Snail Mail Game Show | Uncustomary

The Snail Mail Game Show is still going strong! For Round 8, the participantsย received a piece of paper with the outline of a suitcase and the prompt, “I come in your bedroom and yell, ‘WE’RE LEAVING! WE HAVE TO GO! PACK YOUR SUITCASE NOW!’ You have no idea where we’re going or how long we’ll be gone for and you only have 15 minutes to get ready.” Here’s what people came up with!

I really like the priorities here. What do I need? CAT! Cat and cat’s things. I love my cat, too.

What to pack? How about the whole effin’ universe?! Look at those colors!

Hahah, I love all the underwear. Screw socks, pack underwear. (The best part is the tangible packing of optimism.)

Jennifer went the more three-dimensional route and made a tiny tangible suitcase! The contents include a teeny tiny pencil, stamps, stationery, and envelopes. Pack mail, send mail forever.

And the winner is… Ophelia! The scan of the image really doesn’t do her piece justice. The suitcase is full of the most gorgeous universal star stuff I’ve ever seen. Ophelia will receive a gift from me in the mail.
