Dear RAOK friends,

In view of rising postage swaps,  we have decided to change the fall gift swap to a teabag swap;  Here's how it will work:

Each swapper will send two to four individually wrapped teabags to the assigned swap partner. Please try to send a variety of teas- no more than two of any one kind- especially if you choose to send three or four.    Four tea bags in a standard 5 by 7 notecard will still come in at less than an ounce, and because it's flat, you can safely mail it for only 66 cents.   Your swap partner's preferences will be on record so you'll know what to send - and what not to send. 

For example :  All teas welcome

Please, black tea only ( no herbals )

Decaffienated tea only

Green and white teas preferred 

Signups will be open until August 28th,  and swap partners will be assigned August 30th.  Mailing begins September 1st and continues through the month. Please use this thread to note when your gift of autumn warmth was mailed and when your gift was received. 

Thanks for participating, and happy tea drinking, everyone!

Melanie
