Description:

Send two partners each an envelope of ephemera. One definition of ephemera is, "a class of collectable items not originally intended to last for more than a short time, such as tickets, posters, postcards, or labels." It's not hard to do well if you try to be weird with your ephemera.

So--not notecards, but dance cards. Not memo sheets, but grocery lists. I expand the definition to include bits of paper that are interesting and random like music sheets, pages from old books, advertising that is old or not in your native language, neat and interesting wrappers, pretty designs, etc.

All welcome with reasonably good ratings and profiles

Looks like a fun swap...just wondering though...it says two partners but also states 1 partner. I take it is probably 2, just want to clairfy. Thanks!

FQ, thanks for the catch, I will edit the swap.

What size envelope should we be using?

NorthernBorder 02/14/2011 #

Kayleena, most people use a business sized or 6x9 envelope.
