teabag & letter

Can the letter be written on a notecard or greetings card?

its up to you can be on notelet or card or fancy paper.

just a letter with hi and stuff or should it be decorated or inclode some info?

letter saying a little bit about yourself. and how your days been.

sounds interesting! I'll join.

Is it a profile swap or senders choice?

senders choice

sounds like great fun

loves tea very English

Can newbies join? :)

Please contact me before sending!!!!! My address is incorrect! I have to wait until it can be fixed!! Please do not send to my Belgium address!!! Please ask for my address!! x

I already have my partners package ready to go! I'm super excited about this swap :)

this sounds like a fun little swap! i'm excited to send my swap!!

yes they can @wizzer3245

OK then....so what is the teabag for? Should the note card be distressed or aged? Should the teabag be unused?

@Emmapaperclip - Good point! My interpretation is that the teabag is for drinking, although I suppose you could use it to destress stuff later too! Drink, then destress? ;)

@ColoradoKate Depends on how shocking the letter will be :P When in doubt; send 2 tea bags

do I have to write it or can I print it?

do I have to write it left to right? will my reciever know to read it left to right?

can I fill it with dumb-ass questions?

when a comment enters my head should just post it as a comment automatically?

also, should I write on white paper or can I use coloured paper?

lol@ssshauna!

@ssshauna I'm not the host but I think: -writing is more personal, -anyway you want :P as long it's readable -YES, at least, I'd like that -rather put it in one -any type

Okay, I'm new & this is my first swap. I received an email stating this swap would begin soon. My question is, how do I know who I'm sending to?? Thanks!

You get a swap partner given to you and at the moment there has not been a assigned partners yet.

sorry had to drop out. just realised that my teabag will be nabbed by customs. australia has strict policies about these things. poo.

Oh I love tea and letter, this is perfect... im joining in... =)

Thanks Allyb!

Is there only going to be 1 partner per person for this swap? Can you sign up for more than that?

Since there are over 130 people would anyone consider sending to 2 partners?? I would love to and then I'd get 2 back as well! Just a thought! Can't wait to meet my partner! ;)

Hey! im new to this so bear with me, was just wondering: does the swap-bot system automatically give you a partner or do you have to find one on the site? if the latter someone add me! lxxxx

May I send 2 teabags, different flavors?

May I send more than 1 teabags, different flavors?

changed it to 3 partners...if your in to palling or snailmail join my cuppa and letter group.

Wow, good thing I checked back. I better get writing. I had my one letter done! Now do I have enough tea bags!! LOl! Just kidding! If your sending my way...I don't like Earl Grey at all! Oh ya or lemon!! ;) see ya soon!

I can't wait to get my partners!!!!! I am not writing until i get my partners, I love to write and all and I want it to be personal instead of some droll letter,lol

Did we get an email or something about the change of the number of partners? I just popped in to get my partners address, I already have the envelope ready since I will be away from home for a while, and purely by chance I saw that there was a change... Just wonder if I missed something? Of course I'll finish the swap anyway!!

@gewalli ~ Yeah an email would have been nice cause I would have dropped the swap. Like you I had my one letter and teabags already ready to go and just popped back in to grab it quickly to find out there was 2 more partners added. Yikes I will have to grab some time tonight hopefully and scribble out two more letters.

@TryshaH81 I am also a little grumpy as this swap was changed at the last second. I also would have dropped it.

When did it go from 1 partner to 3? What if someone didn't have enough teabags? Or didn't have the time would they even be able to drop once partners are assigned? I'll manage to get all the letters out I'm just worried with the amount of people how it's going to work out. Best of luck to everyone :)

I agree that an email would have been nice. But, because a tea bag and a letter is not to complicated I wouldn't have dropped out. I would have liked a little warning as I also had my envelope ready to go minus the little personal touch.

Woah, this caught me by surprise! I am totally new to this website so I thought I'd join in on this wonderful swap with one partner, but now I feel a little scared with three, haha. I will of course go through with it. :)

sorry about that... hope you all enjoy the swap

Oh crud, 3 partners?! Well, that's what I get for not checking in before the deadline to drop. lol Guess I better get to writing again!

