Description:

I'm sure Darby will enjoy seing this swap up, as she's an avid collector like I am!

For this swap, we will have 3 partners. You will send one postcard to each of your partners. You can send any kind of postcard you would like to send. There are different kinds of postcards:

Store bought: These are ones you buy at the store or at tourist shops. These can include a wide variety of styles, sizes and kinds. Vintage (or old) postcards are also considered store-bought in my swaps. You will know they are store bought because they have printed writing on the back upper left corner talking about the front of the postcard, they have a seperation line between the message and the address section, they will have a little "stamp goes here" kind of box in the corner or they will have address lines already printed on the card.

"Ad" cards: These are advertisements that you will normally get for free from somewhere or that advertise for some company. You can sometimes get ad cards from a soda company, museums, new boutiques opening up, etsy or ebay sellers will include them, etc. If they advertise for something, they are considered an ad card. Not many people like to receive ad cards.

Homemade: These cards are ones you have created yourself. Most times you have taken a regular post card and traced a template, cut it out and created a work of your own. This can be anything from sketching and doodling to scrapbooking and collage. Many times swaps that say okay to homemade want them to be made nicely, not just a couple stickers slapped on a piece of paper.

Now, even if you don't like the postcard you receive, you still have to rate fairly. Remember, even if you don't like the object you receive, if it meets swap descriptions and it was sent by the due date, it is considered a correct swap.

I'm not putting a rating restriction on this swap, as I would hope this would be a group I don't have to worry about.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask me. I'll be happy to help!

are these to be sent naked or not?

yes naked.

does naked mean put in an envelope and sent rather than write on the actual postcard itself?? Sorry if this is a silly question but im new!!

I am totally new here and excited to get involved! But please define "naked" :-) Many thanks.

Ok this is proof I am new on this LOL! I just had a look about and found that "naked" is without an envelope and written on. Sent just like you do with any other postcard. Hope I got that right :-D

yes you got it write. Naked. The pc receivers like the actual postcard written on and an original postage stamp. Some like to see the countries stamp. So they call this naked. Hope this helps...
