Are the decorated envelopes supposed to be inside of the original envelope you mail?

A123987 04/14/2011 #

No, you find an envelope, address it and around the address decorate it with stickers or drawings.

Can you rate down if someone puts something in the envelope and thus it doesn't meet the posted swap requirements? :^)

A123987 04/15/2011 #

Yes You can.

I think that is a little callous camelsamba. I mean, what if they want to leave you a nice note or send a little gift? The fact there is a smiley face after your comment seems like you would take joy from rating someone down for actually doing something beyond what is required. Do you go around looking for loopholes in swaps so you can rate people down if they don't follow it to a T?

I'm with BambooPanda13 on this one. It does seem a little mean spirited.

@129Ryan1803 Does the size of the envelope matter?

A123987 04/16/2011 #

@Nandin No, the size of the envelope does not matter, but don't have one too big or or one too small, DL/C5 type of envelopes I think would be best.

@BambooPanda13 Thanks for your post, I understand your point of view, but putting something inside this type of swap would spoil it.I took part in swaps like this, I got one from Malaysia but they placed a booklet inside, considering I'm no good at opening envelopes, I keep meaning to buy a letter opener, well my point being that it spoiled the swap for me, lucky I was able to take it up and I still have a beautiful envelope from Malaysia :-). P.S - I've deleted your double post.
