Description:

As a Christmas postcard collector I can't miss the chance to make my own holiday swap. :)

For this swap you will send a naked (written & stamped) Christmas postcard to each partner. 'Naked' means that they are sent without an envelope, and have stamps. Special kudos for using Christmas stamps!

Postcards are to be store-bought or professionally printed (on websites like zazzle.com). They can NOT be handmade, upcycled from folded cards or printed on your home printer. Do not send religion themed postcards unless your partner clearly states they like such.

You will have six partners. (Yeah... I thought 5 was a tad too few, but 10 is too many.)

I will angel after February 1 if necessary. Please bear in mind that international mail may take a really long time in the holiday season. I received some postcards in March last year even though they were sent in early December.

Can't wait for the holiday season to begin! Spread the joy!

I live in Australia - any ideas where can I buy Christmas postcards? What would be wrong with upcycling a folded card?

Sorry I don't know about Australia, maybe someone from the audience can help you. I personally don't like upcycled cards, so I excluded them from this swap. There are many Christmas swaps that do allow them. :)

It's the same where I live in the US, very hard to find them. I was successful on Etsy and I also found a lot on eBay.

I also know that in the USA there are many Christmas postcard books, I got some postcards from those in the previous years' swaps. Amazon has a huge assortment of those!

Hooray! I've found christmas postcards and now I can join!!! Yey!! That was not easy... I live in Israel, no Christmas...

kafekafe 11/12/2012 #

@KSENiA It's great! I've never had any Christmas postcards from Israel. Well, it's understandable... :) If you want there's another Christmas postcard swap going here: http://www.swap-bot.com/swap/show/132979 It's a 1 person from every country kind, and there's no one from Israel yet!

Guys, I moved the last day to sign up to Nov. 23 because I'll be going away from the country in the end of Nov. and I want to have enough time to write all postcards. I hope no one minds. :) I kept the send-by date though.

Paperchase sell them. Not sure if they are an international company or just UK, but thats where mine are coming from, if that helps anyone else.
