This will be a easy swap as all you need to do is buy 2 postcards from your hometown and mail to your two swap partners!

Plus put a interesting fact on the back side, about your hometown. It could be home to a movie star or something we can't live without.

DON'T FORGET to go back to the swap and "click" sent.....I'm watching you....lol

If you really like showing off your home town, then I have another swap called "Be a hometown tour guide" that's some what along this same line...check it out!

3/12 I see that out of all 234 of you, only 11 people haven't sent their's off yet (or they might not of clicked sent?) Thanks for making this a really fun and full swap, you guys ROCK!

3/17 We are down to 9 (less then 4%, but we want 100%) people out of 234 that haven't at least clicked that they have sent them? I would like to heard from those that have NOT received their postcards~please email me

I did hear from one person that she's running a little late but she plan's on sending....I'll contact those and let them know.... ;.)

OK, nobody has guess where the picture was taken yet? It's worth an extra postcard!

jakfrostwife 02/24/2007 #

jakfrostwife 02/24/2007 #

Hi~once again.....I cleaned up the comments (sorry couldn\'t get rid of the advertising) to just those that had a request about their postcard or comments that we all need to know. Jakfrostwife

user5599 02/24/2007 #

I had a comment up but it seems to have vanished.

I would like my postcards to have the post mark and they can be written on.

user3622 02/24/2007 #

Looking forward to the postcard Joan McClement

jakfrostwife 02/24/2007 #

Jollye~most everyone wants them mail like a postcard... the few that didn't are the one's that I left up. Thought it would just make it easier for those to scroll down.... except for the pestie advertisements....jakfrostwife

0I sent both my postcards to Canada today :)

niecedenise 03/ 2/2007 #

I talked to the post office here in Kansas City and was told it takes so long for postcards to arrive because they are not sent First class. They seem to have their own timeline. Like they are a pain to handle. So give them lots of time even here between states let alone overseas. I wanted to do the fabric postcards but missed the signup date. If anyone sees another one please let me know.

user6473 03/ 2/2007 #

I shipped mine today. One to Australia and one to Oklahoma-USA.

user5675 03/ 2/2007 #

Sent mine out last Tuesday....Can't wait to see how long they take to get to Canada and North Carolina!

SarahA 03/ 2/2007 #

dropped mine in the mailbox today (will go out tomorrow). Received my first card today from Orlando. Woo hoo!

user5585 03/ 2/2007 #

I got my postcard from Mrs.q today. It was very nice and had a nice message with an interesting tidbit about some escaped circus elephants who spent a month living free in the area. I don't see a way to leave a rating for her though. I am very new so I'm not sure what to do.

Melissa

lilylemon 03/ 2/2007 #

You'll get a chance to rate one week after the "send by" date.

Helen C. - Your postcard arrived today! Thank you! It was very interesting and inspired me to dig out my old Beatles CD for the kids to listen to, lol. Great info about the Civil War battleship! We live down the street from a Confederate Cemetary so found the common link intriquing. Thank you again & have a great day!

No problem Sharlzie, I know it's a weight off peoples shoulders when they know what they sent got there. :)

alhambra - thanks for the great big postcard from Poland! :)

user4167 03/14/2007 #

Thank you Linda and Marie for your lovely postcards.

I sent my two to Elke in Germay and Lisa in Australia, although they could take a while to arrive as we are always joking that our post always arrives and departs our little town via a stage coach with 3 broken wheels.

lighthouse 03/14/2007 #

Tenna from Denmark, thank you for a very interesting postcard, it arrived yesterday :-)

lastslade 03/14/2007 #

When are you rating our partners? I got mine on time.

Zmrzlina 03/14/2007 #

You can rate your partners, lastslade, 7 days after the sending deadline which was 10 March. So that means 17 March the link to rate partners will appear in the box above the swap description. It appears sometime during the day, not always at the same time.

More information can be found if you click the "Ratings Info" link at the top of every swap page, http://www.swap-bot.com/rating_info.php

nurul 03/14/2007 #

i received another postcard yesterday from pat-michigan.thank you :) i havent heard from my receivers..i hope it'll get to them safely..

LuckySia 03/14/2007 #

Hmmm... I wonder if my postcards have been recieved by WiscJennyAnn and niecedenise? Maybe I didn't put my online name on them?

So, I guess if two Wisconsonians have postcards they don't know who are from, it could be me.... Sonia! Let me know if y'all don't get them and I can resend, I would have expected postcards to already be there by now. :)

zanylady 03/14/2007 #

Big thanks to lauramum and tellu for their hometown postcards....delighted to learn about your places...the architecture in both places were fun to see.....think I'd better come in person, no?

Marlene

HappyCactus 03/15/2007 #

Courtneyg-I got your postcard last night...I have family in Winston-Salem...I love it there!

LuckySia 03/15/2007 #

oops. I mean I am hoping Ewie and WiscJennyAnn got my postcards ... niecedenise I got a postcard from, heh heh.

craftemom 03/15/2007 #

Dietdew and Carmen,

Just wanted to let you know I received and loved the postcards...went to look how to rate today and can't find it yet...will keep looking though.

Thanks again DebbieH

Gayle 03/15/2007 #

Debbie,

It takes a week from the send date before the option to rate is up. It will be a link on this swap to follow, but you have to wait until then.

Sharlzie 03/16/2007 #

I got a really nice card today from Ryan in Portland, Oregon - thank you :)

user6214 03/16/2007 #

I received a beautiful big postcard from Idd all the way from Sweden and she wrote me a note on how her hometown is connected to mine (Singapore). It's an amazing story (something I know nothing about though I am such a history geek). Thanks so much Idd! :-)

alhambra 03/16/2007 #

I haven't received any card :(

user6473 03/16/2007 #

user5957 03/16/2007 #

Claire from New Richmond, WI, got your card today. Your "state bird" looks like some I have seen here in Texas. Interesting fact about your town glad to hear it has grown again since the 1890's tornado.

niecedenise 03/16/2007 #

lauramum- I got a postcard from youi today but I dont know which swap its from. You have diff people listed on this one. But anyway, it is the most beautiful,serene place Ive ever seen. Thankyou Denise

tangledthreads 03/16/2007 #

I am guessing the picture was taken in Oklahoma. (or Cherokee, North Carolina)

jakfrostwife 03/17/2007 #

LOL, nope~hint number one: It was not taken in the USA (at all)

dandelion 03/18/2007 #

Ninety-Thanks for the super pc with so much info! :D

gramsbuttonbox 03/19/2007 #

received beautiful pc from Ellen in Port Credit - I love lighthouses!

Still nothing from Clayshaper, but it says it was sent, so I'll give it a couple more days.

(for some reason, my link to rate the senders is not opening, so I'll try again tomorrow, and keep my fingers crossed that Clayshaper's card arrives.)

MaryB

lauraj78 03/19/2007 #

NieceDenise - I've sent you a message via Swap-Bot :)

tangledthreads 03/19/2007 #

My second guesss on the picture is Mexico or Puerto Rico??

dandelion 03/21/2007 #

Rebecca~You must be an ANGEL!!! Thank you for the cool pc! :D

cookiemonster07 03/23/2007 #

How long do we wait before rating a no send?I have already gotten 2 from Australia in another swap that started a week after this one.

marnel 03/24/2007 #

Goldenpetals...I would try and contact your partner before giving a negative rating. Sometimes postcards get lost in the mail. If no response after a couple of trys then, rate away....

SamSpice 03/26/2007 #

Got 1 out of 2 - never recieved from Snooky0620 but thank you monstermansmum05!
