Description:

Mother’s Day is coming up. If you would like your mom to get the kind of Happy Mail experience that swapbotters routinely get….this might be up your alley. After signing up for this swap, write below in the comments a few hints to help your partners put together a little flat happy mail envelope for your mom. Does she like tea? Gardening? Receiving a chatty letter, would she like a new recipe to try, her favourite colours, does she read books and use bookmarks, would she like knit or crochet patterns, would she enjoy an ATC?..other interests….. You will get two partners (if we get at least 3 people to sign up), and I will send additionally to the first two people’s moms who sign up for the swap, and are still in it once partners are assigned.

Once partners are assigned, communicate with your partners and let them know the address (in Canada) they will be sending to. You will not be sending to your partners…….but directly to their mothers.

Get a Mother’s Day Card (Or a generic greeting card if sending a Mother’s Day card to someone else’s mom is weird for you) and Happy Mail it up. You can decorate the envelope if you like (but not required) You can send a naked card ( taped closed with contents inside using the back to address much like postcard with goodies inside). What is sent is senders choice, but do what you can with suggestions given by your partners. Let’s give our moms some Happy Mail for Mother’s Day❤️ This is sent as letter mail so could be sent with a single P stamp depending on what you put inside. The person receiving the swap should be someone you are in touch with so you can confirm receipt and be able to rate your partners. Send something lovely, that you would be happy to have your mom receive. You should probably mention in your card or even on the envelope who your partner is so they are not suspicious of the envelope. If anything needs clarification just let me know.

You must belong to the Canadian Swappers Group in order to join this swap.

My mom is halfway across the country from me. She LOVES gardening and herbal teas. She bakes sourdough every week, loves cooking and recipes from different places. Although she is 80 in just a few days, she is very active but her time outside in summer is limited due to a drug she takes for PV blood disease. She still manages to cut her own lawn and look after her garden. She still works guarding at the local police detachment on call in, and loves to read while there. She’s always looking for recommendations. Danielle Steele is her go to.

Hopefully we will see a few more join in. What a cool idea. My Mom loves the colors purple. All shades and I think she loves sunshine yellow 💛. It's her whole kitchen color. She really has no hobbies anymore. She will be 82 in Nov. She used to read lots of Grisham books. She loves butterflies 🦋 as much as dragonflies. She's planning to sell the house we have been in since I was 4 or 5 (1072)so lots of down sizing

Whoops...meant to write 1972. She loves dark choc and her coffee too. She doesn't like to fuss over pretty things or do any Art or decorate for parties or holidays. We are polar opposites. SB saved my hectic life when I had two babies 1 yr apart & 3 surgeries in less than 18mo's. If you need more info just ask. 😁
