PW ~ Monday Mailer - September

This is the Monday Mailer swap for September 2019.

Like the last round, this one will be a Week of format. That will help the folks who weren't enamored with Monday, and since September begins with a holiday (and ends with fall starting).

The swap idea is simple: you'll have one partner, and once every week (you pick the day this go round), 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 five 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/Every week, you will mail your partner an envelope or small package that contains something to read, something to do or try, and a surprise. Any of those things can relate 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.)

September is a five-week month, sort of. You'll have that whole last week to send.

Week 1: Sept. 1-7 -- An introductory note or letter. Theme: What I did this summer

Week 2: Sept. 8-14 -- Theme: Your favorite author/writer

Week 3: Sept. 15-21-- Theme: Galatians 5:22-23

Week 4: Sept. 22-28 -- Theme: Fall/Autumn Splendor

Week 5: Sept. 29-30 (Oct. 5) -- Theme: Sender's Choice

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 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 fifth envelope/package.

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