- Finished edges are preferred 
(use sharpie, gold leaf pen, paint, etc)

- Honor yourself and others with your best effort

- Sign the back

- Please let me know if it's ok/not ok to publish your inchies on this blog, on Instagram, or on my FB page

How it works:
You will send me 12 inchies and I will send 12 back to you from a pool of players. You will receive one of your inchies back plus 11 more from other people.

Last day to mail to me is April 20th.
Include $3 in cash or stamps for the return trip.

  1. I've never done one of these before and I'm excited for it. So if I got really attached to one word I could use the same word in all 12 inchies? Since each one will go to a different person? Is it okay if there is some dimension to them?

    1. That would be fine Mary - perhaps you could allow for the postal delay and get them to me sooner than the 15th? That would be great!

  3. Sounds like fun. I miss being able to mail things properly. The postal system in this country is renowned for being very slow and for losing things.
