Yay! I voted for this one, I'm so excited about it! :D I have one question, though. Although the pictures are indeed flat, I've experienced that, for international destinations, 5+ photos are considered to be like a small packet at the post office (in terms of price for stamps). I'm joining the swap anyway, but perhaps its type could be changed to 3?

Do we send the traveling person/animal/thing to our partner as well??

kittenred 05/11/2012 #

you would keep the object that you use for the swap, so you are only mailing the photos and a letter to go with them.

Ok, my partner will be getting the item too as an extra;)

I have my pictures taken - just have to write the letter. What fun we had on our outing! :)

Do we just take the object on one outing?

This sounds like a fun swap. I just did one similar to this for a young lass celebrating 200yrs girl scouts where I took her Flat Savannah around my town visiting loads of spots so I'm in.

well the swap does work a little like toy voyagers or flat stanley, and yes, only one outing. if you yourself choose to do more than one outing (something that children's book authors have done in order to gather material for a story) then that's fine, that could be your own project, but for this swap it is one outing.

oh dear! have been made aware that @koalascout hasn't been logging in recently. I will wait a week, then if she still hasn't logged in, I will angel for her partner. (who she was to send to)

Not to worry. @koalascout is my partner and she PM'd me. She's having computer problems. But was able to get my address and she's working on the project.

@kittenred Great swap had fun with it. I even went to the CVS, to buy a stuffed dog for this swap. My friend and I had a great day shooting this swap. I hope my partner will enjoy seeing the photos I enclosed.
