Here we go again, same as the last time...

Make a postcard out of a food box. Whatever your favorite processed food, it may have come in a thin cardboard box; Cracker Jacks, popcorn, cereal, you get the idea.

Make 1 postcard for 3 partners=3 postcards total. All welcome, have fun and be creative. Write about when you ate it, why you like it, was it a snack for your kid, etc.

Start saving those boxes because you'll only have a week to mail them out once partners are assigned.

*Postcards should measure 4 x 6" Mail naked (stamped and written on) if possible.

Any requirements for newbies? When you say "mail naked" what does that mean?

Love2Scrap45 12/ 3/2009 #

Mailing naked means to not put your postcard into an envelope.Basically,you cut your box to the 4x4 postcard measurement,and you write on the back and add your postage like you would a regular post card.

Love2Scrap45 - THANK YOU so much for answering. Being a "newbie" I have learned a lot so far and I appreciate your help! :)

I always do some altering on mine to make them a bit more interesting. I would love it if mine came that way and maybe if they were more "arty" it wouldn't bug my husband so much. He thinks all this is a waste of time and doesn't understand how creating makes me feel good.

Is there a photo somewhere that we can look at to see how these should look when they're done? I'm not sure how much work we should be doing on them (or not doing) and I don't want to disappoint the people I send to...

Missysmom.... I wonder why most men have to think so logically and try to spoil our fun. Take your pleasure wherever you can find it and don't let the comments bother you!
