Description:

Everytime I clean up my desk, I drop all the extras I find into a big, 8.5x11 envelope. Extras can mean snippings from art projects completed, clippings saved but not used, packaging I thought would be fun to alter, objects, findings, notes, stationary, stickers, stamp impressions and so on.

You know what Desk Detritus is: all the stuff you've hoarded and meant to use, but never did! I imagine that all of us could use a cleaner desk, and so I thought it would be fun to make a swap off it. Can you imagine that all off us have a cleaner desk (lol)

For the record: Ò€’You do not have to have a desk to participate. Got an art table, filing cabinet, or storage area that is overflowing with detrius? Get cleaning and turn that arty trash into someone else's treasure!

Ò€’The idea here is to get rid that bunch of stuff which is in your way, that you aren't going to use, or that you can't stand to just throw away. Ò€’The motto of this swap is "one artist's trash is another artist's treasure".

This things are great for using mail art envies, ATC,friendschip books, making postcards, bookmarks and so on.......

How to? 1.Well, clean your desk. 2.Take all that Desk Detritus and pack it up. 3. Hope you all will have fun with this

This will be my first swap, and boy am I ready. I do not work during the summer so I have been cleaning my craft room. I could probably fill many envelopes with all the stuff I won't throw away but can't possibly use all of. LOL thanks for letting me play

wow perfect!!! I remembered this swap when I was cleaning my craft table. What a great short cut. I would rather put everything in an envelope than put it away! LOL I would love more of these!! Thank you to RENATE for organizing Pat

Just a question, is 8.5x11 the envie size you recommend or is their no rule for this?
