Description:

This is one of a monthly series of quotecard postcard swaps held to share a little zinger of wisdom/humour/etc with your partners. It is a pretty basic postcard swap. The only catch is that it MUST contain one of your favourite quotes, but that can be either an old friend or a newly discovered favourite. The postcard can be handmade or commercial. If it is handmade, you can incorporate your quote into the design if you prefer; otherwise you must write it on the back of the card.

Please say where the quote is from or give the credit where it's due. You may use quotes in languages other than English, but if you do, please include a translation for your partner. Do not forget to include the swap name and your user name on the card!

You will send out 3 of these cards, one to each partner, possibly across the globe. They should be postmarked! Please DO NOT send in an envelope.

I will ban if I see multiple no-sends or have any other reason to believe you will not be a good swap partner. Newbies are welcome!! (but must have a filled out profile.)

Happy swapping to all! Please contact me if you have any questions.

Note: This swap series was originated by @nicole who later handed it over to me.

This should be a fun, low-pressure swap, so don't feel you have to do a lot of research unless you want to do that.I have a Notepad file in which I save quotations that I like, so I don't usually need to search for them for my Quotecards, but when I want quotes on a particular theme, I put:

[theme keywords] quote OR quotation

into a search engine. I get links to some general quotation sites but also ones which only have quotes on that theme, which often have many more than the general sites.

Some general ones:

The Quote Garden

Think exist

Quotations Book

Quotations Home Page

Quoteland

The Quotations Page

The Quotations Archive

TCPN Quotations

WikiQuote

Hosts cannot assign partners until the day after the last sign up date, and then they have a week to do so. They need to check out all the participants before they assign partners, which can take a while if there are a lot of participants, but I will try to do it on June 16 or 17.

You should get an email telling you that partners have been assigned, but you can also check by looking at the swap on your Dashboard - at the moment the last line says "Partners Assigned: No" and that will change to Yes. You then need to go to the swap home page and in the box at top right, under "Swap member options", there will be a link to "See the partners you send to".

The next swap in the series, Quotecard Postcard #26 has now been created. I hope to see a lot of you in that one too.

can i do something a little different and write quotes that i find and like that have to do with something on my partners profiles? i want want to stray too far from what the rules are though so i'm just checking first before i write and send out.

spinjenny 06/21/2009 #

katehawk, are you asking whether the quotes can be tailored to your partner rather than being your own favourites? If so, then certainly they can be. I think a lot of us try to use quotes we think will particularly appeal to our partners. I have a huge file of quotes, all of which I like, so if I am reminded of one of them while reading a partner's profile, I will use that.

My pc's were mailed today to partners in Canada and the US. Enjoy!

It now more than 2 weeks since the Send deadline for this swap. I have got in touch with the partners of the only member who has not yet marked Sent. If others of you have not received after a reasonable time, bearing in mind where your partners live, please try to contact them. If you cannot resolve it between you, please PM me, as I will not be checking the comments for this swap any more
