I think everyone wanted to keep it small. Let me try to find a pic of the type of bubble mailer I'm gonna be getting..
see these, I'm gonna probably get the largest one.. except, I'm gonna try to find something prettier like this
Hmmm....ok. I think that'll fit what I wanna get. If not, I'll do a small box, and include the bubble mailer inside so the next person doesn't have to pay to ship a box.
Now that I think of it, I might get the 2nd or 3rd largest envelope shown... I gotta see what I can find on Saturday. Everything I plan on swapping is small and lightweight.
I think the flower envelope is probably exactly what I'm shooting for. I'm going to be including maybe 5 items so then you'll take one of those things and switch it out for something. The next person doesn't necessarily have to take whatever you added... they might want take one of the things I added so I don't think the extra box would work. Is this getting confusing? x_x
I was thinking small things like keychains.. a small paperback book could even fit in an envelope like that.
of course I originally wanted to do a box, a good size box, but then fairlight mentioned the bubble envelope and I realized the shipping for that would be cheaper so people are less likely to hang on to the pacakage if they have enough $$ to send it out... this is kind of a tester to see if it works out well, then maybe there can be a box in the future.. unless you wanna start a box too, so there would be two swaps going on @.@, maybe that one would just be for the Usa folks because of shipping costs.. or you can be starter of the big box once this swap is done and over with!
Swap boxes are cool! That is how I met my wife, she sent me an art swap box all personalized to me..It ended up not being a swap box cause she only sent it to me..but it did come from a swap box thread though..when I got the box (fed ex) I knew I would marry her and I had never met her..I love REAL mail/
I received an international letter the other day with no return address, but the writing on the outside was French or Portuguese. I was excited yes I was
..so yeah, think I got everyone's information already who is participating rainy mama ruby fairlight letlovin hedge kinky wizard acek back to rainy
I think the idea would be to leave something at least as good. Kinda like geocaching....lol I still need to make a day out of that.
Maybe by the time it gets to acek, if there's a member here who has a birthday coming up, maybe the package should just get sent to them? I don't know. I don't care.
I really hope this works out.Let's stay on track folks.When the final person has got the package we should reveal who sent what,but until then it's a secret.
As long as Mama gets it to me, I will get it to you. Hopefully everyone will keep it going. You expect me to remember what I put in? I will have to take a picture because I won't remember. Haha
Shocking that. I assumed that it would be someone like a heroin addict, selling the box for the next fix. But the pics look like some cheerful old Aunt. (Or maybe the fat conwoman on that film Identity Theft). I'm glad I'm a cynic... WTF
