Description:

Real simple swap. :) The vitals:

  • International swap
  • Just one partner (send one, get one - simple!)
  • Storebought postcard (online postcard services like Zazzle, Cafepress, etc. are ok)
  • Postcard is to be sent "naked" (stamped, written on - NOT in an envelope).
  • Be sure to write the swap name and your Swap Bot username on the back of your card.
  • Sender's choice, but it's always best to read your partner's profile to at least make sure you don't send something they actively dislike - and if possible, pick the one they will really love.

The theme:

Please send your partner one postcard on the theme of "magical places". Interpret this how you wish, but some examples to consider: elaborate treehouses, gardens inhabited by many whimsical statues, doorways that look like the entrance to secret gardens. Your postcard must be PHOTOGRAPHY; no art prints such as watercolor, colored pencil, etc. Little to no Photoshop/editing - subtle tweaks are ok, scatters of stars and swirls for example are not. You're looking for pictures of real places, that look like magic could or did take place there. Please write on the back what made you choose the card, why it feels like a magical place to you. (And maybe even decorate it with some glittery pens or magical stickers!)

The "fine print"

If there is enough interest, I can make this a repeating swap. (Once a month or something like that.)

Newbies welcome with well filled out profiles (at least 3 paragraphs - if you are stumped, browse around at other people's profile to get ideas). Established swappers must have at least a rating of 4.5 to join. If you have less than that and really want to play, feel free to contact me about a personal swap.

I will wait til the last day to ban anyone not meeting the requirements, no need to drop if you're concerned about flakers. If you do get flaked on, contact me and I can angel - but be sure you try to contact your partner first, of course. :)

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask me - but send me a message thru my profile, as I'll see that much quicker than a comment posted below.

can ew make a postcard using a photo we took of a place that is magical to us? (instead of store bought)...

Sorry for the delay in replying, I always forget to check on the comments. You may use your own photography provided it is professionally printed - using Zazzle, Cafepress, etc. This is a quick swap though, so I'm not sure if you can get them done that way in time - you may be able to find a local option though.
