Are you a person beset by messes? Do you have piles that should be paying you rent? Do you take photos of every darn thing that happens in your life? Then join this swap, and share your personal mess with your partners! Here's what to do: Take a photo of a mess that you have created and now must live with. Could be at home or work, indoors or out. Print this photo out twice as two postcards, and mail one to each of your partners. Write a little explanation on the back to entertain your partner with your disorganized ways. Clean your room, you lazy bum! The fine print: This swap is INTERNATIONAL. Must have a 4.5 or higher rating, or else contact me and explain your circumstances. Newbies welcome with completely filled-out profiles. You must have logged in within a week of signup date. If I drop you because of this last one, please don't be offended! I'll probably be willing to do a private version if you are sad about being dropped! Please clearly indicate on the card your username and the title of the swap.

Funny idea!

Oh no ! Not only will my partners see the postcard/photo... but the people at the post office will have another look into who that "whacko woman" that mails out stuff all over the world - and gets the most interesting mail in return... really lives ! Last time I went in ( like always, because I can't just put a stamp on my stuff and figure it is good), I joked with the guy at the counter who says that my stuff makes him "think"! They have to look up strange country's regulations, and often have to know if what I'm sending needs a Customs sheet or not. Most recently, I'm sending off "interesting" postcards. So now a postcard with a photo of a moment in my life - May just put them over the edge ! OOps, sorry ! LOL

I recently had to switch to a new post office (hopefully only temporarily) and they're so overworked that they don't have time to be amused by my weird mail. It's very tragic!

i was just thinking if i join this swap i will have to mail it out of town post office LOL

LOL, I have a several messes I could take pictures of! Is It ok if the picture is printed on regular paper and glue onto a postcard sized stiff backing? i rarely use photo paper, so I don't have any on hand. I could seal the picture with packing tape if neccesary.

Yep, that's totally fine. As long as you glue it down firmly I don't think packing tape will be necessary, though perhaps I'm putting too much faith in the postal service not to put your card in the special "this is art, so it must be destroyed" canceling machine.

I am about ready to clean up my Craft Room mess, but I'll take a picture of it first. Oh my, how embarrassing - but funny. Great idea for a swap.
