Description:

I've hosted this a few times and it is great fun. Here is what you do:

Collect found randomness from your everyday life, mostly paper probably, and mail it to your partners. By found randomness I mean the following types of things: a cute tag from your new jeans, theater programs, a tea bag of your favorite tea, a cool place mat, promotional postcards, clean scraps of paper you find while out on a walk, work promotional freebies, free bookmarks from your public library, junk mail with neat art on it, brochures from your town, pretty candy wrappers, a paper restaurant menu, a section of your local newspaper, a very inexpensive goodie from a craft fair, a note card you found at a yard sale, a brochure from your vacation, a recipe your aunt gave you, the pamphlets handed out during a parade, a cool small thing you received in a swap, and the stickers you get at the doctor for being a good patient (you still ask for them too, right? :)

Note: Found randomness is different than regular crafting randomness. It is not a bunch of collage scraps. This is not a de-stash craft supplies swap. Please do not sign up just to de-stash ephemera you have already collected.

Anything goes as long as it is not dirty or beaten up and your partner has not specified that he or she dislikes this kind of thing. The idea is to get a little glimpse of somebody else's life through their found randomness. About a three days' collection of randomness is good to send. I like to collect everything interesting I 'find' in three days and not send as much older stuff.

International since this is low cost and we want to see found randomness from all over the world! You will send randomness to two swap partners.

Do not sign up if you cannot send or cannot send on time..

Have fun.

Will have to ban without notice people signing up with less than a 4.98 rating, recent or unexplained 1s or 3s, and/or fishy profiles.
