Description: | |
I hosted this swap a year ago and lots of lovely ladies came out to play. Let's do it again. :) This is a swap for those of us who love (and have) lots of colorful pens and markers, and enjoy sharing a bit about our lives via the 'ole fashioned way - snail mail. The happy hello part: We will write a note to our partner on a card, stationery, notebook or journal paper (handmade or store-bought). The colorful part: Each sentence we write will be using a different color pen or marker. I've got drawers of different pens - calligraphy, gel, metallic, flair, brush, specialty, etc. and I think it will fun to get them out and actually use them for this swap. You may have a few of them too. Please also address your mailing envelope in this same colorful manner too (each address line in a different color). Beyond that if you want to dress up the envelope further, it's up to you. I don't like setting rules on how long a note/letter needs to be, so just write as much as you would like. Depending on how many different pens/markers you have, you may find yourself wanting to keep the letter going. LOL :) Note: Please do not use Sharpies. They are too smelly and I find they keep this odor even after traveling in an envelope. Easy & fun; I hope you'll come out & play. Lastly, You may use the same color twice, but it must be with a different pen or marker so it's recognizable as a different pen. For example, one sentence could be written with a blue pen and another could be with a blue gel pen or blue magic marker, etc. |
