Could we use a 9 pocket baseball card holder and put in decorative papers and fill the pockets with various embellishment items? For example, washi tape, fancy paper clips, paper flowers, etc.

@sleepingover2010 as long as it meets the swap requirements feel free to use whatever materials you prefer.

I will join if we can use 9 pocket pages.

Do you include APO addresses as US? It is Armed Forces and a U.S. address, but might require a customs form.

What do you mean when you say "A note".

Rimbar 04/14/2015 #

Does what we mail it in have to be a pocket as well?

To everyone, I have gotten dozens of messages about this swap....SIMPLY PUT, if your idea fits the above description then it's OKAY to do. Please don't overthink it or be nervous. As long as what you make fits the above criteria you're all good! (: thanks for participating. Have fun!! -Debbie

@madonnar can APOs be mailed with a first class stamp?

purtie26 04/15/2015 #

APO address have always had to have a customs form and still require one only if it is a letter or "flat mail" then it can use one or two stamps with no customs form

dalbright 04/15/2015 #

Iy looks like Madonnar has a USA address so we shouldn't need to worry about this question in general I guess. Thanks Purtie26! Very helpful! ♥debbie

Is the a you tube video for these?

Oops! Done to late to join.

Letters with APO addresses are always same postage as we use to mail our letters..Custom forms are needed when lthe letter is to big / bulky and overweight...It then becomes a package and needs a customs form...
