Description:

Let's keep those postcards going :-) I love sending and receiving postcards, especially those that make a long stressful day a little nicer! This swap doesn't need to be hometown postcards but instead any postcard that makes you smile or that you would enjoy receiving yourself. They can be homemade or store bought.

Send one postcard that makes you happy with a hello or brief message to each of your six swap partners. That's all that's required :-)

Participants must have at least a rating of 4 to participate, new members please have a profile filled out.

And this time I'm ending it in the middle of the week so I'll hopefully have less trouble getting on to assign partners :-)

I love postcards...I just love getting mail that isn't "bills"!!!lol

Clayshaper 03/13/2007 #

I would love to see more of these with less partners each! That way I don't always get the same people, or have to write more than three postcards in one 'swap'/week... There is a limit to how interesting my life is. ;)

Chic 03/13/2007 #

Hi, I´m new to this and it is my first swap.. I just wonder.. am I in this one now? How does it work? LOL I don´t have a clue. Thanks, Karolina

The FAQ is very good place to start if you are new to Swap-Bot. This link http://www.swap-bot.com/faq.php is at the top left menu of each swap page. If you have specific questions relating to this particular swap after reading the FAQ, come on back and post away and I'm sure you'll get a ton of answers. We are a chatty bunch :-)

suzylucie 03/20/2007 #

Karolina (jellybaby) I got your postcard today and it cracked me up. The kittens are actually doing a much better job with the yarn than I do sometimes! Thank you.

Marcia (Mrs MC) I also got your gorgeous turtle postcard. I was so surprised it was handmade, I would pay good money for that! Ha Ha. Seriously, it's beautiful and now has a home on my "wall of turtles". Thank you.

PostMuse 03/20/2007 #

Thank you Heather for the wonderful mulitview of Southern California. I'm fairly new to PA, and, like your feeling about CA, ready to leave :-) Rather be in MA!

user6307 03/20/2007 #

My postcards went out today, this one was fun figuring out what to say in such a little space. I believe all of mine where in the u.s. maybe one to canada.

zanylady 03/20/2007 #

beckra...thanks so much for your postcard. Yes, I enjoyed the view! Death Valley is a cool place to visit.

Marlene

Chic 03/21/2007 #

Beckra, today I got your lovely lake postcard! Aaah.. looks soo peaceful! Thank you!

RudeNun 03/21/2007 #

If I send a card from the US to Chile, do Ineed to fill out some sort of form for it? The person @ the post office gave me a 75 cent stamp to send it. But that was it.

Courtney 03/21/2007 #

RudeNun, no. You do not need to fill out a customs delcaration form for a postcard. Just the correct amount of postage which it sounds like the postal clerk sold you.

Courtney 03/21/2007 #

Customs declaration form even. Sorry about the typo!

toryam 03/21/2007 #

Hi Beckra - your lovely card arrived safely! Thank you!

zanylady 03/21/2007 #

Candy...your fun card arrived today.

Marlene

niecedenise 03/23/2007 #

Tireen,Heather and craftbrown--all of your cards came yesterday.Talk about a m other lode of stuff. The mailman had to come to the door with all my swap stuff. Thanks to all. Denise

Courtney 03/23/2007 #

PostMuse 03/23/2007 #

Thank you tireen and neicedenise for the cards!

dandelion 03/24/2007 #

A big THANKS to Marlene, Candy, James Dean, and Phyllis for sending me smiles! :D Although, I'm not sure if Candy's and James Dean's cards were for this pc swap or another one will find out at ratings time. :)

user6307 03/24/2007 #

Thanks Rudenun and Cranky Tiger for the fun postcards, it was a nice end to a long day! Although I was a little worried about the tone of the cards with names like rudenun and cranky tiger, just kidding I find those names intriqueing, those might be another post card swap what do you think? Just a quick postcard with a little something about the story behind your screen name? Both were fun fun fun!

Courtney 03/24/2007 #

Thank you JoJo Smiley and Marlene for the great postcards.

Chic 03/26/2007 #

Thank you Dawn, Kate & Amy for your lovely postcards that arrived today!

