Year of the S.N.A.K.E. Lucky Parcel

2013 is the Chinese Year of the Snake, the water snake to be exact. So for your partner you will send a Lucky Parcel with 5 items whose first letter spell the word SNAKE. Also include a note explaining your choice of items. You are welcome to send more than five items but five is the swap requirement.

Please don't use describing words like silly or nice as your starting letter.

Below are some suggestions for each letter and you are welcome to use any others you may think of:

S – stamps (postage or rubber), silver, sandalwood, six, sticker sheet, shrink plastic, sewing, scrapbook, scarf, spots, stencils, sharpies

N – napkins, notecards, nine

A – apple themed/scented/tasting items, atc, apricot, altered item, alphabet, aqua

K – kindyglitz, kaisercraft, knitting, kawaii

E – ephemera, earrings, eleven, embossing powder, eggshell coloured paint, eight, embroidery, envelopes, embellishments

Extended sign up and send by time frames to allow for the busy and expensive upcoming festive season.

As this is a Lucky Parcel, the swap contents DO NOT have to be profile specific but as always items must be in new or as new condition, clean, usable and of good quality. That way if the recipient does not have a use for an item it can be swapped on by them. This is not a swap for sending your unusable crap & getting something great in return. Aim to impress your partner. Items can be a combination of handmade & store bought. Most importantly, the outside of your partners lucky parcel (whether you use a fabric or cellophane bag, tin or box) must be decorated to look as wonderful as its contents are.
