Lilypad Letters Swap {JULY 2018} | Partner Assignments!!!

Yay! Partner assignments for the Lilypad Letters swap for July are here!

I tried to pair based on first choice for theme ... and making sure everyone had a different partner this time to swap with!

Coffee/Tea Theme
@Sokee and @ArmyGrl

Books/Reading
@melidy and @Nemla
@londoncuppa and @lmccandless
@michele hillam and @jang

Photography/Cameras
@jenn mccabe and @Rikki
@Kat and @Becca Bonneville
@KatrinaHunt13 and @EHStudios


Please remember: send a full trading card sized/9 pocket page protector with each pocket filled (& include a letter) to your partner. See my Pinterest Board for ideas regarding what you should be sending. The original post with full details is HERE.

Some helpful hints/tips to get started:

1. PM your partner to get your swap going. From there you can exchange emails or continue to exchange info via the PM/Conversation feature through the Lilypad site.
2. Only share your personal info/address via PM/email.
3. Follow your assigned theme.
4. Regardless of what theme you signed up for, you can ask a few basic questions to find out what your partner likes. For example: flavors they like or don’t like or favorite colors. Anything they are obsessed with. It’s up to you. But sometimes this helps if you are sending little things like tea, etc.
5. Be mindful of how much bulk/stuff you add. You can stuff to your heart’s content, but the bulk will add to the cost of shipping. Perhaps you and your partner can discuss if you prefer to “stuff” or go lighter/thinner?
6. You have until the end of the month to get your letter in the mail to your partner.
7. Please remember to take a photo before you send your letter out, but wait until you hear back from your partner (that they received it) to post the photo so you don’t spoil their Happy Mail surprise!
8. Remember to use at least 75% TLP if using digi supplies.
9. When you receive your letter, PM/email your partner to confirm you received it.
10. Share what you made for JULY here in this thread (and in the gallery) so we can oooh and ahhhh over your creations!

***Please feel free to suggest ONE idea for August's theme and then we can vote for the top 2 or 3 theme choices for August. We can recycle theme ideas too!

A sign up for August's swap will come mid-month!

 

Sorry girls - I did indeed have you two on the list as a pair but forgot to list it. I was just writing the convo to you both now though! @KatrinaHunt13 and @EHStudios

 

If you are new this ... it can indeed be confusing! Please ask if you have any questions at all. Your cards though Barbara .... swoon! I would have fell off my chair to have rec'd those! Amazing! I bet your partner loved them!

 

You will create something beautiful as always Elisa!

Any more ideas for august themes ladies? Let me know what you want on your Poll for August Themes.

 

I'm throwing in Nom Nom Nom (food!)

I have a few suggestions that did not make it onto the July voting poll, but they are from @DisneyMom and since she needs to break for July/Aug, I don't want to use her ideas until she comes back to the swap. So I'll put those aside. So far we have:

Things we do to treat ourselves
Aug Birthstone Color : Peridot
Aug Birthstone Symbology : Strength
Friendship/Internet Friends/Girlfriends
Into the Woods
Into the Garden
Beach/Water
Nom Nom Nom (food)

We can include 2 more for a total of 10. Should we grab some of the top choices from the last poll? Or do you guys have other ideas?
Music/Songs
Movies/TV shows

Anything else you want to see?
