O.k. I love postcards, I collect them and I love receiving them even more. I have really enjoyed all of the wonderful postcards I have received from the various swaps that I have participated in.

So, with that said this swap is simply Just Because I LOVE Postcards. You will have 5 partners that you will send one postcard to. That is 5 postcards in total that you will need.

They can be any kind of postcard you want, your town, state, homemade, store bought, etc...You choose! On the back you can tell your partner a little bit about yourself, your town, where you live, your pets, a recipe, share anything you want. You decide!

Sound simple enough? I thought so! :)This is a great way to get a 5 rating.

This is an INTERNATIONAL swap and newbies are welcome. People with a 3.5 rating or higher please. Email me if uncertain. Please do not participate in this swap if you cannot send your postcard to your partner.

Have fun, be creative, be sunny, be bright, Happy swapping! If you like this pc swap, join my other ones too: http://www.swap-bot.com/swap/show/4524 http://www.swap-bot.com/swap/show/4847

I LOVE POSTCARDS!!! :)

inky 06/ 2/2007 #

OKAY, I probably should not sign up for this since I'm already in several other swaps....but I LOVE POSTCARDS.... just can't ever throw one away. This week I was going through old pics and things and one thing I noticed was how many old postcards I have....gonna make an album just for my postcards! I'm signing up!

inkybru

CanadianGal72 06/ 2/2007 #

I am the same way inkybru. I am also going to start an album for my postcards! :)

nicole 06/ 2/2007 #

i am keeping postcards in those photo boxes you can get at art-supply stores for about $3.

user8743 06/ 3/2007 #

I've got postcards from my travels around the world that I bought but was too busy having fun to write/mail. So I'll look forward to sharing these with you!

user8428 06/ 5/2007 #

I'm a bit of a newbie so just wanted to clarify:

  • do we send the postcards as is, or in envelopes??
  • are vintage postcards ok to send?? (am asking because I LOVE vintage postcards and so obviously would be very happy receiving them!!).

Cheers & thanks!

CanadianGal72 06/ 5/2007 #

girlabouttown you can send any type/style of postcard you like. You Choose! I intend to write on my pc and send it that way. If you are afraid to ruin a vintage one, go ahead and put it in an envelope! You Choose! Hope that helps. Happy Swapping! :)

blushingapples 06/ 5/2007 #

YAY! SO EXCITED ABOUT THIS SWAP!!!

B3ntButN0tbrok3n 06/ 5/2007 #

i hang my postcards up with one tack each on my computer/ art room wall

user8428 06/ 5/2007 #

Cool! Thank you Canadian Gal! I can't wait for this swap, I adore postcards!!!! :)

user8885 06/ 9/2007 #

This is my first swap - do we just pick 5 participating members at random, then send the item? Or is there some order to it all where you're assigned swap partners - and I just don't see it? I must be having a blonde moment. Or it might have something to do with it being nearly 3am too. hehe.

CanadianGal72 06/10/2007 #

This swap does not end until June 30th. At that time your partners names/addresses will be emailed to you. You may want to read over the F.A.Q page and the new to swap-bot areas to learn how the process works. Have fun!

CanadianGal72 06/16/2007 #

Hey!! This swap is in the #1 slot... Thanks all!!!

musicalif3 06/17/2007 #

Just wondering: if it's homemade, it'd post as long as it's 4x6 inches? Great swap btw. :)

CanadianGal72 06/18/2007 #

I think so...I have received homemade ones with no problem.

mcall 06/18/2007 #

Yippee I love postcards too. I'm in

musicalif3 06/19/2007 #

I still love you LolaLane...BFF'S FOREVER!!!!!

MarmaladeGeisha 06/22/2007 #

I'd like to know, can I sign up even though I'm new and this is my first swap I'd be taking part in? Thanks!

CanadianGal72 06/22/2007 #

Go ahead MarmaladeGeisha, we all had to start somewhere! :) Enjoy!

Starwatcher 06/22/2007 #

I had decided to start limiting my swap because fulfilling them has become the center of my life! BUT, I could not resist this one. Quick and easy and a way to share some of these terrific ones I've collected over the years during my travels compliments of the USAF and the spouse that wanted me along!

