OMG! It's Naked Mail Again!

YAY! YAY! YAY! and did I say YAY!

I am so happy...I can't wait to do this again. I just send my best friend [who happens to be my MIL] a set of funnels naked because she loved what I received / sent in the last swap.

I am putting it on the Watchlist until it is closer to March 2, but you can ABSOLUTELY count me in!

me too ... I watchlist about all of my swaps until the sign up date ... if something comes up I don't have to drop out at the last minute ... and if a "quickie" swap comes up I am not at my limit... I'll be signing up at the end ... thanks

ok, what would you send~sorry to ask a dumb question? It sound fun just not exactly sure what this is??? Forgive the silly ?

@reationsbysamantha ..you can send anything you want from the dollar store or that costs one dollar. Just make sure it's strong enough to go thru the postal system. All you have to do is put on and address label, and send it on your way. If one postal worker won't accept it, go to another, or to another PO. I sent an apple shaped cutting board with a pack of post it notes taped on in the last swap, and I just recieved a children's bouncing ball in the mail yesterday! BTW, it's not a silly question... sending naked mail is a different concept!

creationsbysamantha --I sent out a soft rubber baby piggy bank, and received a realistic looking plastic apple. In another swap I made and sent out a wooden cut out Swedish Goat about 10" high and wide. Anything you can stick a label and postage on will go--they don';t like glass or anything that could break into the machines, or liquids though. One mail art group sent a piece of toast!

I am glad to see the enthusiasm again in this swap, lets get more people playing so we can catch up with the last one, we had 32 then. Invite your friends, and let them know how much fun it is!

I think the first swap was one of the MOST positive swapping experiences I have had here. I had SO much fun, my postal worker got a huge kick out of it, heck even my teenager thought it was funny.

I sent a plastic cow and received a sewing kit [there was just enough room on the cows butt for the postage]

I'm so glad you started a new one!!!!! Thank you :)

sounds awesome! can't wait!

anyone have pics? this would be a fun flickr group :)

I guess we could take pics and start a flickr group, if you'd set it up, because I haven't got a clue on how to do it! Speaking of what was sent out and recieved, I sent an apple shaped plastic cutting board and I taped some fun post it notes on it, and I recived a SpongeBob kids bouncy ball (that my baby doxie stole from me!)

Here I am!!

I LOVED the last one...and so everyone understands the type of things you can send I will give you a few examples of what I know was sent and received:

A plastic banana; A $1 silver type tray; a set of 3 funnels; a jar of peanut butter; the aforementioned rubber piggy bank....

and Susi I am laughing about your doxie...mine wanted the dang banana I received. No deal!!!!

Halfwaythere - the sentence "There was just enough room on the cows butt for postage" will stay with me for days to come. And always bring a smile...thank you!

I LOVE THIS SWAP!

PS - a flickr group would be hysterical and a lot fo fun! and mine posted twice, sorry guys.

I just went and picked out something, I am SO EXCITED :) I take a photo once it's addressed then post it to the swap after it's received. But if someone starts a flickr group let me know!

hee hee hee..mine is addressed and posted...i can't wait until the postman sees it in the mailbox tomorrow...LOL...:) [Hubby picked it out because he LOVES this swap too! and I must say he did a great job - useful and fun!]

twobluecrows... i was the recipient of the swedish goat and it still has a place of honor on my desk....i just love it!!!!

My item is chosen too, and ready to mail. I also have a stand bye if anyone gets flaked on (which hopefully won't happen!).I am going to investigate flickr to see if I can figure out how to make a group, so we can get one started!

I have started a flickr group for us to post our pictures of what we've received, you can also post what you're going to send if you'd like. I made the group for invitation only so that only those of us who have participated in these swaps can join. (at least I think I did!) anyway, the addy is

http://www.flickr.com/groups/naked_mail/

come join the group!

I'm in a little dilemma about mailing my Naked Mail--it's kind big and floppy, and if I fold it in half (it stores that way in my house now) and stick a little piece of tape on it, is it still naked? I labeled and stamped right on the item, so it's ready to go, but I don't know if I should really "let it all hang out" or put that little bit of tape to make it a little safer. (some postal worker may just do it anyway)

Opinions?

I have mine ready too. I can not wait to see what I get.

twobluecrows... i think that still quailifies as naked.

my item is going out today

Hi! Big lover of Naked Mail here!

I just wanted to let everyone know that Twobluecrows lost her son last week and will be away for an undetermined amount of time.

Please wish her well. She is a nice lady and a great swapper.

Have a great week y'all. Skippy

I checked the group today, and I don't see any new members other than myself, but I may have people who are wanting to get in and can't. Since I am so new to flickr, I may need some help. I have one pic up and some comments made, but they aren't on the same page. Anyway, people who have flickr knowledge of experience, please let me know, so we can get this going!

As for my naked mail, I sent mine off the other day, plus I sent the same thing to Germany to see if it will get through. I think I sent a pretty safe item, but really fun, but I think my partner will like it! I know the postal clerks got a great laugh out of it!

I just sent my swap item and it was so much fun. I had to wait in line at the post office for 20 min but everyone in line got a chuckle out of my item. A postal worker wasn't too happy that I told someone that you CAN send naked mail. Oh, well I'm already ready for the next one!

I got my naked mail today! BlueDragonfly sent me a neat red ice scraper! Came through in perfect condition.

I WIN for the FUNNIEST, COOLEST naked mail swap of all time....I am now the proud owner of An Easter Bunny MR. POTATO HEAD.....MOOWEE YOU ROCK!

[shaking my head] How in the world will I ever top this?...giggle

PS...I know this isn't a contest...what I meant was I felt like I won the lottery today - the Potato Head is so cooooool.

...and I thought an orange lint brush that smelled like Bounce fabric softener was da' bomb. I have to up my game :)

I just joined the flickr group and will post a photo in a day or two

resending to my partner since my first item has gone missing.

I just received mine today. Maybe because they are naked they take a bit longer?

This swap was Da Bomb! I got a giant toothbrush, GIANT! About a foot long. My grandson claimed it and has been walking around in hog heaven :)

I hope you do more!!!

Looks like the person that I sent mine to is suspended : (
