Description:

Each player will get a big envelope of odds and ends, Mystery Trash to Treasure. Things, like tissue paper, images, STUFF from me.

The challenge is that you need to make 2 cards each for 2 partners from this old stuff, plus a card for me. That is 5 atc cards total.

Use at least 3 of the items per card. You may also use the envelope, stamp and washi tape. You can use your own items.

Please do not just glue items down willy nilly, make a coherent cohesive work of art.

Cards are to have a firm backing, along with some contact info on the back and the year 2020, PLUS, list the trash items you used for the card.

I will send every player one card, as well, with their craft room clean out stuff. My partners will get 3 atc cards from me.

At this point there is not a limit to players but it does need to USA only due to the time and cost.

Each player agrees to make me one card, reimburse my for my original postage cost which will be 85 cents, and allow me to post photos to my flickr.com account to share with the players.

So did you read it all? Are you sure? To sign up, post in the comments: your favorite animal.

I will mail out envelopes May 11th, I will angel. this swap.

I added an extra week to the swap deadline. That is the deadline for you the players to make something from the trash. I will mail on the 11th.

Please do post in the comment areas when your envelope arrives. I keep track. I can see when you have mailed, as can all players via the VIEW participants.

I will delete all your animal comments to make room for your received mail comments.

Wow! What a nice envelope of "trash" I received in the mail today. Now to sort it out and decide how best to create 5 ATCs. Thanks for hosting.

@georgiafae

Yes, just send me back postage stamps when you mail me one atc.

I deleted your Favorite animal comments to make room for CHECK IN, so I can see who posted that their envelope from me arrived.
