Description:

I love collecting postcards from all over the world but there haven't been many postcard swaps on swap-bot lately, so I'd like to remedy that.

Send one postcard that makes you happy to each of your five swap partners and you'll get five in return. Easy-peasy!

The deadline is just early enough to avoid the busy holidays.

Happy swapping!

are these to be hometown postcards? or handmade?

sienna 10/ 4/2006 #

Any card that makes you happy - handmade, funny, unusual, hometown, whatever you like!

My five year old daughter loves checking the mail just in case something turns up for her...if you get me as a swap partner could you address it to Rose c/o me? She'll be thrilled, I promise. I'll let her choose the cards to send out and she can draw on the back.

user4084 10/ 6/2006 #

Do I just post the card or send it in an envelope so that it's clean and new when my swap partners receive it?

lamazon 10/10/2006 #

Tip :If you have to send a card to Europe please wright the 7 with an extra line in the middle . Offently postmen take the overseas 7 for a 1 !

lamazon 10/10/2006 #

Little question : If possible can you put real stamps on the cards ? Not those ugly white postoffice things :o))) I know many stamp collectors overhere and real stamps are very rarely this days .

THANK YOU VERRRRRRRRRY MUCH

My 5 year old son is doing a project for school.They are trying to get 100 postcards from different places around the world.He don't care what is on it.He gets excited to get anything in the mail.If you can write a little about yourself on the back he would like that too.So if you would like to mail us one can you put it under Dalton c/o me.Thanks

sienna 10/11/2006 #

The card should be posted through the mail, preferably with stamps and something nice written on the back.

lamazon 10/12/2006 #

Hi Sueb,

Greetings Charlotte

user4219 11/13/2006 #

Good grief, I have this sick feeling I didn't put enough postage on my cards. I asked the postal lady, she said yes, but now because it seems to be taking so long, I'm beginning to wonder. Could anyone tell me what happens to postcards with not enough postage on them? Do they get tossed out? I'm just wondering if I should be sending five more out. Newbie swapper here who's trying desperately to get this swapping right.

KarlaKC 11/14/2006 #

Today I received 2 postcards!

Lin sent a postcard of the skyline of Montreal Canada. I LOVE it! Loved the big colorful stamp, too. :)

I also received a very unique postcard from Lori...a packet of "Wild Iris" seeds! Wow! This is cool! And I LOVE irises! I had to leave a bunch of my great-grandmother's irises behind in North Georgia when I moved and I miss them. I will look forward to planting these and seeing them come up in the Spring. THANK YOU, Lori!

rowdychik 11/17/2006 #

Thanks to our swap hostess (Melanie)for the cool Canadian railroad postcard---very nice! The colors are outrageous.

And thanks to Christine the librarian! I hope you travel as much as you can. I lived in Madrid for a few years and miss Europe greatly! And Rhome is close to Dallas/Fort Worth, TX. Loved the postcard. You fit a lot on there in your pretty handwriting.

Cami

user4219 11/17/2006 #

This was passed on to me when I questioned whether or not my postcards had arrived because I hadn't seen any comments posted. Don't worry yet if the people you sent to don't write anything in the comment section, some people don't and the only way you will know if they arrived is when the person rates you. If you don't get rated right away then you will know they haven't received them and 'then' send out more. As a new swapper I certainly appreciated this little bit of info :o)

user2953 11/17/2006 #

I received a great card from Su-Ying in Toronto. Thanks so much! Waiting for 2 more, can't wait! :)
