Description:

To join this swap, you must be a member of the Swap-Bot Happy Birthday Club (BDC), have a fully completed profile, and have no more than 1 no send in the last 6 months. Newbies are welcome.

It's easy and free to join the BDC, and there is no obligation in doing so - please see the message with the most current details about halfway down the page at this link:

http://www.swap-bot.com/forums/topic/756/7

I reserve the right to decide who participates in this swap and will ban after the sign-up deadline. If you have any concerns, please pm me.

Now for the fun part:

I really wish I had the time to handmake all of my cards for the BDC, but I just don't. This swap will give us all a head start in getting ready for the 2008 birthdays.

For this swap, we will be making 3 cards or postcards for each of our 4 partners, for a total of 12 cards or post cards. They must be suitable for mailing as birthday cards/PCs but should not have any words on them so that all of our members, including those whose first language is not English, can use them. Please include envelopes with the cards. PCs do not require them (please do not complete the backs of the PCs, again, for language reasons).

The mix of cards vs PCs, as well as the styles, will be sender's choice but, if your partners have colour preferences in their profiles, please take those into consideration. Please do not make any special requests below.

Any materials or media are fine, including digital images, as long as they involve some effort and creativity on your part. Please make and send something you would love to receive yourself.

The cards/PCs should be thin and light enough to mail with just a regular postage stamp, so please be careful about chunky embellishments. (I know that my PCs are sometimes too thick for a regular stamp so I plan to send a little extra cash along to make up the postage difference, but that is NOT a requirement of this swap as long as you keep your cards/PCs thin/light enough.)

I am giving everyone plenty of time to make their cards. Anyone who flakes will be banned from the BDC forever, so please do not join this swap if you are not sure you can make and send 12 cards by November 19!

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Have fun!

Aww this sounds awesome.. I don't think I could possibly make that many, especially since I'm moving to college and goodness knows what I'll be up to, then.

If anyone else feels they could only manage to have maybe one partner and send like 4 cards... I would love to do a 1-on-1 like this. :D

dulcimer, chaitea, happycactus and babybear76 i sent your swaps this morning from norway.

TerryF 11/15/2007 #

babybear76 has over 30 one ratings right now - all of this happened after the sign-up date for this swap.

If her sending partners choose not to send to her, please know that you do so at your own risk as she could come back and give you a 1 rating. I personally sent to her anyway to protect myself.

dulcimer, chaitea and HappyCactus (I am her 4th receiving partner), if you do not receive from her I will make sure you get your swaps one way or the other, although it will probably have to wait until after Christmas now! So much to do, so little time....lol

I have sent each of you a pm about this. Please pm me if you have any questions or concerns. Ain't this fun?

Cards for dulcimer, chaitea and HappyCactus are all done and will be mailed out by December 29.
