Can this be mailed?
Swap Coordinator:Johkup (contact)

Last day to signup/drop:September 11, 2013
Date items must be sent by:September 20, 2013
Number of swap partners:1
Description:

We all know that postcards and envelopes can be mailed, right, but in this swap you will send your partner something that was made with no intention to be sent in the mail.

Examples: - Cd covers - Tennisball - Food packaging - Fabric - Some wooden thing - A book - Cutting board - Flip flop - Hat - Sock. Sky is the limit!

Anything that wasn't supposed to be adressed and stamped and sent. But make sure stamps won't drop during the long trip thru mail.

The thing you send can be sent as a postcard or as an envelope - the main rule is that the adress has to be written directly on the thing and you don't wrap it into something else before you send it. The stamp should also be directly on this thing. Write a small note telling which swap this is for, and maybe also why you chose this thing (why is not necessary).

The thing you send also has to fit into a regular mail box!

Newbies are welcome with filled out profiles. No 1's or 3's for the last year - other than that no requirements :)

Be creative and have fun swapping!

I got this great swap idea from @efjellro who hosted this in another group. I'm glad I got to host this too :)

Very cool idea.

Silly question ;). If I can´t write on the surface, can I use an address label? Thanks :)

Sure you can @betty194 Idea is just that the item is not meant to be mailed and you write on the item. But not all materials are good to write so make sure the label stays put :)
