Hi,

I have a question concerning the meaning of the word "ephemera" in this swap. I am not American and I think the word "ephemera" does not really exist in my mother tongue language (German). So I looked for a definition and found one at the Ephemera Society: "Ephemera encompasses a wide range of printed items including brochures, advertisements, book plates, labels, autographs, dust jackets, broadsides, documents, letters, manuscripts, maps, pamphlets, posters, prints, rewards of merit, trade cards, sheet music, valentines and newspapers."

Is this what you understand about ephemera in this swap? Only printed items? Or does this word in the world of crafting also mean buttons, ribbons, threads, fabrics etc?

Thank you for your answers!

Maria / Marigold

I know I included lots of things besides paper items. I put in ribbons, fibres, poker chips, silk flowers, vintage buttons, eyelets and brads, just about anything you could think of. I use all sorts of things when making atcs, so I thought I'd put a great selection of crafty items in the baggie.

Please see the picture for an idea of what to include in the ephemera swap. It does not JUST include printed materials. It includes anything that could be used on an ATC.

I hope my partners don't mind, but some of the paper I am sending won't fit in a sandwich baggie without folding. :) I'm all packed and ready too!

Wasn't sure what to expect, since I'm a new to Swap-bot. All I can say is you all are setting the bar really high for me!

I'm such a lucky girl. I've already received two incredible packages from Sueb and Keisha. Both of you were very generous and sent items I'm excited about putting to use. I would swap with both of you again in a flash! I hope what I send out will delight my partners as much as what I've received has delighted me!

Sueb - thank you particularly for your thoughtful addition of the pens and doggies. Very much appreciated!
