Description:

This is a swap to get rid of old love letters. If you're anything like me, you have little notes and poems shoved in drawers around your house that you kinda forgot about.

For this swap you will send one memento from a previous relationship and a short note to one partner.
The memento can be any of the following:
-poem
-letter
-romantic zine
-photograph
-old valentine
-or anything else that is from an old relationship and would be interesting for someone else to look at.

Please do NOT send print outs of emails or similar things.

For the note, you can tell your partner about the significance of the item, or something about the person who gave it to you (happy or sad).

This is international, but your envelope really shouldn't take more than one stamp to send, so postage isn't too bad.

Please check your partner's profile before sending anything graphic.

This is a fairly simple swap, but if you need any clarifications let me know (this is my first swap I've made).

I'm just a nosy person by nature, and there's something fascinating about other people's love letters.

This is such a cute idea for a swap! I'm too attached to my love letters to send them, though. ^_^ Hahahahaha and I put all my ex's love letters through a shredder after we break up. Hahahaha. Anyway. I just wanted to tell you this is a fascinating idea for a swap! :) I hope it goes well!

I lit fire to mine also.

I am glad you guys think it's cute. Funny enough, I thought of this idea for a swap while I was burning a box of old love notes and pictures I had found too... I'm just messy and scatterbrained enough that I keep finding them in the corners of my closet that I never clean. (:

I actually don't want to give away the momento - can I send a copy of it...?

oblivionspin 05/16/2012 #

@Merimax I think a photocopy of your memento would be fine. (:

Oh, I want to do this, but I don't have any old love letter or cards.....the cards I burned (seems to be the healing thing to do.....it kind of does help), and sadly I have never gotten a love letter. This is such a fun swap, please post and let me know what you all get that is good!!

I joined, but suddenly realized that my love letter will be in french and therefore quite uninteresting to anyone who does not understand it. :( I'll drop then :(

@mnemosynes - I hadn't thought of mentioning that. It might be too late for you to join now, but if I ran this swap again I would say you could include a translation of the letter for the reader.
