Number of swap partners:	3
Description:
Make a 4"x 6" postcard out of a food box. It can be cereal, some type of snack, drink, etc...Just needs to be cardboard!! You will have 3 partners....so you will make one PC for each of those partners. Although it isn't a requirement, you can be as creative as you would like to be(sometimes I add a little glitter....you can "spice it up" as much as you like...just remember it has to be mailed naked). Please do write on the back about when you ate it, why you like it, was it a snack for your child.....something about the product. Start saving those boxes so you'll be ready to mail out when the time comes!! *Postcards should be mailed naked (stamped and written on). Please note this is an international swap. Everyone is welcome to join in....but I have the right to ban if I feel the need!! (I can, I'm the hostess! HA!)

Love this - but not sure I can participate this round due to hurricane Sandy recovery. Please do it again.

No worries! I have hosted a bunch of these swaps, and I'll be doing it again. Everyone in the northeast is in my thoughts and prayers!!

I haven't done one of these before, so I'm not familiar with what it means to mail it 'naked'!

preslarb 11/ 6/2012 #

Naked means it should be sent like a postcard...not in an envelope....stamped and written on. You will need to stabilize it with some light cardboard.

Can it be bigger than 4x6? I don't want to ruin the design of my box..

JingleKeys, I had one that had to be a bit bigger,too, only a 1/4 inch or so though. Actually, I think it was yours,lol! You should be getting it today or tomorrow.

Mine are all bigger than 4 x 6, I just couldn't do them any smaller as you would lose the product logo or half the recipe.
