Bills, Mail, and a Glue stick!

When i was a missionary,I LOVED getting letters and packages- and now... i get bills- and junk mail... and on the rare occasion, a box( personally purchased off EBay or something) but i wanted to get COOL letters and "stuff" like when i was back in Oklahoma- so i turned to my crafty roommate-WHO told me about... SWAP BOT! - okay so lets start at the beginning...
You could say I'm a little crafty-Martha Stewart ESK even. So when my roommate Danelle turned me on to this sight that allows you to have pen pals, be crafty, and get more than bills in my PO Box i signed the dotted line and logged in to http://www.swapbot.com/

This sight lets you sign up for various art projects so to speak-that you send to multiple one-time "pen-pals". On September 9, 2009 there is a "swap" where you send out 9 postcards, to 9 people- and in return you GET 9 postcards from all over ( the WORLD even!) so while BORED out of my mind at work i crafted me up some post cards- (easy simple layered paper, some glitter, and a little drawings with a sharpie and I'm good to go!) so 9/9/09 someone will be getting one of my 9 ( sensing a theme, no?) home made postcards!

Along the same lines as the postcards only smaller scale is some thing called and "inchie" a 1"X1" piece if art- i have 8 collected so far, and when i reach ...well, more than 8 my plan is to frame them- BUT you make little tiles on little paper or any art medium and you send them, again all over the country/world. Here are some i have made for my upcoming "swap"

A Visual of how small these REALLY are!!! (with my nubby little fingers)

Ill let you know how it all turns out and show you what I get when they come! because lets face it, who only wants to open the mail box and get bills??
