Description:

This is the Monday Mailer swap for May 2019.

The idea is simple: you'll have one partner, and every Monday, you mail out an envelope/packet to her. This is a USA only swap to help ensure mailings arrive within a week.

At the end of the swap, you should have received four mailings, and possibly made a new friend. I can testify to that! One of my dearest friends is a swapper I was paired with more than 10 years ago in a Monday Morning Mailer swap on another, now defunct, swap site.

Every Monday you will mail your partner an envelope or small package that contains something to read, something to do or try and a short note on the week's topic. The themes are broad and can be interpreted in any way. (If you'd like, your something to read and something to do can be related to the week's topic.)

(NOTE: I'll fill in themes in April. Suggest some below!)

Monday, May 6: An introductory note or letter. Theme: Beauty

Monday, May 13: Theme - Grace

Monday, May 20: Theme - Nature

Monday, May 27: Theme - Memorials

Feel free to respond to your partner. Maybe a long-term friendship will indeed develop.

Examples of something to read: a letter, an article, a short story or a book, a zine, a devotion, etc.

Examples of something to do or try include, but are not limited to: craft kits (for cards, ATCs, dotees, etc), crossword, sudoko or other puzzles, a Bible quiz or study, recipes, a profile-related project or activity, a mix CD to listen to, etc.

Examples of surprises: bookmarks, postcards, art made by you, profile surprises (check your partner's profile for suggestions), anything related to faith or Christianity, etc.

Rate your partner after receiving the fourth envelope/package.

Thank you to all who have participated in this series so far!

The 2019 schedule will be January, March, May, July, September, November.

USA swappers. Group membership. Snail mail.

You said to suggest themes.

Drink up! coffee, like a k cup or tea bags. Water add ins,

Pets or animals, or birds. Themes of animal nature.

He is risen! I am not into Easter Bunnies, or Easter eggs, but do like Easter Lilies.

Flowers.

Artistic 03/25/2019 #

I've filled in three of the four themes. Thanks @AZmom875 I've included Nature and Beauty (either could be interpreted with flowers). Fourth theme TK.

Artistic 03/25/2019 #

Whoops. TK means "to come." It's publishing shorthand from the days when newspapers weren't produced by computer programs.

Oh, should we post here when we send/receive? I sent the first out on Monday and received the first today :)

24Donna 05/10/2019 #

I don’t think you have to, it just helps your partner know you’ve received and sent.

AZmom875 05/12/2019 #

BTW< Donna, according to the tracking you will get a media Mail box Monday. For GRACE and Nature weeks to read. Notes are not allowed on media mail.

Swappers: I've had a suggestion to change the next MM from Monday to another day. What day would work best for you?

24Donna 05/28/2019 #

I’m good with any day! Whatever works for everyone else is good for me!

Tigerlilyknotwise 05/28/2019 #

Well, I wasn't ahead of the game like you Saturday senders...last one went out today. Tracking 9505513038229148210367

AZmom875 05/28/2019 #

I have no preference.

Tigerlilyknotwise 05/29/2019 #

Well, a mid-week day would be more ideal for me, but I'd hate to ruin your alluring alliteration...!

AZmom875 05/31/2019 #

Tuesday Treats. Wonderful Wednesdays, Thankful Thursdays, thoughtful Thursdays.

NOT FRIDAY, that day seems to end sometimes before you can get things mailed

AZmom875 05/31/2019 #

@24donna So my media mail package should arrive today, and the Priority arrived yesterday. I hope the two together makes sense.

AZmom875 05/31/2019 #

No, just read this again. They expected my media mail to arrive today but it is late, so not sure when it might arrive.
