You may send zazzle or etsy cards for this swap if you choose BUT please make certain image quality is excellent. I received some recently and they were AMAZING! Great quality and very interesting. For this swap, only 2 touristy postcards will be allowed. This should not be an issue since zazzle and etsy cards are allowed. Remember...you only have to come up with 6 of the 12, and one of those can be sender's choice! Participants must have a 4.9 rating and been rated for 10 Type 2/Type 3 swaps.

I love these swaps and am pretty disappointed that only 2 touristy pcs are allowed now. Many of the categories are touristy, and I don't think I have enough pcs in my collection to make up the difference. Oh well, maybe next round!

What are zazzle and ety cards?

@emilynhr ..I got complaints from more than one person that they were receiving ALL touristy postcards from THE SAME PLACE so I thought I'd go with 2 for this round. I think some folks might buy a bunch of pc's from their area and just make that "fit" the category. I will definitely change it up next round or create one of each.

@soyprincesa2 ...www.zazzle.com is an online place to buy postcards created by artists and others...LOTS of great selection...the same with etsy. I have gotten two AMAZING postcards from etsy....go to www.etsy.com and search for "mail a whale postcard" and see what comes up--they are AMAZING! I have both a humpback and a killer! Also, www.amazon.com is a fantastic place to pick up books of postcards for a penny (plus shipping, of course).

I travel a lot so I have pcs from different places, plus I reswap ones I receive in scavenger hunts but most of mine are still touristy. I'll have to sit this out. If it was reversed-that we could have 4 touristy and 2 non I could do that but paying about $2 per non-touristy card like I did on vacation this summer I can't part with 4 at once.

@isabellasnow am I correct in thinking that we may use Antarctic cards and not just Arctic ones? I happen to have some Antarctic postcards and since you mentioned penguins, which are only found in the Antarctic, I am inferring that you meant to be generally inclusive of themes involving either pole. Let me know if I am off base and thanks!

Oh yes, of course! I actually had no idea that penguins are only found in the Antarctic. Thanks for teaching me something new!
