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.
