Description:

This swap is for those of us that have a stash of lovely postcards that we send out - but we look at some of them and think "I'd love to have that one written and stamped for my collection"! I love collecting naked and stamped postcards, empty ones just don't do much for me. I've seen this idea in the past but I have no idea who started it, so if anyone knows tell me and I'll give them credit for the idea!

So, two steps---

  1. Pick out two cards from your unwritten stash that you'd love to have someone send you written and stamped. Send each partner a postcard in an envie - make sure you include a note to say what swap this is for! You can even go ahead and put your name and address on it if you'd like - and even include postage IF YOU WANT (not required) but in case you want a certain stamp from your collection or something.
    
  2. Once you receive the postcard from your partner, then write something interesting on the back, stamp it, and send it back to them!

Rating---

Since this is done out of the norm, the rating will come when you send your postcard in an envie to your partner. Getting it back written on will be done on the honor system. It would be great if when you receive your postcard back you could go to their profile and let them know you've received it.

Rules---

Due to the nature of this swap, I will only accept swappers with a 4.9 rating (NO 1's at ALL for any reason) - no newbies this time, sorry. I want to lessen the chance of flaking with the more in depth rules this requires.

Thanks for doing another one of these - the first one was so much fun!

No problem!

when do you stop being a newbie?

AndreaJ 05/15/2010 #

What a great idea! I'm watching this for now.

Leilx, the host of this swap will respond with specifics, but usually its a minimum number of a particular kind of swaps. For example, "at least 5 swaps of Type 1 swaps". But it's entirely up to the host to decide.

If you've got one swap under your belt, I still consider that a newbie but for the purposes of this swap I'd have allowed you.
