Description:
I love postcards but I also love searching for new green tips I can apply to my home and life to make life healthier and more sustainable. This postcard swap is for 5 for 5. Add a green tip to your postcard of choice, mail out to the 5 people. green tips could be as aeasy as "keep cloth bags in your car for the grocery store instead of usng plastic bags that dont biodegrade" or as new as "instead of using gift wrap, let your kids decorate the back of a paper grocery bag, or resue old blueprints." You get the idea. Plenty of magazines an websites have great ideas nowadays. The ones I receive, I will add them to my "recycle zine, so you can send me as many as you want!" have fun!

Wish we weren't limited to 20 swaps now.

Can I make a recycled postcard (e.g. from some nice food packaging) for this swap as well?

Could you give me a week or so to make the postcard? I like to make them match my partners.

What a neat idea! I'm mentally sorting through my tips now....

so this'll be my first swap... do we get the names late the 6th?

MaryBT 01/ 5/2009 #

I think my brain isn't working. I thought we had 3 partners and sent 3 tips to each. Doh! I'd better go make a couple more postcards!

I changed the date for the mail out to give more time to gather names and send them out! Dont know what I was thinking before!! ;)

Swan 01/ 6/2009 #

Thanks for changing the date! It's a lot better to have a few days to send.

This was a great idea for a PC swap! Mine went out in today's mail. Please note that if you are receiving from me, it might take a few extra days, as I live at a military base overseas. Have a great weekend everyone!
