!!!!!!!IMPORTANT!!!!!!!! I have extended the date an extra 2 days because I feel that we could use a little bit more time.

Flat Envie - Shocking on the outside and a surprise within.

Lets send some mail that will shock our postmen. I want this to be a very fun swap, so make it very noticeably and as odd as you'd like. Use drawings, pasted or copied pictures, photos, and text. Send something that your partner will immediately notice when it arrives in their mailbox.

So, one envie flat rate to one partner.

UPDATE! PLEASE READ!! This is what I found upon further research.It is from the usps.com Mailability Terms.

13.5.4 Lewd or Filthy Matter

Obscene, lewd, lascivious, or filthy publications or writings, or mail containing information on where, how, or from whom such matter may be obtained, and matter that is otherwise mailable but that has on its wrapper or envelope any indecent, lewd, lascivious, or obscene writing or printing, and any mail containing any filthy, vile, or indecent thing is nonmailable (18 USC 1461, 1463).

Which sounds...intimidating, though I think if we cover the naughty bits and try to keep it more PG-13/R area we should be fine. I also think that we can come up with a way around this, to keep everyone more comfortable about mailing such envies. I suggest that we all 'laminate' our envies once we are done creating them. Be it by simply applying a layer of clear masking tape, or some other sealant sort. Then we can tape a black out bar across any 'too naughty' bits, but our partners will still be able to remove the black bar upon arrival. However, I am not requiring this of anyone, I simply wish everyone to receive their envie!

I am also extending the date to account for any changes that need to be made.
