Description:

So, postsecret.com is a pretty famous site. This swap is built on that concept. You will have 3 swap partners. You have to send each of your partners an ecard, but instead of a message, you will send them a secret about you. You can send the same secret to all 3 partners, or you can send 3 different secrets.

This swap will be done by e-mail.

Newbies with filled-out profiles are welcome :)

Please rate your partners right after you receive their e-cards as this is an instant ratings booster swap. Enjoy the swap! :)

I havent done a swap like this before, can I just ask - does this mean I can create a "postcard" (i.e a picture) with my secret on and attach it to an email? Or do i need some special e-card technology? lol.

I love Post-secret and would love to join.

hi! oh you can send a picture with your secret if you want to, or you can just send a normal e-card with the secret written in normal text :) the idea was just adapted from post-secret, but since it'd be difficult to actually make an online postcard from scratch, the creative aspect of it is optional :)

partners have been assigned!! please comment here and let me know how you found the swap :)

Hi, I hope I did this correctly. I went on post secret and read those & kinda got a good idea of what was being asked. (I hope!) :-) I found this swap while looking for fabric swaps. I used to do fabric & quilt block swaps about 10 years ago (wow time flys!) and I was amazed that all the sites (that I can remember) are gone! Thanks for the ratings booster swap & the ability to tell total strangers a secret. I've never done that & its kinda strange & nice at the same time. lol Thanks again!

I think it would be fun to upload all the secrets on to the swap gallery.

thatshot7 10/21/2008 #

thanks becki! i'm glad you enjoyed it :) will definitely have a part 3.

xforsakenxmemoriesx: that sounds like a great idea!! who would want to do that?

xforsakenxmemoriesx 10/21/2008 #

I would since I suggested it. lol.

i think uploading the secrets would be fun, but i would have maybe been more careful knowing that ahead of time. my secret relates to a friend who is also on swapbot. she didn't join this swap, but i'd be nervous of her seeing mine. maybe we should see if the sender is comfortable first?

Becki 10/21/2008 #

What is the swap gallery & how do you do it? Remember... total newbie here! lol Thanks so much! This has been fun, and I look forward now to part 3! what was part 1?

in the yellow box where you click to see who your partner is the last link in it says upload swap image. you click their.

xforsakenxmemoriesx 10/21/2008 #

maybe only upload if your comfortable putting up your secret. I'm comfortable posting mine.

tammylci 10/21/2008 #

this is an awesome idea for a swap!

I went to the site u mention and got an idea about what to do too.

I didn't send a e-card from a site. I created mine using an image + my secret and attached to the e-mail. I think we can be creative on how we want our e-cards to be like :D

an expression of our secret

tammylci 10/21/2008 #

err i think if we stay anonymous it would be ok to publish our secrets.

If not I would not be comfortable letting my secret out >_<

tammylci 10/21/2008 #

maybe a heart for those who created their own secret postcard? T_T

thatshot7 10/21/2008 #

two of my swap partners said that they sent their e-cards to me but i haven't received any :( perhaps my e-mail address was jotted down wrong?

somethingblue 10/21/2008 #

I used e-cards that look like vintage postcards with a stamp and everything. I also chose the images to fit the theme of the secret. =] Very fun, easy swap!

babymellowdee 10/22/2008 #

tammylci, i created my own postcard too. it was fun to do.

tammylci 10/22/2008 #

cool!!!

we should all do #3 soon too!!!??

something same but different?

like how did u lose your virginity secret.. haha..

Becki 10/22/2008 #

I sent mine to all my partners, but only 1 has read it & rated me. Do I email & ask the others if they got it?? I know I didn't mess up the email address, because I did a cut & paste. :-) Any advise would be great. Thanks!

tammylci 10/23/2008 #

yeah becki, contact them in swapbot n ask if they got it?

I have 1 partner who hasn't rated me yet too and I just contacted her to ask if she's got my e-mail. Just resend her again to be sure.

Becki 10/23/2008 #

Thanks Tammy. I did & one replied that it was indeed in her 'trash'. Glad I asked. :-)
