Write Your Way Out of a Paper Bag

Very interesting twist on the random work/item swap. Are we creative here or what?

I love the idea 2 June but glad can be flat mail as already planing my bag. LOL, all got to do is find a paper bag.LOL sMILES COL;

Partners have been assigned. Let's get swapping!

A package is en route to my partner. Enjoy the inspiration!

Received paper bag from Artistic, nicely decorated with a decorated bow. Inside was a package of Metamucil, a gauze mask as used for keeping out germs, a card from Starbucks with a free iPod download, a button which was a bird on a birdhouse, a coaster for a restaurant serving margaritas -- this is six items. I've written a somewhat grumpy short story and mailed it off to her. So now I'm waiting for my send-to partner to receive my mailing and write a story.

Not got it yet June I keep looking each day hopeing. But would have loved to have seen story u sent artistic with those items sounds interesting.

Ok I have received my items from June but as yet I have no idea in what direction I'll go in writig a story. I received a mint leaf, a paper clip, a picture of a giraffe in the wild, feather and a postage stamp. June I have no idea how you got the mint leaf and feather through our customs lol but i did get them lol as they are 2 banned objects. Oh well Now I'll see what can do ok .But I can't send till my next pay in a fortnight as I have a very short pay with bills this fortnight. Smiles Col

Mine came from @craftycoll a handmade brooch from a cancelled swap, a handcrafted card, some dark pink lace/tape, a torn printed serviette, a found shopping list, and a 6th item I'm currently forgetting. I'm not sure how to use each piece yet but I think it's going to be a very sad story of powerlessness, and each item will be random things the observer encounters. :)

Just received my paper bag of goodies. In the bag was a passionfruit flavoured lip balm, 3 Scrabble tiles: MFJ, an ornament with a saying on it, a bag of journal prompts and a string of light blue coloured beads. Oh this spells mystery to me! So might go with a someone who finds a journal under a passionfruit vine that is tied with a string of blue beads. There is only one entry: 'The love of a friend is joy to the heart', and the initials MFJ ...

My bag from AussieSilver was INCREDIBLE. And apparently I managed to live the list of stuff at home. I'll come back with the inventory.

Junemoon: Thanks for the returned story!

@AussieSilver sent me the following: a spiral notebook, postcards, a Tim Burton exhibition flier, a brownie recipe, a Melbourne city brochure, 6 pieces of heart shaped chocolate, assorted bookmarks and bookcards, two packages of chai tea and an index card.

A lot to think about. And the index card made me smile (I use those a lot in my writing!).
