Writing IS a craft in my opinion - so yes, this IS a type 3 swap --

This is the third of a continuing series of swaps that will feature various USA issued postage stamps, along with a themed note tied to the featured stamp.

For this swap of the series, write your one partner a note about experience(s) you've had with a postal worker, if you'd like to include anything else for your partner - such as a flat surprise, whether postal-themed or not - that's up to you!

Send a letter or a note on a notecard inside an envelope, no postcards (although you might include a blank one as a flat surprise).

Swap closes at end of July and you'll have all of August to write your note ... consider looking at your partner's profile to see if you have common interests you might write about, too.

Please feel free to browse the Smithsonian's National Postal Museum website [postalmuseum.si.edu] -- lots of interesting things to see there!