As for albums, I have found the ones that hold 5x7 pictures are the best for this. Easy to slip the postcard out if you want to take a look at the back. The 4x6 albums are not quite large enough to hold many of the cards swappers send.

user7852 06/22/2007 #

Could I signup? cannot find the signup button?

mamarose 06/23/2007 #

When will I find out who my partner is? Crystal

CanadianGal72 06/23/2007 #

crystal, you find out who your partner is when the deadline for signing up ends on June 30th. You will be emailed July 1.

CanadianGal72 06/23/2007 #

iWAWA, glad to see you found the sign up area! :)

CanadianGal72 06/23/2007 #

Thanks to everyone for signing up!!! This is great, I feel so special HA! :)

Emily Trial aka Radix Lecte - pc on its way

raynekitten 07/ 2/2007 #

mine are in my mail box ready to see the world..

Suzanne 07/ 2/2007 #

BlueCrayons*Lips0ffire, I've mailed to Kasha before and she always rates promptly.

She is in Europe, and some European countries use different symbols for addresses. We don't have to "understand" an address to be able to write it on a postcard. It will get to Kasha if you copy it verbatim!

Ann 07/ 2/2007 #

Crystal, ncpelican, TheSaminal, jazzyheart, The Abstract Noun I've already mailed your postcards, hope you like it! -Ann

Anke 07/ 2/2007 #

I dropped cards for Tammy, squintgrad, Starwatcher, Kasha and Lestat in the mailbox today.

Isn't it against netiquette to post someone's full name publicly when they go by a nickname, because they might not want people to be able to find it in a search engine? I don't mind, but I know other forums where it's a serious issue.

PisceanMama 07/ 2/2007 #

I'm dropping the postcards in the mail to mmmonsterrat, Toilet Roll Art, SunnyNole, Fairyfloss and gentlegravy. Enjoy!

ArtfulAmy 07/ 2/2007 #

Clayshaper 07/13/2007 #

Mine hit the Post Office yesterday.

A number of the 1's/3's/complaints I have gotten are that my post office apparently is slow or prone to losing postcards- please PM/Email me before panicing. I can always resend a postcard with no big drama... just... no more drama over them being 'late' or not arriving, OK?

They're in the mail NOW! Let me know if they don't arrive, and we can FIX it, instead of harbouring problems around it, OK?

Also, my forgiveness to those who recieve the 'naked mole rat' cards. Hint: NEVER let a 9 year old help you pick out postcards. ;)

Karmi53 07/13/2007 #

Sorry l sent mine and l still can't see were you say you sent them.

aladyde 07/14/2007 #

Mine are on their way, too. Knitgirl63, Kiki from NH , Granny's Namesake , Suzanne , send my family a postcard ( hope this one will arrive as there was no last name given and I got no answer to my request for it)

jazzyheart 07/14/2007 #

I got a wonderful package today. I think it is for this swap but the sender did not include any identifying info other than a return addy with no name. It has wonderful salsa recipes, a Carla Bruni CD and six Rouault pc's. Please let me know if you sent it so I can give you your heart.

Michele Jazzyheart

Artindulgence-I sent your postcard out right before July 4th. I sent postcatds to Korea and Thailand swappers at the same time. I've heard from them. I just want to make sure you got the card. If not I'll pop another one in the mail to you, heck I could even drive it to you as you are in the same state as me. Please let me know. Thx

TaraInColorado 07/22/2007 #

...snorting at Clayshaper's naked mole rat postcards...my step-daughter just bought a booger/worm themed birthday card for a b-day party she's attending this afternoon for a 9-y.o. boy. They have pin-pointed that booger, worm, fart and naked mole rat demographic. Marketing genius, I tell you.

anyway...erg--last week I put all these filled-out-'n'-stamped postcards, along with two other postcard swap batches, in my glove compartment...and of course, promptly forgot about 'em until I opened it today to get a tissue! Gah. So they're all going out now!

I am such an out of sight/out of mind person...probably a little heavier on the latter...heh heh.

Apologies for the delay.

catnkansas 07/24/2007 #

for anyone who had me ina the swap I have been very ill and i am late in getting my swaps out. I will be sending them out on friday. thanks and so sorry for the delay.

lamazon 07/25/2007 #

mamarose 08/ 8/2007 #

Yea, I finally did it. Thanks everyone for your patience. I am new to swap bot and learning how to get around it, find what I want to send and finally doing it. Crystal
