August Swap: Jungle Fever

When it comes to package swapping, PRODUCTION is an animal!

1. A trio of items - pretty paper peacocks, currently living in my houseplants +1

2. A square of ornate paper - not this time, my clever friend.

3. Something found locally - nothing that I noticed…you should correct me if I’m wrong, buddy!

4. A postcard - I do not get how she keeps improving on each postcard, but the bevvy of pugs is freaking amazingness +1

5. Something odd-sized - er?

6. Two things that go together - anemone and snail, a timeless duo +1

7. Something funny - fly pin! funny haha +1

8. Something seasonal —-> changed to something old, used or vintage…maybe the peacocks? they look pretty retro +1

9. Something edible - fish ring pop! +1

10. Something found in nature - mother-of-pearl shell +1

11. An organizational item - paper clips! I’m not sure how she was aware of this, but I actually have a fetish about non-standard paperclips and was just starting to stress out about running out of my weird ‘W’-shaped ones. Extra point +2

12. Something international - fly pin clearly labeled Made in Japan, where they understand the true meaning of funny +1

+13. An animal - Umm…like EVERYTHING! +1

14. Packages must be sent by the 25th (judging by the cancellation date on the stamp) - one day late. rough.

15. $15 max (not including postage) +1

Final Score 12/15 - It’s getting harder to meet all the requirements and still stay under $15! I’m not sure who’s going to take it this month…see how I did over PRODUCTION!

P.S. I think that little green and pink thing is supposed to be an anemone, but I prefer to think of it as a snow cap for my finger.
