Two Ways to Tell Your Own Story

It’s time to get your creative juices flowing!
Two easy and fun ways:
1. The First Luckypacket Postcard Swap!
I think it’s high time we kicked off our first eLuckypacket postcard exchange. I posted about this recently and many of you were keen.
Here’s the plan:
- If you haven’t already, post a comment below or send me an email (editor@eluckypacket.com) to let me know you want to participate.
- I’ll put all the names in a hat, draw out two at a time and then send each person their partner’s email address. I hope to do this by April 15th.
- Once you have your partner’s email address, you can swap postal addresses and send each other a real-life postcard from the city or town where you live. You can buy a card or make your own by hand but make sure it illustrates the place where you live. On the back, tell your partner a bit about yourself and your home town. Then pop your card in the mail by April 25th.
- When you receive your postcard, take a digital picture of the front and back and email it to me. I’ll pick a couple to post here on eLuckypacket and also add all of the fronts of the cards to our Flickr group pool.
Sound like fun? I think so. Let’s get started and I’ll remind you as we go about the dates.
Later this year I’d like to do a full luckypacket exchange – yup, you get to exchange a parcel of goodies and girly treats with another eLuckypacket reader living somewhere else in the world!
2. Tell Your South-African Story and Win a Digital Camera!
Am I ever jealous I don’t get a shot at that one! Those of you who do, go for it!
