Description:

Halloween is such a fun holiday...so let's celebrate with some fun and creative mail!

For this swap, you're invited to create a spooky package for your partner. This package could include:

  • altered/handmade Halloween postcard
  • a list of your favorite scary books to share
  • Halloween decoration or ornament
  • a mysterious photograph
  • a gloomy poem
  • Halloween card or tags
  • Halloween bookmark
  • a recipe for your favorite ghastly appetizer
  • a recipe for your favorite terrible brew
  • a letter from the dead
  • Halloween stickers
  • terrible, terrible fortunes
  • your favorite scary movie
  • whatever creative Halloween item you can think of!

Choose any five things to send to your partner! All this should be packed up in a dark or spooky envelope, of course. The more creative you are and the more items you include, the better.

Please do check your partner's profile before you put together your package. This is a sender's choice package, but it's nice to avoid their dislikes if you can, as well as to be extra pleasing wherever possible.

Remember, this is a spooky, not crazy creepy package, so nothing too grotesque or that could be potentially offensive, please.

The fine print:

  • Please choose include at least 5 items.
  • At least one of the items must be handmade by you.
  • Your package should be in a 6" x 9" envelope or larger.
  • The envelope should be spookily decorated in some way.
  • There is no minimum that you need to spend..and actually, being that this is a creative group, the more you make yourself, the better!

You will have two weeks to send your swap, but you could actually start thinking about it now, too. Your own spooky package should arrive in time to celebrate Halloween!

This swap is open to all members in good standing. Please remember to communicate with your partner if you need to, and don't forget to rate promptly when you receive your package. Above all...have fun!

I had an idea about one of the items we could maybe send - I would love to see pictures of people dressed up in their Halloween costumes from years past!

I love that idea @raegun83 ! yes please include if you have one and don't mind sharing. :)

Also, wrapped CANDY. Sheesh. (just so long as your partner accepts it.)
