Description:
Welcome to my very first swap! :o) For this swap, you will send your partner 1 naked and stamped (a "real" stamp) Zazzle-type or store-bought postcard, and describe what you see when you look through your kitchen window. The subject of the pc itself is sender's choice, but it's ALWAYS a good idea to check your partner's profile. Send only pc's that are good quality, clean, and undamaged! Vintage are fine as long as they meet these requirements. Be sure to write the swap name and your profile name on the pc! I will be checking profiles, and if I don't like what I'm seeing, you will not be allowed to participate. This is not meant to be unfriendly, but to protect! I will angel if necessary, after you've rated your partner a 1. If you flake, you'll be banned from any future swaps I may host. Questions? Use the comment box below - I will be checking it daily. :o) Important! If you aren't open to receiving Zazzle-type or "touristy" pc's, perhaps it's best that you don't join this swap - if you are my partner, you will receive one or the other. I know there are others in the same boat. I hope this doesn't make me seem like a tyrant, just trying to cover things that make for unhappy swap partners - I want everyone to have fun with this!

What is a "zazzle" PC? I Love tourist PC's

@transplanted1 Zazzle.com is an online source for postcards (and many other products) that are computer-generated. You can have postcards made from your own photos/artwork for your personal use, or sell them on Zazzle. As everyone is not a great photographer or artist, there are good and bad. There are many that are great! I only buy, and one of my favorite stores on Zazzle is National Geographic. :o) Another is ProPhoto. There are many others that I wouldn't hesitate to recommend. The subject variety is amazing!

Zazzle pc's are a bit smaller than store-bought (which are generally 4"x6", though not always), and don't have the serial numbers that are important to "serious" pc collectors. Zazzle pc's (and their type, such as Moo and Pomegranate) are great for swappers who don't have easy access to store-bought (I get my SB pc's at my local truckstop, as do many others), and aren't concerned about the monetary value of their collection.

I am so sorry! I sent this out on Friday but for some reason the internet connection was so bad, I was not really able to get on to mark it.
