Whoops, I just used a letter envelope.

Me too. I thought KtB meant Legal Manilla envelope but then he said 4 by 9. Fun either way. Mine's going out today.

okay, I guess I meant legal sized white envelope because it can fit a tri-folded piece of 8.5 x 11 piece of paper. I forgot that those aren't manilla.

envelope variance is okay, just no Coleman coolers!

note: to anyone who has additionally said "I want in on this" in this thread, you can still join in! You DO need to send me your address to kickthebobo@gmail.com

Mailed mine today. Should get to its recipient by Monday/Tuesday. I hope my enthusiasm counts enough to make up for what I lack in execution.

uh oh. I think there might be a little miscommunication here.

We weren't planning on posting what we receive, right?

That set of Polaroid "art photos" are for the recipient's eyes only. Don't judge!

I hadn't thought that far ahead. Now I'm scared.

I got mine, and it was awesome! Thanks yesno!

And no, no nekkid photos in mine. But a combination of Virgil and a rainbow sticker that cannot fully be described correctly.

Glad you got it intact! I would describe it as "the kind of thing you have to do when you're not an artist but have volunteered to be part of an art project." Using leftover art paper from artist wife.

Got mine today as well.   Very awesome senorcorazon. 

My girlfriend, who hasn't been able to eat pizza in years due to a wheat allergy, just keeps staring at it and repeating "this makes so much sense".

Whoa - "not an artist"?! I was under the impression this was for serious artists only! Who let this impostor in here?


Mailing mine out today, btw.
I'm warning you with peace and love.

I got mine yesterday. Brightened my day. Thanks, Blake. I especially like the old timey picture of the cow and the guys on the farm in Maryland.

I got mine from Steve in Bloomington last night! It's a rebus puzzle, so I should be able to solve it in another year or so.

Thanks Steve! It's super cool!

I am mailing mine now - my first wacky project went awry, so I had to go to plan B.

Mailed mine out today. I've decided to take the idea and use it as a preliminary for my painting for class. heehee

I basically cleaned out my junk-papers drawer, to a certain extent.

Oh- and I thank JustSheaNo for the delightfully lovely elephant cutout piece! Very marvelous.
