Postcards Around the World

Can the postcards all be from our area, or do they have to be from all over?

Good questrion??? I have been collecting postcards to be able to have lots on hand...

Note from the Coordinator

Certainly, postcards can be from your area, just as long as they are not animals, etc.

Where do we check to join the swap? I don't see it here.

Click on Join Swap at the bottom of the swap description to join the swap.

I've already joined this but I meant to ask: How many postcards are we supposed to send to each partner? 1 naked to each or X amount in an envie to each? Please let us know. Thanks =)

Note from the Coordinator

I have edited the description of the swap to include how many postcards to send to each partner.

I have a question ... How is he to whom I send the postcard, how do I know the address where the shipment?. Thank you.

After May 17th I believe the coordinator will tell you to check the right side of this swap and you will see "partners to send to" click on it and you get the names and addresses.

I haven't been on swapbot for ages and this is the perfect swap to get me sending postcards again :D

I just joined. I am going somewhere rather exotic the week the partners are assigned so I am going to send mine from there. I am sure to find beautiful cards for all to enjoy.

I'm excited! This is my first swap with Swap-Bot. I'm looking forward to it, and hopefully I will use the system correctly!

I am new to this swap but can't wait to do it. I hope sending something arty (I know, no animals) is ok since I live in a small Southern California beach town. We have no postcards of our city but I did find some cool other ones. Any comment on this?

oh man I have cute monkey one's. Oh poo. But I have lots of others. lol

Message from the coordinator

Please note that the POSTCARDS MUST BE FROM A PLACE, not just any "cool-looking" postcard. You can save those for another fun swap!

I got my postcards form around maine , lighthouses stuff like that I hope thats ok

Hello, can the postcards be photos turned into postcards or do they have to be actual storebought postcards?

Note from the coordinator

Postcards may be made from photos, or you can send store bought postcards.

I like mine store bought, written and stamped! Thanks!!

i love any kind of postcards, but if you want to make it of a pretty photo youve taken thatd be amazing too.

Aren't postcards made from photos "handmade"? I would like store bought please.

I like mine sstore boght - thanks

dancing I love getting mail...and I LOVE postcards! SO MUCH FUN!

Yes, I'm wondering about that, too, mamajoy.

In the description of this swap, it says "not homemade" but, in this chat area, onlyincambodia is saying that you can use photos.

So.. to me, that is handmade.

Now.. I am confused!

Please clarify this query, onlyincambodia ~ Thanks!

I would think postcards made from photos are not handmade but they are also not store bought. So, they kinda dont apply to any of the descriptions. Sometimes postcards made from pics are awesome!

How do we get partners assigned?

Message from the coordinator

I am allowing photos to be used as postcards because they lend themselves nicely to being a postcard. When I think of handmade, I picture scraps of paper glued to cardboard in mosaic fashion, which can be rather tacky.

If you prefer store bought postcards, then mention your preference here.

To julieditor

Partners are assigned after the last day to sign-up: May 17. You should be able to see your assigned partners no later than May 19.

Would postcards from a specific event in the area be acceptable? They have the date the event occurred, and various photos from it as well.

I would like store bought please, Salgal

As long as the event identifies a particular place or location, then that postcard should be fine.

I am so excited for tomorrow! My postcards are all ready, they just need addresses and proper postage! :)

All done and Im sending them out tomorrow! Its a holiday in Canada today :) I got assigned a very serious postcard collector, so I'm finally giving away one of my postcards I got in Cuba! I also found several wonderful old postcards from different countrys at a thrift store, look in your thrift store postcard collectors!!!

i want store brought plz no hand made :) thank you

Store-bought for me as well... thank you!

I'm really sorry, may be my question is stupid, but... What should I write on postcard to help people identify postcard as mine (besides my words to partner)? My address? Or my username will be enough? Name of group? I'm newbie =)))))

daarhon, I usually write my name followed by my username between brackets and on the side of the postcard, I write the swap name (just in case the person is in other swaps or if it takes a while to get there).

Hope that helps. :)

My postcards are out the door! My goal was to find something special for each person. Hopefully I made it!

:( 4 or 5 people still havent sent theirs yet... Ims till waiting on my last one :(

ATTN. Kristen Steioff and Emily Currington: I resent your postcards from The Around the World PC Swap, today Sept. 11. Hope they arrive safely this time. Please let me know when you receive my cards. Sylvia Myrheim
