Extras do not necessarily earn you hearts in my book. A swap can meet minimum requirements and be incredible without extras being included. Plus, I like to give hearts just because I think it's nice to do. ;-)

I reuse happy mail I receive for my junk journals! It'd be awesome if you decorated your envelopes for your swaps you send me (but please don't feel obligated to do so)!

I personally am not a stickler for reading postmarks and comparing them to the send date - one, because I honestly don't have time or care about those kinds of things lol, and two, postmarks can be inaccurate and can be impacted by a multitude of other factors (weather, mail delays, etc.). At the end of the day, it's just mail, and it's supposed to make us happy. If you're so nitpicky to rate someone based off of a possibly incorrect postmark, then this may not be a healthy hobby for you. It becomes an issue when I don't receive a swap from someone, which rarely happens. Even so, I give people the benefit of the doubt and I always give them a chance to re-send and I'm usually very lenient and understanding. COMMUNICATION IS IMPORTANT, THOUGH! If your swap is late, not sent, lost, whatever the case, please reach out to me and/or respond to my messages. If they remain unread or unanswered, I'll assume you're ignoring me.
