Outgoing Mail: Snail Mail Swap

Posted on February 11, 2015 by Jessica

snail mail swap

The gal who I sent a Creative Exchange package to back in October started her own swap this year – a swap for those who love snail mail! Here’s what I sent to my match.

Fake stamps, labels, stickers…

Postcards, stickers, labels, tags…

An intro letter, my pen pal zine, a pack of scrap paper, a pack of mini-envelopes…

I love doing this kind of thing! It was so much fun to put together. And anything that inspires someone to get into letter writing is my game!

    You have picked some really lovely things to swap and packaged them so beautifully. I am sure your swap partner will be delighted with it all (I would be!). This is the first time I am visiting your blog and I am so glad I found it! I will definitely be following it from now on!
