Description:

If you've swapped for any length of time, you likely have a growing stash of supplies that you need to use up. If that's the case, this is the swap for you!

Participate in this swap and use up some of your
* note cards
* paper or handmade envelopes
* stickers
* washi

You will have 10 partners (or as many as sign up, if less than 10). For each you will write a favorite joke, pun, riddle, one-liner, or other funny in a note card – anything to bring a smile or giggle to your partner (good common sense to keep the jokes clean as to not offend – but, please, if someone shares a joke you find a bit off-color, just live and let live and don’t make a big deal out of it). Decorate the note card envelope with stickers and/or washi. Go ahead and use up some you've had awhile or even some of your favorite that you've been hoarding. Theme doesn’t matter – just have some fun and make it look happy. Then, put the note card in a handmade envelope made from your paper supply. Or, if you have a stack of handmade envies already, use those. Decorate the handmade envie with more stickers and/or washi. Be sure to include your name and name of swap somewhere.

Do this ten times and clear some room in your stash… then you can go shopping for new stuff! (I would say I'm kidding, but we all know the truth, right?)

OH, HERE'S THE IMPORTANT RULE -- do NOT include any extras or tuck-ins. The point us to USE UP your stash, not acquire new bits.

This is completely sender’s choice - you do not even need to look at profiles and can have everything ready to go before partners are assigned.

New-ish members are welcome – but please only join if you have a stash. Don’t buy supplies for this swap, use up what you have on hand.

I’ll ban the questionables for reasons I see fit.

Play nice – send and rate and communicate!

This looks like such a fun swap!! I would SO be doing this if I wasn't going to be away during that time. I hope you run it again! :D
