Description:

I love those postcards that have kitschy/outdated/corny jokes and photographs on them – I think they’re hilarious! Some examples of the postcards I’m speaking of (if you happen to have not seen any) are:

  • "San Diego at Night" (all black postcard)
  • "A corny postcard from Arizona" (photo of corn as the background)
  • "I finally found a winter home in Minnesota" (picture of a small fishing shed on a frozen lake)
  • Postcards of city airports or other unusual locations
  • Another favorite postcard I have is of a kid with French fries stuck in his nose!

I hope you get the idea! If you have questions, please let me know. You will have three partners to send one postcard to. International swappers welcome. Newbies with full profiles are welcome to join this swap. Ratings below 4.5 will be banned.

** Your postcard doesn't have to be a touristy photograph type postcard - it can be of anything, drawings, etc, as long as its got a kitschy/corny feel to it!

** You may also send used postcards (such as the ones you'd find from thrift stores with writing already on them) but be sure to put your name and the name of the swap onto the postcard on it so your partner knows who to rate. Just make sure the front image fits the theme!
