Description:

This swap is for a stuffed envie full of ephemera that can be used for making art. Let's keep this reasonable - a 4 x 6 inch envelope and USA only. That means folding, cutting and sorting. No big envelopes. Let's just share some ephemera with each other.

Ephemera DOES NOT MEAN office supplies. If I get another note pad as part of an ephemera exchange I'm gonna scream. This also DOES NOT mean print outs from your home printer of ephemera. If you don't have any real ephemera, don't sign up for this swap.

To understand what ephemera is, read the group about page: http://www.swap-bot.com/group/b9b98766ccbdb38dd2da5cdd21ee7002/about

Wikipedia has a great explanation of ephemera: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ephemera

Finally, the Ephemera Society of America has a great list with explanations: http://www.ephemerasociety.org/whatisephemera.html

Ephemera doesn't have to be vintage, though vintage is cool. So find interesting book pages, tickets, ticket stubs, maps, menus, trading cards, sheet music, labels, letters, interesting receipts, die cuts, instructions, wrappers, postage stamps, sewing patterns, etc., etc., etc.

5/7 note: Once this swap gets going, please let me know if you have problems. Partner doesn't send, partner sends a bunch of crap, stuff like that. I'm starting a list of people to ban and I'm not afraid to use it. But please, let me know how it's going!!!

Meanwhile, so far a great group of swappers are signed up - all 5.0 ratings. Yay!

Does anyone have any questions? I hope the everyone puts at least 10 things in their envelope, but I bet you can fit more! It's about numbers and quality but mostly about fun. We have a great group of swappers so far so thanks everyone for that (all 5.0 ratings so far).
