Description:
Yes, polaroid has decided to stop producing much of their previous instant film cameras and supplies ... BUT there are those of us who are still NUTS for polaroid pics and who are buying up the film wherever we can find it :) So - if you are still shooting with instant polaroids (or even just joining the craze) ... this swap is for you. Here is how it goes: You will have 1 partner. Take a look at your partners profile to see what sort of things they are "in to". Take an instant photograph of something you think they will enjoy. Sign your name (or whatever else you would like) to the BACK of the photo. Then send it off to your partner in a bubble wrap envelope (so as not to warp the pic). It is that simple. Any questions? Please e-mail me asap or add to the swap discussion here. Please "heart" anyone who goes above and beyond the swap guidelines. Happy Shooting!

Recently did a private swap and got rid of my Poloroid Land Camera.

I have been buying up polaroid cameras at Goodwill. So much fun!

I actually bought a polaroid just for this swap. I've wanted one since I was a little girl and it only took me until they went out of business. lol

Howdy! I don't have a bubble wrap envelope - but I do have bubble wrap and an envelope. Can I just wrap the Polaroid in the bubble wrap and stick that in the envelope? I don't want to have to buy new materials when I can just reuse what I have. Thanks!

simindy - that would be just fine :)

Only 2 polaroids have not been sent --- and both swappers have contacted their people .... so I believe all is a success. Thank you all for participating!

Love, Jodi
