Description:

Following along the lines of my Covered in Stamps mail art swap, for this swap you will cut out words from magazines, junk mail, etc. to tell your partner a little about you. You might use words that describe you, tell about foods you love, be a saying you like, tell the colors you like, etc.

You will have 1 partner, and I challenge you to essentially cover most of the envelope (front & back) with words! (Once I started experimenting and cutting out my own words, I had no problem filling up the front and back sides.) Please use a good quality adhesive so they don't peel off during their journey through the postal system.

To help make your envelope a bit sturdier so it can withstand the postal system, please add a small flat surprise (sender's choice) - note card, postcard, recipe, book mark, handmade envelope, etc. DonÒ€ℒt forget to include your name & swap bot ID somewhere inside the envelope.

Have fun telling your partner about you in "words!"

I will keep an eye on this swap as it sounds interesting but need to find words first as I dont really buy mags.

I don't buy them myself, but rather get them free from co-workers who bring in their already-read ones. Our local libraries sometimes sell them for cheap. You could also check your local thrift stores; they may have them too.
