Thanksgiving and Happiness / October 2025 / Sending a Smile Swap

These are the submissions for the Sending a Smile (1 for 1 swap) for October 2025. The theme was "Thanksgiving" and "Happiness". November theme is Christmas or winter celebration. I hope you will leave all the talented crafters a comment and join us next month.

Swap info:
All levels of crafters are welcome
All Mediums are welcome
You can use any stamps/materials you want.
Each month will have a new theme
Video will be posted in the last week of the month.
After we make video, the cards will be mailed back out to all participants.
We recommend making cards 4.25 x 5.5 inch or 5 x7 or slimline sizes.
Please do not write in the card. This will allow the person it is sent to send it on to their friends and family. If you want to include a note do so on a separate post it.
You are welcome to send more than one card- but need to send postage cost for each card sent.

USA Postage - two ways

Best way- Just include a $1 in your card. This will cover stamp ($0.60) + envelope ($0.13) and the cost of ink, labels, and post it notes (?).

If you are curious…this is my reason. I think we will have a good participation for this swap. I’ve seen other swaps that ask for self-addressed envelopes, loose postage stamps, or return address labels. Because of the large number of people participating… I don’t want to have a bunch of loose envelopes, stamps, or return labels to also sort and keep track of. This will help streamline the process. Thank you for helping me this job a little easier.

If you are uncomfortable sending $1. I don’t want this to be the thing that stops you from participating. Please send a self-addressed envelope with your swap card. I’ll do my best to figure it all out.
