What's a postal/mail related goody? Interpret the best you can, basically anything a fan of snail mail would enjoy: The ONLY REQUIREMENT is one item has to have a mailbox on it, the other 2 items can be anything else that is related to snail mail/postal system.

Some ideas:

Stamps used, unused a grabbie of random ones

Any sort of stamp Selvage

Anything from the your mail to create mail art with, or to save for some other project...

Postcards of mailboxes, or postmen

Mr.Zip

A picture of your mailbox

A picture of your mail person ;)

Air mail envies

Cool envies

Neat Stationary

Photo copies of postal images

A rubber stamp of a mail goody

I'm hoping this swap inspires you to look thru all your mail gear and pick out 3 cool mail related things you would like to share and swap!

Have to be a part of this fab group to participate... Ill check before assigning partners that all are in good standing and that all members are active!

Your partner gets a 5 if you receive 3 postal related items, 1 of which has a mailbox on it, and a letter about their mail habit/hobby!

I hesitate to say this, but I think it's kind of a rough requirement that one of the items has to have a mailbox on it. I have lots of postal goodies I could send, but nothing with a mailbox on it. And I don't own a camera (not even a cellphone camera),so I can't take a picture of my mailbox. Could you at least post a link to a place that sells items w/ mailboxes on them? Otherwise, I can't be in the swap.

Oops...I feel so stupid. I thought you meant the big blue postal system mailboxes. You mean an ordinary mailbox like in front of someone's house! I didn't realize that because it's been so long since I've seen one. I live in a suburban area where all the mail is delivered through slots in the front doors. But I do know here I can lay my hands on a postcard with an ordinary rural-type mailbox. Never mind...=laugh=

I LOVE this idea. I'm hoping I can get some of these things in time for the swap. We don't have mailboxes in our area (Phoenix) ... everyone's mail comes in those clusterboxes to avoid theft. I'm sure I can figure something out though! :)

This is super cool - I'm watching for now since I'm still rather evacuated from my home... :P Thanks for hosting!
