Description:

If everyone who has a postcard could please post in the forum whose card they have, I would appreciate it. We have had a flaker and I am trying to track down whose card she has. Thanks

This will be a series of swaps, generally run each fortnight. I've seen a number of variations of this swap and thought it would be fun (and cheaper!) to do an Aussie version.

You may join in at any time, but please commit to the series.

If this is your first round: Choose a postcard to send to your partner. This will end up being yours to keep, so choose one you like! Write YOUR OWN address on the postcard and then one line at the top - The date, your name/swapbot name and the city and state you are from. Put postage on the postcard so it can get sent back to you when it is full. Then, send the postcard to your partner IN AN ENVELOPE. (Which means you will have postage on the postcard and on the envelope you send it in, just for this first round).

If you are continuing on from previous rounds: With the postcard you received from the last round, add another line - the date, your name/swapbot name and the city and state you are from. Then send the postcard IN AN ENVELOPE to your partner. If you happen to be sending back to the original owner of the card, but there is still room for more rounds, continue to send it on in an envelope so that it can continue on in the following rounds.

When you receive a postcard that is full, send it home WITHOUT AN ENVELOPE to the original owner of the postcard (whose address will be on the postcard itself).

At the end of the series, you will get back the postcard you started and can see where it travelled - hopefully it will visit many different places across Australia!

The more people we get to join this series, the further your postcard will travel. Please note there is no obligation to sign up to every swap in the series, but please do join as many as you can to make it fun for everyone. You can also drop out of the series at any time by talking to me and the other swap participants to try to get your postcard sent back to you.

For each round, please try to only fill ONE line on the postcard so as to leave as much room as possible for lots of rounds. Of course, if it's a small postcard you may need 2 lines, this is ok.

When you receive a postcard you send home, you may start a new postcard for yourself and send to your swap partner, or if you do not wish to start another postcard, send a note/letter etc to your partner so that they get something and can rate you.

Please don't hoard someone else's postcard. If you decide you no longer want to participate in the series, please talk to me about sending any postcards you have to myself or to the original owner.

All swappers allowed who are in good standing. Due to the nature of the series I will ban anyone with questionable ratings, although I think we will be fine in this group :)

Any questions, please ask :)

I hope it's not mine!!! I'm not home until Monday so I will check then to see whose card I have.

JenniferB 06/24/2016 #

I have the start of a new card that was sent to me by @HOLDENV84 Laura that belongs to Jessica Camilleri.

Like you Mel...hope it's not mine also.

HOLDENV84 06/27/2016 #

@JenniferB I had to start a new one as the person that was supposed to send on her swap didn't, so I started a new one.

@keruka I have my own card back at the moment

mellyrose89 06/27/2016 #

Sarah I have yours :)

JenniferB 07/ 3/2016 #

As this is a new card I have, I will be dropping from this round cause I'm partnered to the owner of it. Till #11....cheers!

Does anyone have mine?

JenniferB 07/ 3/2016 #

Oh...I can't LOL I'll be starting a new one. Silly me 😜😜😜😜

Keruka 07/ 5/2016 #

Sorry Jen lol. I have yours @JenniferB and will be sending on to Melanie today. Which means that @JenniferB @HOLDENV84 and mine are accounted for. @mellyrose89 I will try to track yours down!

So ladies interest has waned from this swap and many who joined in at the start are no longer playing... which makes it hard for those of us sticking it out! As most of those who have been playing since the beginning have cards that are almost full, I propose we put an end to this series, at least as it is now. I suggest that after this round anyone who has a card that is full (or mostly) post it back to the original owner. Then, if anyone has a missing card or one very un-full, we can do a round-robin with anyone who wants to participate in the forum. This way we can send as an actual round robin - person 1 to person 2 to person 3 etc rather than getting the automated swap partnering which can be a bit frustrating. It means we won't be able to rate each other, but I think we're all pretty reliable? How does that sound?

If we do it this way, Jen, and you don't want to start another card you can just send a little flat surprise to your partner this round, if they are happy for that.

I have a feeling that the flaker had my postcard :(

JenniferB 07/ 7/2016 #

I've sent new one to @HOLDENV84 but happy to enter into the round robin or returned back. Held back on sending Jessica's new one back to her. All good @Keruka 👌
