Description:

We've all received unwanted stickers in our past swaps, now insteadof feeling guilty about throwing away a perfectly good (yet ugly) sticker, let's put them to use. Decorate an envelope with at least 15 stickers that you think are ugly/unwanted/ "crappy"/ in bad taste (my personal dislikes are reward/ teacher/ motivational/ holiday)

"TINY" stickers are allwed, but please use more than 10 if all you are using is tiny stickers! The point is for the envelope to be well decorated!

Inside the envelope, you MUST include at least 10 stickers that your partnerwould probably like, based on their profile likes and dislikes (ex: dont send them cat stickers if their profile says they are afraid of cats) I will angel if necessary.

You have this listed as an electronic swap. You might want to update that :)

Heeeheee thanks for pointing out I had it as type 1. Updated :)

You know what question I have always had? When you send international, and you have to send something that you need a customs sticker for, how do you keep your mail art from being ruined? Are people just not putting customs stickers on things small like stickers? That's kind of why I don't like international swaps when you decorate the envelope. But I'm watching because I love this swap.

@lettergirl I hear your frustration! It's taken me a while, but I've finally learned to leave some blank space to accommodate the dimensions of the customs sticker... particularly with "package swaps". With a swap like this, because it is flat, it could be mailed internationally from here (Canada) as letter mail, which does not require a customs form. I hope this is helpful!

I ship from the USA and for flat mail swaps like this I usually put 3 postage stamps on it (should be more than enough).