Changing the number of partners without telling us, is not cool. Especially when it's international.

hey im sorry about this .changed the partners from 1 to 3 about 5 days ago... people normally check in. ...if anyone has a problem. please let me know.. i changed it as a few people said they like more than one partner.

I have a problem because normally we are sent an email when there is a change, I check into swap- bot regularly , but not to see if the number of partners have changed on a swap. If they are, there is usually an "EDITED" or an email which would be the courteous thing to do.

Well I for one am happy that it changed from 1 to 3, I think that it will be more fun to give and receive this way. I do agree though that this is not the number one priority in life so checking back was just a fluke. If possible an e-mail if things change would be a welcome notification but thanks for hosting this swap and I hope to be involved in many more to come!

The change in number of partners....really not cool. Would have been nice if an email had been sent. I for one would have dropped.

Some warning that it had changed from one to three would have been nice. I for one would have been irritated if i had gotten three international people! Thankfully i got all domestic.

I agree that it was wrong to change the number of swap partners without notifying! Not that I really mind having three (though I am in UK and two out of three partners are across the pond), but I would've liked to be told before!

Ugh. I also really wish we could gotten an email about the change. It stresses me out that now I have to write 3 letters when I thought it was 1. Oh well.

I am looking at postage rates for 2 extra international letters which will be minimum of 3.50 each if I don't go over 3.5 ounces. that is why i only wanted to take a chance of getting 1 international partner.

Great Swap Rea..... 3 partners... are fun, and I received great ratings for them.... thank you for being such a great co-ordinator... Look forward to more like this. thank you thank you

Loved this swap, really excited to be getting THREE different types of tea through my postbox! Admittedly I almost had a heart attack when I saw how much it cost to mail all three international letters (for just ONE teabag a-piece - come on Royal Mail in the UK, sort your life out!) so might just stick to Regional (Europe) for now! x

Your tea and letter swap was very nice. I like having who I send to and who sends to me. That way I can tell if my swappers have sent my stuff. You have been very helpful. I have rated you with a star > which I think is the highest score according to the question.

Thank you. maryannr1742

Also disappointed that there was no notification about the three partners. You can't assume that everyone checks the page.

I have my letters done up and will be mailing them tomorrow.

Mine are going in the mail tomorrow :) I've ticked them as sent.

Just wanted to send out an apology to my swap partners!! I got really sick last Thursday and have been completley down and out since then! Today im finally feeling better, not quite 100% but I can function! So I missed the mail deadline! But they are going out today!!! Again ladies IM really sorry! Ive never been late or flaked on anything!! So be on the lookout now they are on the way!!!

I was a little dismayed to find out I had more partners to send to but got right on it and sent them out...hopefully they enjoy their tea and are not unhappy that I did not send a long letter.

I thought this had always been 3 partners... am just waiting to get rated on mine.

I'm very very sorry I'm sending my letters so late! I missed the deadline because I started my University term, and this two weeks of February were just crazy! It's my first swap, and I want to do right thing, so I'm sending more things in one envelope, hope my partners like them... and again, I'm very very sorry!

I'm still waiting on feedback for one of my swaps. Mine were are in Florida, so I know that they arrived a week ago...as a newb I need people to leave feedback

I am still waiting to get 2 of my swaps :(

I super love this swap. I enjoy that you have to write a note to your partner which I totally enjoy reading... still waiting for my last partner but no biggy... I hope my partners got my package... =)

got 1 of 3... and I suppose that no one of my envelops came, 'cause I haven't fot any rating... thinking of re-sending it after 8th of March..

today I've received the last 2 envelopes :) And also re-sent 3 mine ( as registered letters, i can write their tracking numbers). If it won't come at this time, I dunno what to do...

if anybody needs this angeling for them, just pm me! (one of my partners didn't rate me, but looks like her partners didn't rate her either, going off the 'sent' dates)

I got 2 out of 3, sent a message a few days ago about the other but not heard anything! Hopefully will turn up soon!

Same here ~ Got two of three but nothing from @Chronas plus no reply to PMs I have sent! I rated a 1 :(

whooh, finally I can archive this swap, today the last of my partners got envelope from me ))

I received 2 out of 3 and @shalomsunrise has not been online since February 15, 2011. I have sent a few messages but nothing. My partners have theirs, and rated.
