Day Three: Sharing Colours & A Swap


We're drawing inspiration from Old Skool colour meme we did back in 2006 (Yes, 2006!)
PLUS this wouldn't be an Old Skool blogathon without a SWAP!

SWAP DETAILS!

The Swapage: 1 Inspiration Envelope
This may including any fun, colourful, inspiring goodness that fits in 1 letter-size envelope that you will mail (Yes, snail mail! We're going old skool after all!) to one of your fellow Kickin' It Old Skool swappers. Think poems, stickers, cut-outs, quotes, bookmarks or heck... even a letter!

To participate in the SWAP: email Jamie your mailing address
by Thursday December 5, 2013 at 12midnight EST
and you will get your swap buddy's details on Friday December 6, 2013.
The plan is for the swap to be sent in the mail by Monday December 9, 2013 so everyone can receive their goodies by the end of the blog-a-thon.
