Description:

Ever wonder what has happened to those "lost" swaps? Do you start imagining where your little package goes after you hand it over to your local Postman? Here lately with a high number of my swaps going MIA I have started coming up with creative stories. So with help from whimzee I came up with a simple swap to relieve all those frustrations with the postal system.

All you have to do is one of the following for two partners: A) Write a story about your lost swaps, how maybe your sweet dear elderly postman has a secret addiction to packages. B) Illustrate in a peice of artwork what happened, like collage a 6x6 or whatever size with smashed matchboxes, torn envies. C)Make a top 10 list of possible scenerios or suspects.

Get creative have fun and most of all make it fun for your partners. You can send a little goodie from their profile, but not necessary. This is just a way for all of us to remember this is suppose to be a fun creative outlet to share our wild imaginations with people around the world.

I will be checking profiles for "bad" little swappers. If you are a newbie, welcome to my swap. If you are a flaker and have a poor history I'm gonna give you the boot sorry.

To the rest of you fab swappers, can't wait to swap with you!

I've had a few lost packages from other sites, so this will be fun! It's really cheeky -- if the post man does take a peek inside, he/she will be pleasantly suprised!

user7639 06/14/2007 #

I just hope my packages don't get mixed up or destroyed in the process. :) LOL hmmm...that gives me an idea

user6307 06/14/2007 #

Ayii, that could be a very interesting story on that! And whimzee I can imagine what is going on there, especially since you were the one who inspired for this swap to begin with!

user7639 06/16/2007 #

so...I got one today -- the mailman took the picture off my postcard I was suppose to get :( All I was left with was glue marks on cardstock...he should have just kept the whole thing. :|

user6307 06/16/2007 #

Now he is just playing with you that is why he didn't take the whole thing. I think he wants to get caught, most criminals do!

user6307 06/19/2007 #

Hey whats going on we are losing people when we should be gaining!!! There has to be more people out there who struggles with the postal system where are they?

user6307 06/22/2007 #

Where is everyone going? Now we have only 4 come back come back!!!!

they are afraid to join because if the postman finds out, they won't get their bill from ComEd and they will end up sitting in the dark and be unable to create art about where their swaps have gone.......it's a vicious cycle of conspiracy devised by the hacks in government....

ArtsOnFire 06/27/2007 #

I can't join because, I've never lost a swap either coming or going....I've just jinxed myself!

lol. i have had one where the whole bottom of envie looked to be sliced. was inside a post office baggie that said damaged. it was marked "sharpie swap". the envie was empty needless to say. they wanted my sharpie that was inside.. shame shame.

user7639 06/27/2007 #

jamesdean...I hate to say this especially since we worked up this idea...but I'm gonna have to bug out :( And this is such a fun swap!! :( I'm sorry :(

i've never had one lost... never sent, though... but it's a good exercise for the creative writing muscle... it's been lazy lately. i'll have to write two different stories... and soon. Guess that means I'll have to put down the knitting. If only I had four hands...
