Description:

For one day, collect the receipts, tags, fruit stickers, candy wrappers, and other miscellaneous debris/ephemera that comes your way.

Then, glue it all (or some of it) to a 4x6 inch piece of cardstock or 'discardboard'. (cardboard from a cereal box or other box is fine).

Doodle, or paint, or crayon under or over your ephemera (if you want to).

Write a message on the back, something about your day, maybe a clue where one of the bits of debris came from "I had a twinkie today and I haven't had one for 10 years!". Something deeply philosophical like that is just fine. :-)

Put it in an envelope, and mail it to your partner.

You can add other bits of pictures, etc, for color or whatever.

Just make sure it has at least three bits of ephemera that were collected from your day!

Newbies are fine. Please don't flake on this. It's easy and fun.

This is a darn cool idea!!! :D

Also, can we send it naked if it's held together well?

Aria 07/21/2010 #

yeah, it's nicer if it has a stamp on it.

Blurg 07/21/2010 #

Oh sure, send it naked. But if it's 'delicate' you can use an envelope. Sender's choice on the envelope aspect.

Speaking of twinkies, I caught one today after it was launched from a twinkie-shaped car - but I gave it to husband because I don't think I've ever eaten one!

I wonder when the swap coordinator will assign partners? I'm so ready to mail my postcard... haha

Sadly, I have to drop from this swap due to partners not being assigned :(

Had an awesome PC made. Want to private swap please let me know.
