Some helpful hints/tips to get started:

1. PM your partner to get your swap going. Please do this right away at the beginning of the month. 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. It does not have to arrive by the end of the month, it just should be mailed by the last day of the month.
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 OCTOBER here in this thread (and in the gallery) so we can oooh and ahhhh over your creations!

Have FUN!!!!

***Please feel free to suggest 1 or 2 theme ideas for November's swap here in this thread!
We'll vote on themes mid month and then sign ups for Nov's swap will come near the end of Oct. See the timeline post here.

 

I think (am hoping!!!) everyone knows how this works by now - so I'm stepping away from the private PMs with partner assignments. If you sign up for a monthly swap - you need to check the Hybrid forum at the beginning of that month for your partner assignment.

Please, please get in touch with your partners ASAP to establish that you are exchanging with each other, send your addresses, and then discuss anything else you would like to discuss with each other.

 

Bump - did you all see this????

 

What she said!!! Let us know if you have a theme or two in mind for Nov!

 

They certainly are great ideas for Nov, I totally agree, but these two are what Michele already said - did you want to add any others? We just have the two suggestions so far.

I can't play in Nov - so I'll pass on suggesting themes. But we could use a few more suggestions everyone before the Vote gets posted in the next day or two.

 

Love them!

We have:
Music Lyrics & Songs
Thankful
Nov 3rd Housewife Day
Pie/Baking
Vintage Collage
Topaz : Nov's Color

We can add a few more if you guys want or leave as is and do a poll with fewer choices. I'll give it until late tomorrow and then set up the poll for you all.
