flat rate envelope can be a cost effective way to mail items, especially if they are heavier items, but all that is required is the 4 x 9 envie, many people choose to use the 6x9 or flat rate envelope.

I need to send out my package tomorrow, Monday, the 19th. I've never done a swap where the partners weren't assigned. I understand if the swap has assigned partners the day after the deadline is the day you receive your partner's address. How do I know who to send my package to?

A host has 7 days to assign partners. Today is the first day partners can be assigned for this swap, (And they will be) but, in general, a host has 7 days to do it. A good host will review EVERY profile of everyone who has signed up and that takes awhile. ;) You can then find the partner info by clicking on the who do I send to link, off the swap in your dashboard. If you still need help, after partners have been assigned, just PM and I'll help you find the information. Take Care and Welcome to Swap-bot. Also-reading the help section is a must for new swappers-it covers so much information!

For all the new swappers, there are several groups that you can join that are specifically to help newbies. Also, you can always post in the forums if you have questions. And of course,you can always ask the hostess of the swap,most are always eager to help,as evidenced by our wonderful hostess in this swap!

Wolfeagle,thanks for hosting this. These are my favorite type of swaps!

You're welcome.

Right now we still have some people that need to send their envelopes. Please do so ASAP.
