For this swap you will have 1 partner in which you will share a bit about yourself through the prompts listed below.

You will write out these prompts EXACTLY as they're written below, on any thing that can fit in an envelope (piece of paper, a card, work it into a painting or collage, make it into a mini-zine, whatever you like!).

You will then answer them in any way you wish; long or short answers, silly or serious.

Pop it into a DECORATED envelope (and i really mean decorated! don't just put stickers on it, make your own, or draw/collage/paint on an exsisting one), and mail it off to your lucky partner!

After the signup deadline you will have 2 whole weeks to do this, so please take your time, be creative, make it something your partner would love to receive!

I think that is a really neat idea. If I am done with my letter by that time, I will for sure sign up! :)

Katica 05/11/2010 #

Oh my god this looks fun....the timing so does not work for me, but i hope you host it again someday :)

suzie 05/12/2010 #

Seems like a great idea..sadly though it´s a bit too artistic for my talents...

loreley 05/14/2010 #

Lovely:) Just the 2 weeks are not enough for me:(

TheBigB 05/23/2010 #

Ohhh.... what about turning all of these into a long poem. Is that acceptable?

TheBigB 05/23/2010 #

Or prose, more or less.

lexieforever 05/24/2010 #

sure why not :)

Can you host an electronic version?

marthy 05/24/2010 #

Fabulous idea! I'd love to make a journal, with a page for each prompt...may in fact do that...but I can't commit to the swap. But thanks for the notion, and I'll be watching happily!

Can I put the decorated envelope in another envelope so it doesn't get damaged in the mail?

lexieforever 05/26/2010 #

@CcHk11 only if your partner doesn't mind. please check with them. some people really prefer to see how the mailing process affects the mail art.

Do you realize it is 26 steps and not 24? lol That's ok tho!

Serenity 05/27/2010 #

I'm so glad you did this swap, it was fun and enlightening, honestly. I really enjoyed making my list for my partner. You did a good job sweetie.
