Number of people in swap:	27
Location:	Regional - United States

Last day to signup/drop:	November 9, 2013

Number of swap partners:	2
Description:
This is the one of the last years for awhile to do this sequential date swap (next year is the last for 12/13/14 which I intend to host). You will send two postcards (1 per partner, 2 total partners). The postcards MUST be sent & postmarked that day ONLY. If you can't for sure commit, don't join. You should be rated a 3 if your postcard isn't correctly postmarked. I will vet this swap on the last day before I assign partners. If you have rating issues, this gives you quite a long time to correct unresolved 1 ratings. I have a zer0 tolerance on those. The postcard may be handmade or store bought. No freebie type cards. Buy it or make it. On it, include your user name and a random fact about yourself. The only reason this swap isn't international is because the dates don't print correctly on postmarks. No offense to you beautiful international members. â™¥

But many international people get 22/7 (July 22nd), which is closer to the actual value of Pi than 3.14 is, so it's another "Pi Day". Lucky! :)

I am SO glad that you include hand made ones. At the art supply store yesterday I got some really amazing color and send type postcards of tattoos!

So sorry Diane for me to be waiting until the very last day to sign up for your swap. It is the weather, season, weed pollen here in Central FL - like summer time, grrr ... But if there is a rain, the pollen isn't bad - weather prediction, I will sign up for the swap.

Don't worry @Whippet Diane is not that easily offended. She's probably tired of me though. I have joined, dropped, and re-joined this swap so many times now, it's probably making her dizzy. Not because of any lack of faith in her but the USPS. I have received several pc's lately that were not cancelled or metered & had no dates on them anywhere. So I am taking a leap of faith that my pc in this swap will get cancelled or metered to show the correct date. (as I do not want a 3 rating)

Not offended. I love y'all <3

I asked my PO to hand cancel mine in front of me. Would your PO not do the same if you asked? Hugs from Alaska, Sherry

I have the benefit of working a block from the main post office in Saint Louis. Because I send my mail from work, I know it's picked up several times per day. I hope everyone is in route to the post office!! :)
