Description:

I have no idea if I will get any response to this swap since it is so intensely radical, but I'm going to try anyway as I'm an extreme postcard junkie myself and I've been wanting a postcard mega-swap for a while.

You will send one (1) postcard to each of ten (10) partners for a total return of ten (10) postcards.

I know, it's EXTREME. Seeing that some hosts are tightening their swap requirements, consider this a chance to boost or upkeep your ratings. Ten five-ratings will definitely help you out of the hole you may have dug!

Postcards can be of anything. Homemade or storebought. All you HAVE to do is put your userid and the swap name on the postcard so people can actually rate you.

International. Newbies welcome. All participants must send their postcards or else they'll be on my personal BLACKLIST. (I have a lot of pent-up rage, kiddies! And I'll have PMS a few days after the sending deadline!)

Oh now, see, you scared me so bad with that PMS thing, I hadta join... and of COURSE I don't dare not send! eek! eeeek!! (insert much running around with hands in the air here)

Now... to think of what to PUT on 10 different postcards... oh my. That will be the challenge! O:) I can't send a BLANK one! hrmf.

(wanders off to ponder this)

cindynvb 06/17/2007 #

Is this international?

musicalif3 06/17/2007 #

To confirm: if it's homemade, it'd post as long as it's 4x6 inches? Anyways 10 is cool! It's not extreme, more people=more fun! :)

CherylCraftCabin 06/18/2007 #

we send blank postcards? or message to the receiver can be written on the postcards?

cooan 06/18/2007 #

cindy: yep, international as said in the description :)

musicalif3: yep! absolutely. :)

cheryl: you can write on it whatever you want. i'm just saying if you don't want to, you don't have to... just make sure your username and the swap is on there at the VERY least. ;)

CherylCraftCabin 06/18/2007 #

Thanx cooan, just to double confirm, don't want my ugly writings spoil the beauty of the postcard...lol... I'm IN!

musicalif3 06/19/2007 #

cooan: thanks! I just bought myself a pack of semi-gloss photo paper that's thicker than normal... rubs hands I'm on this one!

E11enT 06/19/2007 #

I guess we are all junkies!

B3ntButN0tbrok3n 06/19/2007 #

this is just a request so you dont have to of course but anyone who gets me id prefer handmade postcards as im trying to build my collection right now (:

Brandi 06/19/2007 #

Hi! I think this is too cool! Anyone heard of www.postcrossing.com It's neat. You send postcards and receive postcards. It's been lots of fun! I will send 10! I hope to get 10!

~Brandi~Ohio

TerryF 06/19/2007 #

cooan: 66 participants! And you thought no one would go for 10 PCs! You go girl! lol

cooan 06/20/2007 #

I am totally shocked... I seriously thought it would be too much mail for most people! I am glad there are so many junkies ;D

KofoedMedia 06/22/2007 #

I've been working on postcards, and I have enough to complete this swap (and another I'm in... 15 cards in all!). I'm jazzed to see what will come in the mail from everybody else! Carmen

sugarbooger 06/23/2007 #

i would love to join if there was one for non-homemade cards.

cooan 06/24/2007 #

sugarbooger: i think a majority of people send non-homemade... i know i do! i receive very, very few homemade postcards in any of the swaps i'm in. :)

gonegg 06/25/2007 #

postcards can have anything on the front?

cooan 06/25/2007 #

yup, anything you so desire

cooan 06/26/2007 #

wow! over 100 people! and here i thought i wouldn't even get the 10 required!

user8565 06/26/2007 #

yes, lots of folks, that is good, more variety

user7363 06/26/2007 #

EmilyPostPunk 06/26/2007 #

And there I was just yesterday thinking "I sure do have a lot of postcards stashed for a rainy day..."

gonegg 06/27/2007 #

PostMuse 06/27/2007 #

Wow! 1130 (at last look) postcards traveling worldwide from just this swap alone.

cooan 06/28/2007 #

postmuse: holy crap... i never thought of it that way

mcall 06/28/2007 #

Okay...my 10 are ready..this is cool

JabberwockyPrincess 06/28/2007 #

cooan 06/29/2007 #

Hehe, let's go guys!

PostMuse 06/29/2007 #

Wow...I wrote and wrote and wrote and now they are in the mail. Time for my 4th cup of coffee.

B3ntButN0tbrok3n 06/29/2007 #

ok sorry in advance mine are going to be handmade is there something wrong with that?

PostMuse 06/29/2007 #

I love handmade. Just couldn't get myself together to make 10 postcards. The swaps description indicates that handmade is fine.

Brandi 06/29/2007 #

Kudos to the people who took the time to handmake their cards! Unfortunately, I couldn't this time.

angeldiva 07/ 5/2007 #

Trust me, no one would have wanted a handmade postcard by me, it would probably have been deformed! LOL Paper crafts and drawing and such are not my strong suit ;)

I also received a postcard from someone in Oklahoma of The Queen but they didn't write anything on the card so I don't know who they are. If whoever sent it would let me know I'll give you a rating! :)

Whoooa, had to look back at the description when I saw how many comments about handmade cards. My regular old everyday cards are heading to the post tomorrow: 3 to USA 1 to Canada (home for me) 3 to Oz 1 to Malaysia 1 to Singapore and 1 to Germany! How cool is that! Thanks for the swap.

TerryF 07/13/2007 #

Tokyo Cowboy sent me the most lovely PC - will post a pic later (off on holidays - yay!).

TerryF 07/13/2007 #

fivegallonbucket sent me a great PC with a recipe on the back - very thoughful! Thx!

Clayshaper 07/13/2007 #

Mine hit the Post Office yesterday.

A number of the 1's/3's/complaints I have gotten are that my post office apparently is slow or prone to losing postcards- please PM/Email me before panicing. I can always resend a postcard with no big drama... just... no more drama over them being 'late' or not arriving, OK?

They're in the mail NOW! Let me know if they don't arrive, and we can FIX it, instead of harbouring problems around it, OK?

Also, my forgiveness to those who recieve the 'naked mole rat' cards. Hint: NEVER let a 9 year old help you pick out postcards. ;)

KofoedMedia 07/14/2007 #

I received a neat card of a man (fully clothed in suit and hat) in the shower. Strange, but fun! Thanks for swapping! Carmen

mpontalba 07/17/2007 #

Thanks to the three who sent the cards I just received! Lots of variety showing up in my mailbox, from sweet birds to slightly psychedelic looking tourist cards. Love 'em.

carniemichelle 07/18/2007 #

Cheryl, Ellen, babysingsing, just wondering if your cards have got to you yet

KofoedMedia 07/19/2007 #

Carmen

Sorry all. I sent my postcards on July 13, but due to computer problems have not been able to get online untill today, Aug. 3. All of my partners should have gotten their cards long before now. Now that my computer is fixed I shall be online to take care of business. Janet

jeanland 08/24/2007 #
