Description:
I love denim and lace together. For this swap use the denim as a major part of your background and add some pretty lace. Be creative - add beads and make it your own. You can mail your card any way you prefer, I usually use the clear envies and a 64 cent stamp (within the USA) and have the post office hand cancel it. But - I have sent some out in regular envies depending on the embellishments. I have not send one out completely naked, but you can - your choice.

does this have to be mailed naked or can it be in an envelope?

Either way is okay, I send mine in the clear envelopes with a 64 cent stamp on it and have it hand cancelled at the post office, but I have sent some in regular envelopes depending on the embellishments, I have not been brave enough to actually send one out completely naked.

I would have loved to join this, but I am away on holiday at the crucial time.

Maybe we can host a second round if this one is successful.

Bad timing for me too unfortunately. (";)

By the way, I received a quilted and heavily hand beaded fabric PC from South Africa a few years ago - naked (the PC, not me) - and it was 100% intact!

I have sent all my pcs naked. Haven't had a problem yet. Be sure everything is securely fastenend. Mine don't tend to have anything floppy hanging off.

Fabricmom - sounds like a great idea! TerryF and magpie55 - thanks for the information - I will send one out naked, I have a few swaps going that don't have many or any embellishments.
