I like to make stuff, I like to write and I like to meet new people, and I like to make people smile. These things were on my mind as I was thinking of an appropriate project to start the half of 2011. Since April (or was it March?) of this year that I have joined Swap-Bot and have been really pleasantly surprised by all the creative and wonderful people I have received packages and letters from. It’s just a great feeling to look into your mailbox and find something more than junk mail or bills in it.
The LetterBox Project is a simple project born out of my budding passion for Snail Mail and especially Mail Art and also because I like making friends. So how does this project actually work? Simple enough, below is a list of the types of mail that I want to send out. You can fill up the sign-up form below (please remember to leave your email!) and indicate what type of mail you’d like to receive, and I would email you to confirm your address and given an x number of days (as sometimes STUFF happens) you would be able to receive pretty mail from me!
INSTANT GRATIFICATION
This part is easy enough choose ONE from any of the options below and I will send it to you! When filling up the LetterBox application form please clearly indicate what you want to receive choosing from the Categories and then write the specific on the text box
POSTCARD – I like to send postcards because it’s super quick and easy to alter, write on and send. If you want me to send you a postcard please indicate whether you want to receive Any Postcard (store bought postcard) or Altered Postcard. If you want to receive a Singapore postcard, please do choose Any Postcard – Singapore.
MAIL ART – I am still in the experimental stage (read: finding my way) through Mail Art. Here’s what I have to offer, you can choose if you want to receive either an ATC or a JOURNAL PAGE, for samples of my budding work here are photos of my past ATC swaps and photos of my journal pages.
* If you want me to send you an ATC or journal page based on a theme I am totally up for it, just write the request within the application form before you submit 
LETTERS – If you like old-school and would love a letter, I have some nice choices for you Diary Letter (think Charlie from The Perks of Being a Wallflower), Story Letter (I’ll send you one of the stories I wrote), or a List Letter ( I list random stuff) .
I FEEL LUCKY – not really sure what you want? Just choose “I Feel Lucky” and I will send you something that hopefully will not just surprise you but really make you smile!
FOR THE COMMITTED
I would even be happier if I could gain more pen pals and maybe sometimes swap a package! Just choose the Pen Pals or Private Swap option and I’ll get back to you ASAP!
PEN PALS – I am always open to new pen pals, if you want to correspond with me on a regular basis (I accept both email and snail mail requests) then we can be long-term pen-pals!
PRIVATE SWAPS/PACKAGES – I am open and willing to participate in private swaps as time and resources allow. It can be an ATC swap, whimsy jar swap or any other themed swap.