Never been mooned via mail before :o) LOL, the butterflies are just lovely, and I really liked the back of th e card as well! The Kennedy Space Center card was really cool too, imagine how much we learn by sending these cards hey, and how many places we get to visit!?

suzylucie 03/26/2007 #

I got a very funny "White Gold" postcard from someone in Mississippi with a skeleton joke on the back. Unfortunately the postal monster tried to eat the area right where your name and aka are so I can't make them out. Anyway thank you, I really liked the joke and thought that was so clever to put it on the postcard. Thank you.

Nathalie 03/26/2007 #

Bird beth got your cow-card today, the first for this swap Thanks very nice card

suzylucie 03/26/2007 #

Got a very funny postcard from Dina in Ireland today, and Dina, I will endeavor to live by Mother O'Reilly's excellent advice.

Craftlover10101 03/26/2007 #

Melanie-thanks sweetie for the cute post card Your an Angel!

niecedenise 03/26/2007 #

Sue-I got your card today. Ive never been to California but sure would like to. Melanie-I got your card also. Isnt it fun to remember things from your childhood. And i love the museum. Kinda like one back home in Oklahoma1

RudeNun 03/26/2007 #

jamesdean, that sounds like a great post card swap! I'd definitely want to join. Unfortunately I don't have a great story, but there's definitely meaning there :D

toryam 03/27/2007 #

Suzielucie, The skeleton joke was from me, glad you like it!

AMY! Love the view of Vulcan, lol! We've actually seen him in real life, just not so familiarly, lol. Thanks!

JellyBelly, You're card was adorable and you've added a new stamp to our collection. The kids were really intrigued to receive a PC from Sweden! Thank you so much!

toryam 03/27/2007 #

Analog - Thank you so much for the lovely view of Toronto and the sweet thoughts. We really like your stamps, too!

Nina C - We've had constant bellydancing conversation since your card arrived, lol. 'what are those things in her hands, is that the lady that sent the PC, where did she get her outfit, does everybody in Ireland bellydance, is that money on her top, etc'. I was hoping we could use the cards to learn a little geography and it certainly worked, lol!

Have a great day!

user6481 03/27/2007 #

Don, love the roosters!! Definately made me laugh!

Em, what a beautiful card! I've been to Colorado once when I was in high school...would love to go back. I also liked the (whale) stamp!

Victoria, is this made from one of your collages? It's definately a "unique" postcard. Many thanks!

Kate, I've actually been to Columbus visiting friends. It's a preety view of the city at night. My husband is originally from Cincinnati, so not too far away!

Dawn, hope you got my first note about the koi fish. I really liked the card!

PostMuse 03/27/2007 #

Thank you lauramum for the lovely Van Gogh. Yes... golden days ahead....

Craftlover10101 03/27/2007 #

PostMuse 03/28/2007 #

Lovely spring card from cookiebear today. Thank you!

Michele1606 03/28/2007 #

I'm very new to this site and this was my first swap. Have had to wait for prompts to find out how to do things but have received my beautiful cards from my swap partners. Thank you all so much, it was lovely to get home from work to such lovely greetings. My cards were a couple of days late going out as I couldn't find what I wanted so had to make them. Hope they are starting to arrive.

groovyholly 03/28/2007 #

It would be nice if people would hold off rating others as a no-send, sometimes it takes up to two weeks (or longer) for mail to arrive, especially when it's coming from another country. Also, it is helpful to send someone an email asking if they sent it. Just a suggestion. I found 9 times out of 10 that people who say they send things, actually do. Things do get lost in the mail, so give the other person a chance to send another just in case that is what happened. I know from experience, I've had more than one thing get lost in the postal system.

PostMuse 03/28/2007 #

I've not had much fun on Swap-Bot of late but tonight I got the most wonderful comment in the rating from one of my partners in this swap. It reminded me of why I love sending stuff to people. Amazing what a simple postcard can do.

user6307 03/28/2007 #

Mary, received a most righteous vintage card from the beach today. Thanks!

toryam 03/28/2007 #

Ordinary Angel - Thanks for the grin! Don't see that every day, lol! It came the day my laptop died so was especially meaningful. Have a great day and thanks again!

Chic 03/29/2007 #

Moody Tuner - your card came on the right day.. have been stuck in all day with my daughter since she´s got a fever, and outside the sun is shining! Although this cute kid made me shine as well! Thanks!

niecedenise 03/29/2007 #

lauraj78 03/31/2007 #
