Recycled Junk Mail Postcard Swap

We all gets lots of junk mail (ahem…I mean bulk rate mail, to be politically correct). Let's recycle and reuse our bulk rate mail.

For this swap, save your junk mail for a couple of days or a week or whatever.

Take that junk mail and make 5 postcards from it. You can't use any other embellishments, just stuff from the junk mail.

Send ONE postcard to FIVE partners.

Postcards should be at least 4 inches x 6 inches, which is the maximum size for postcard rate in the US.

If you make your postcard larger, be sure and check for the proper postage amount.

Postcards are to be mailed without an envelope, so be sure your glue is tight enough for the ride.

The fine print:

This swap is for swappers with a rating of 4.8 or higher, at least 3 rated swaps (mailed swaps), and no swaps outstanding more than 7 days at the close of the signup period.

If you see that there are questionable swappers signed up for this swap, please let me know.

I've already started saving!

Are catalogs considered "bulk rate mail" or just the letter sized mail I get too much of?

If anybody needs some junk mail.. I have MORE than any person ever should! HAHA!

Ooh.. maybe sometime we could all swap junk mail.. could be interesting.. HEHEHE!

I think catalogs are considered bulk rate too. Junk mail is junk mail is junk mail.

Is it OK to laminate the postcard before mailing it?

YarnTails 03/15/2008 #

Blurg - I don't know about lamination. I've received some laminated. If you want to pm your partners and ask if they would like it laminated, that would be okay. Otherwise, I just sent 'em naked, as is, and use lots of glue!

a couple of my cards got eaten at the PO. i guess my glue job wasn't good enough. i'm resending to suziqz and farstarr. if anybody else's card arrives without a front, please let me know and i will resend. thanks!

FarStarr 03/24/2008 #

Oh hippofairy, You don't have to resend..:) I understand the machine eats things sometimes! Hungry, hungry, hungry.
