PocketSwap

Good morning, Rikki here and today I am sharing with you my take on the Pocket Letter. And I am sure your wondering why?

We are excited to announce our Scrappinclearly Aussie Pocket Letters Group. If you haven’t heard of or actually seen a Pocket Swap than I am sure you will be as excited and as hooked we are here at Scrappingclearly.

Pocket Letter Pals were created by Janette of Janette Lane Blog http://janettelane.blogspot.com.au and are a new way to send and collect penpal letters. The concept is easy and fun!

Pocket Swap are penpal letters in pocket format. Basically, you fill all the pockets of a 9 Pocket Page Protector (or similar) and send the whole page to someone who wants to swap or to your existing penpal(s). You fill the pockets with the components of a typical penpal letter. Items such as stickers, tea bags, ephemera, washi tape samples, and pictures can be added. A letter is included and tucked into one of the pockets. The Pocket Letter folds up easily and is then sent to your Pocket Swap Pal in a standard 10 size envelope.

It's the perfect way to send and collect letters from other Pocket Swap Pals (i.e. people who are sending mail in this format) around the world. They also fit perfectly in a binder for easy storage! This can be a one-time exchange or you can swap Pocket indefinitely.

If you are interested in joining our group, creating these awesome Pockets and gathering Pocket Swap Pals from all around Australia -please head over to the Scrappingclearly Group Page:
