Description:
Do you love a good scavenger hunt? Do you love to rip up magazines? Do you haunt second hand stores and flea markets? Do you love collage, altered books, scrapbooking, journaling? The you'll love this creative exercise! This is a flat mailing and international. Open to every creative soul, willing to go the extra miles to make it fun. You will have one partner and will need to collect the following 26 things or images representing the word. You can have one wild card - which means you can substitute something else if you are stuck or pass on the letter altogether. If you do this, insert an old playing card to represent your pass! Please remember to keep things as flat as possible. Have fun! A: ad from the 20's-50's B: butterfly C: cartoon character D: door E: eclectic design F: flattened found object G: glitz/glamour H: handwritten note, letter or postcard (the older the better) I: international postage stamp J: jewelry part that is flat or has been flattened K: key L: line drawing M: money (play, foreign, coin or paper) N: newspaper headline O: oriental P: police beat from a newspaper Q: quote about art R: rainbow S: shiny/silver T: texture rubbing U: unusual receipt V: very special paper W: window X; xerox of something you've made Y: your partner's name (or nickname) in newsprint, magazine print or individual letters Z: zipper Good Sources: Beauty parlor for old magazines - they usually have tons of glamour/style mags. My library also has a box of old magazines. Check illustrations in $1 bookstores, library book sales or thrift shops. P.S. Take a look at your partner's profile and include some additional flat ephemera for fun and hearts!

Sounds like fun, however with Easter being early this year (March 23) and my other commitments for March I will not have time. Sorry Enjoy

That would be good - or a close up of some fiber art! be creative, I always say! I have extended the send-by date by a week - it occurred to me that Easter and other spring rituals might get in the way ( plus I will be on vacation [in search of sun] myself).

This sounds like such fun. I was trying to explain a scavenger hunt to my grandson just this past weekend. I am going to print the list and begin the hunt.

I wanted my March list to be done since I have other swaps I am in but how really can one pass a scavenger hunt??? So, I am !!

This sounds like a lot of fun, but I'm doing a lot already and don't feel like I have the time, but I hope you do again in the future!

To some of my fellow scavengers:

....how does one attach the Flickr Photos link to one's SwapBot profile?

I notice some of you have done so and I enjoyed checking out your work.
