This fall I discovered a new website while I was surfing the internet one night. I was looking for a site for snail mail pen pals and discovered Swap-Bot. Swap-Bot is an awesome site where you can sign up and take part in different “swaps” they are called. Basically you have a certain criteria you have to follow and you get matched with someone to send it to. For example you might have to send one holiday card and a wrapped teabag to someone you will get matched with who is also a member. Then you will receive a card and teabag too from someone else who was given your address.
Above are some of the envelopes I’ve sent for swaps
Above are some of the swaps I’ve received.
It is such a neat site because it allows you to connect with people from all around the world and exchange items, anything from notecards to postcards, scrapbooking stuff, to huge packages of candy. I have received stuff from Israel, Germany, France, U.S.A., Norway, Australia and The Philippines. I recommend you check it out if you like to send and receive mail.

Very cool!
What a good idea! It’s like Christmas everyday….never knowing who will reply….very nice!
What a great way to travel the world.
Your incoming treasures look so fun… and I really like the envelopes you send out, especially that top pink one.
