Description:

International Newbies Welcome!

Inspired by the 080808 Postcard Swap, I thought I'd get a jump on next year!

For this simple swap, on the 9th of September, 2009 (09/09/09), you'll send 9 postcards to 9 partners. That's 1 postcard per person, not 9 per person.

Ideally, you should mail your cards ON September 9th, 2009. However, if you simply cannot get to a mailbox or post office on the 9th, earlier is fine.

There's no particular theme for the postcards, local area, store bought or handmade, but they must be postcards sent naked (that is without an envelope for the gutter minds.)

This swap is open to anyone with a minimum rating of 4.5 with NO no-sends in the past 3 months. I will be checking profiles and banning any questionable swappers prior to the partner assignments.

Newbies are welcome with a well filled-out profile.

Wow, I was wondering why this hadn't been assigned and just now realized it was for 2009! Silly me.

Wouldn't I only know AFTERWARD whether I could make it to the post office on September 9? So a sent by date of September 10 would make more sense?

If you went to the post office on September 9 before closing hours, then you certainly would know that you sent them by that same date.

If you know that you are unable to make it to the post office by September 9, then as the swap states, drop them off earlier.

The send by dates remains September 9.

can we write stuff on the post cards?

onlyincambodia 11/15/2008 #

Of course you can write stuff on the postcards! That's the whole idea of sending a postcard: to send a short message to someone.

Personally, I prefer receiving postcards where the person has written more than just their name, swap name and "hello". I always make sure I include some sort of message on the postcards I send out.

with the new swap limits, I am going to have to drop this one until closer to time.
I am marking it as watch though.
