Stickers and Silver Linings

As the 38th installment of the “Stickers and...” series, and as most of us are being affected by Covid-19, I thought it might be fun to focus on the silver linings of being in lockdown or social distancing. So we’ll do stickers and a little note about something good or something you’re enjoying about lockdown.

For this swap you will use a note card or a piece of stationery paper.

In the note, you will write 3-4 sentences (or more if you want) about something that you are enjoying now that you’re in lockdown or social distancing. I know this is a terrible time for a lot of people, but that’s all the more reason to look for some positive in all this. So do you have more time for hobbies now? Are you finishing a book you’ve been wanting to read? Do you have more time for baking or cooking? More time with your family? New opportunities? Seeing ways people are doing nice things for others? What is something good about all this covid-craziness?

So...in with your note, you’ll need to tuck in a sheet of stickers. The sticker rules are the same as usual. A full sheet of stickers, not cut up. Nice, new stickers only. No reward, kiddie (Dora, Frozen, etc), or alphabet stickers, unless your partner specifically requests those in their profile. If the sticker sheets are very small (4”x4” or smaller) then send 2 sheets. Stickers should be dime sized or bigger. Stickers are sender’s choice. So you cannot rate down if you don’t like the stickers your partner sent. If they don’t float your boat, you can always pass them on in the next round. Please do not cut sticker sheets in half - make sure you use an envelope big enough for your sheet of stickers. If you have a really big sticker sheet that’s awesome, you can check with your partner to see if they mind receiving a cut sheet.

Remember, with the corona virus affecting postal workers all over the globe, many mail systems are running extremely slow, often taking more than twice as long as usual (if not more), so be patient as you wait for your swap to arrive. Do not rate down for something that is out of your partners control. Be kind. 🙂

Rating: if your partner sends a little note with at least 3 to 4 sentences about a silver lining to the covid shutdown where they are, and included and a sheet (or two) of stickers that meet the requirements, then you must rate them as a 5. If you really like the stickers, or the message, then a heart is up to you.

Newbies can join this swap with a well filled out profile, established swappers should have at least a 4.9 and no unexplained/unresolved 1’s or 3’s. If you want to participate, but are not sure you can, feel free to check with me. I will be checking participants and reserve the right to ban anyone I don’t feel confident will complete the swap. And of course, I will angel if need be.
