SWL ~ blind surprise ABC envelopes.

I suck at blind surprise swaps. I'm admitting that now. And the reason why I suck is because I usually cheat. :X Which is why I can't do them and why I don't host them! In every swap I send I love looking at my partners profile and finding something I have that I know they will love. So a blind surprise swap for me is one of the hardest things to do, to resist looking at their profile and putting a swap together based on their likes... I can't resist!!!!!!!!!!

This time, we HAVE to resist! No if's, no buts. If I can do it, so can you! Out of the comfort zone for our september/october themed month!

• You will have 3 partners.

• BEFORE partners are assigned, yes BEFORE!! partners are assigned you will be putting together 3 separate envelopes/swaps, 1 for each partner.

• In each envelope, include a minimum of 10 paper, stationery, ephemera goodies. Anything from book pages, stickers, embellishments, used stamps, cut outs, envelopes, letter sets, washi tape, smash book things, every-day ephemera, vintage ephemera... you get the picture.

• Include a note (it shouldn't have your partners name on it because you don't know who you are sending this swap too, yet!!!) inside with your name/swap name & seal it up.

• Decorate/mail art it if you wish, but in some way you must draw, write, stick; whatever medium you want; the letter "A" "B" or "C" on each envelope.

• When partners are assigned, you will write your first partners address on swap A, second partners address on swap B, and third partners address on swap C.

Please don't join this swap if you are picky and are into specific things or hard to please. You will be very lucky to get something you like if this is so. If you are a general paper/ephemera collector/addict then this is a bit of fun. You might open an envelope full of things you love, or things you wouldn't normally receive; variety is good!!! Who knows, maybe we'll find something new to collect!!

If you don't like everything you receive then you still have to rate a 5. Please don't be disheartened if you don't get that "heart" this isn't a profile based swap.

You can start now, you don't have to wait for partners to be assigned.

Let's see what sort of things we receive.

Happy swapping!
