Description:

Have you ever opened your mailbox to find a letter or package so cool or unique that it made you smile or laugh? Last week I got a pen pal letter that was done in such a unique suprising and FUN way.

Anyway... it got me thinking.... what if I hosted a swap where everyone sends something that isn't the 'normal' mail you might receive. I asked the lady at the post office what can be mailed and she said pretty much anything except fresh fruit and fresh meat. (she didn't mention liquids..... but I would assume that is a no-no) So... you could send a box of your favorite candy treat, cereal.... as is, with label attached to the box.

Also.... Try to come up with a way to attach or include a small note or letter. This is not required, but would be very nice if you would.

So... for this swap you will get 1 partner. You are to write them in the most unique way you can think of including some food in the package or envelope. (Mac and Cheese, Chips, Candy, pudding mix.... anything you want!!!) Try to send something you think they (or someone in their home) might like to eat.
The key to this whole swap is that you are creating a UNiQUE package.... that would make your partner giggle or at least totally make their day!!!!

You must have at least a 4.89 to join and no recent 1's or 3's.

How is this swap a mail art swap?

Your mail clerk was mistaken. You most certainly can send "Fresh Fruit." I've seen coconuts twice in the year + I've worked for USPS

I guess because art is in the eye of the beholder. You can get crazy with your packaging or find an interesting food package for mailing.
