Dear Swappahs,

Whatever your favorite processed junk food, it may have come in a thin cardboard box. Cracker Jacks. A Mac-n-Cheese box is a perfect size, as is a pilaf box or rice-a-roni. Make three postcards for three partners, send 'em on out. All welcome, be good, have fun!

from your friendly paper-o-phile.

So, we will be making a total of 6 posties?

StwbyQT 06/20/2008 #

Er.. nevermind.

Actually, that's a good question. I assume you mean one postcard for 3 different people (total of 3 cards made) but it's not quite clear.

Missysmom 06/21/2008 #

Also- can there be a bit of altering on it? I usually like to include at least one image. Makes them more interesting, I think.

Remember how big a postcard is,....

Oh I agree about the altering. It's extreme fun to improve on the package. Since they are free carads, can we up the partners? Please!

Don't you just love CARDS- free CARDS not carads. What are those anyway?

Missysmom 06/23/2008 #

Ok I'm chuckling- do we all have to do our posts double? Very funny doncha think?

Missysmom 06/23/2008 #

Oh- I just had to- couldn't resist!! :)

You all are silly!

Hello, swappers. Thank you for your responses to my survey about increasing the number of partners. The majority vote is to keep it the same.

Only one card per partner. You can certainly send more than one card per partner if you so desire.

Embellishments, decorations, stickers -- anything goes as long as the basic structure of the card is evidently a recycled grocery item box.

Yahoo for recycling on SWAPBOT!

ahhhh...memories of the recyled box ATC swaps from long ago!

oh this could be my first swap... are newbies and internationals allowed?? I know you said all welcome but just thought i would ask. :)

I don't eat a lot of boxed stuff so I didn't want to sign up but we went on a road trip this weekend and somehow managed to buy poptarts! So, I have two cards made, am sure I can find another. I'm in!

Hehe, after reading the message for the second version of this swap I am worried that the cards I sent in this round were a bit nasty looking hehe. I did write nice messages on the back though, so I hope that counts for something!
