CPG International~ Christmas Countdown Swap #1

We all are aware that mail is running late at this time! PLEASE allow extra time to receive your swaps! Contact me before rating a 1 or a 3 to your partner!

This was a swap I loved in a now closed group. I have participated and hosted this several times and it is really a lot of fun! You'll end up with a basket / clothesline filled with envelopes in December! I loved doing this swap! This is completely copied from the one originally hosted by @oblivionspin She has given me permission to copy and host this swap.

"I'm sure we've all seen these swaps floating around. If you have been eyeing them but were worried about safe swapping, here's a swap for you.

You will have 5 partners for this swap.

To each partner, send an envelope with some sort of flat goody inside.

The envelope is actually the wrapping paper so it needs to be decorated at least a little and your username and swap info must be on the outside. Flat decorations think: stamping, inking, stenciling, stickers and washi!

The envelope and goody inside can be loosely profile based, winter themed or Christmas themed. Basically, if you want to work ahead you need to go festive. Nothing religious unless you're sure your partner would like it.

Examples of acceptable goodies:

sticker sheet, a handful of sticker flakes, washi samples, envelope seals, address labels, unused or interesting used postage, ATCs, bookmarks, postcards, hot beverage packet (if partner drinks them), seasonal cardstock, small profile based surprise, swap cards, wintery ephemera, neat photographs, images neatly cut for use in collages, blank notecard with envelope, hand cut envelopes (regular or atc sized), anything else along those veins. We're a pretty cozy group, if you think something you want to send would be nice, it probably is.

Please RATE when you GET your swap. You do not need to open them to rate! But we are all far too scatterbrained to wait until December to rate ;)

There will be a total of 5 of these swaps. Each one with 5 partners. If you join all the swaps you will end up with enough envelopes to open one everyday from the 1st of December until Christmas."

There is a 6th swap for a flat goodie worth about $5. This is swap #1 and you can absolutely start preparing your envelopes now. Please, DO NOT send junk. Everything should be in new condition. This is a GIFT swap albeit an inexpensive one.

PM me with any questions.

Edit: Pls put your swapbot ID and this swap name on the outside of the envie. If you are on Instagram, please post a pic and use the hashtag #cpgswap.
