Hello all!

I've crawled out of my cave for another swap. I was going to do a lottery for just one winner but I recently found a bunch of stamps while cleaning so everyone will get something from me!

How this will work:

STEP ONE:

YOU will have ONE (1) partner to send a naked (written and stamped) card to, which can be anything you like. As usual, it's nice if you can check their profile but not required. If you would, please do write something nice on the card other than the swap name and your name.

STEP TWO:

I will then send an envelope of cards to everyone that signs up! I am trying to de-stash as I am moving and just don't really have the time to swap right now but I want people to be able to give my cards life aside from sitting in my storage. I'm doing it as one stamp envelopes so 1oz which is usually 4-5 cards. The ones I send out will be blank (except the one I send to my actual swap partner).

Important: The card themes I have are all over the place. Boston, Albany, NYC, Vermont, Star Wars Comics, Alice, farm animals, Jane Austen, food art, Pixar, Memu, Earth/space, patriotic, and many more random ones. I am going to do it so that the 5 cards are all different. You may end up with 2 touristy cards in an envelope but they will be different cities.

PLEASE COMMENT IF YOU HAVE PREFERENCES!! For cards you want: This will only be for a set suggestion like if you want an Alice in Wonderland card I will put one but I can't guarantee any particular image.

PLEASE comment specifically if there's a set you DO NOT want. Some people have strong feelings or beliefs about certain things like not wanting nudity or religious or crude humor or some such things. I generally have completely neutral cards but I will definitely avoid certain things if you tell me to.

Finally: I just want to say this: I am not doing this to get rid of UGLY cards whether it is the image or if they are used or bent. This is for NICE, NEW cards that I consider to be very lovely but I just don't have the time/money to send them. I have over 2000 available. I promise to not send ugly cards! :) I hope many join, I'm excited to stuff envelopes!!!

And also sorry, US only because I only have forever stamps.

Edit:

I changed the name of the swap from "Give one get five"

You will technically get 6 cards... 1 from your swap partner and 5 from me. I wasn't thinking about that when I named the swap!

One more (important) thing....

Because you will really only have 1 partner to send a card to and I'm just using the master list to send envelopes to everyone, you won't be able to rate me the standard way. If you would leave a comment on my profile if you like the cards that'd be great! Also please message me if you don't get them. You might think it's silly to message about free cards but I do want to make sure everyone gets a batch :)

This is very nice of you to offer these cards. I would love anything having to do with Alice in Wonderland, or anything that is animal themed, esp. rabbits. Also, if I could request possibly no patriotic or disney, thank you so much.

Katiebree 09/20/2020 #

This is amazing! I love anything floral, colorful, Pixar, no really picky!

jenh7498 09/20/2020 #

I like food art, earth & space, Pixar, & farm animals, please :)

colleenwrites 09/20/2020 #

This is so sweet of you! Iā€™d love any earth/space themed cards, but if theyā€™re not available, Iā€™ll love anything!

bringitb 09/20/2020 #

What a great swapā€”thank you! Iā€™d love to request NYC and/or food (and would love to receive anything youā€™d like to share)! =)

pinklilly 09/20/2020 #

Thank you so much for doing this destash!! I love postcards!! I love Jane Austen, Alice, Disney, flowers or whatever you have available. I would be so happy.

captkristi 09/20/2020 #

Farm animals and Earth/space sound awesome. But like everyone else...I will be super happy with whatever you send. Thanks so much for the generosity!! 2k postcards is incredible!!!

PooKwin73 09/20/2020 #

What a sweet thing to do! My favorites are Disney, (especially Aladdin / Genie or anything Disney parks-related), any animals, or tourist attractions / landmarks (ie, Statue of Liberty, Washington Monument, Mt.Rushmore, etc). But I'll happily accept whatever you send, Thank You!

Allegrae 09/21/2020 #

How nice of you! I love food art, sports, ocean/lighthouse themes and weird cards that defy classification.

03Scarlett 09/21/2020 #

Thank you so much for such a generous offer! I would like any cards that you might have that would make senior citizens smile ... flowers for sure but if not, that's okay. Just any that would make older people smile (these will go to residents of nursing homes who are in lock down and can't have visitors.) Thank you so much!

Aseret25 09/21/2020 #

This is so generous of you! I'm fairly open, although I would prefer not to receive anything religious, patriotic, nudity, or crude humor. Thanks!

ladydy5 09/21/2020 #

I think you are so gracious to send your collection out. I did that with art trading cards when I moved. I like to send animal postcards to my great grandsons so that would be nice to get. Thanks.

squince 09/21/2020 #

I'm pretty open! I like tourist cards the least, but i'll take whatever! :)

sleepingrover2010 09/21/2020 #

I would be happy with any you have to share. I really appreciate your kindness and willingness to share. I would prefer you share the following with others--Star Wars, Comics, Pixar, and Memu. All other topics are just fine. Thanks again! Barb

Love this idea. Such a great way to purge. I love comics, humorous cards, nature, animals, just about anything except for patriotic themed ones

SatisHuman 09/22/2020 #

I love Alice in Wonderland, animals (especially cats), Harry Potter, crude and offensive humor, nudity, and any other oddities you may have. Iā€™m not easily offended and welcome any cards that may potentially upset other people. I am not interested in patriotic or religious cards. Thanks again for such a generous swap!

Wonderful of you to do this!! I love all PC except Scary ones! (Harry Potter is one of my favs - he is not scary)! Anything will be happily loved!

bordercolliemom59 09/23/2020 #

no nudity or cursing or horror or satanic please

ittybittykitty 09/23/2020 #

You are so kind for hosting this! I love wild animals and pets, holidays, space, arts, spooky things, and anything thatā€™s kind of quirky or not easy to categorize. Iā€™d prefer not to have patriotic, religious, or touristy (places). But anything you send will be loved! :)

Poohtat 09/23/2020 #

What a lovely idea. Thank you. I like anything.

fiennesgirl 09/23/2020 #

Thanks in advance for this swap! Iā€™d love getting Alice In Wonderland, anything spooky, space (for my youngest son), Harry Potter (for my middle sonā€™s girlfriend), tea-themed, any Dachshund ones, or Jane Austen if available. Please no touristy or ones with realistic spiders. Spiders freak me out!

coleandjojo 09/24/2020 #

This is such a fun idea! Thank you for your generosity! Sorry to hear you don't have much time these days to Swap....Can I at least send you some stamps in an envelope to help with postage costs? I don't have any preferences on cards, surprise is fine. Thanks again!

JingleKeys 09/25/2020 #

@coleandjojo you're so sweet! It's more people than I expected but I have lots of stamps and lots lots more postcards!! xo I'll be swapping lots more soon I'm sure. I'm just trying to get organized right now :)

ladydy5 09/25/2020 #

Can they be blank cards not written on ?

Vickimac 09/25/2020 #

You have a generous heart and so many people in this swap. Iā€™ll take whatever cards you want to send. I donā€™t love touristy cards but they are free so I wonā€™t complain :). I love Halloween and spooky cards if you have any weird ones

PegOGood 09/25/2020 #

Any kind is good for me (as long as not offensive) Thank you for doing this.

alexalgebra 09/27/2020 #

Thank you!! I don't have a preference really, except for not FL or CA (unless it's Disney-related) because I have a ton of cards from those two states.

Earlgurl 09/30/2020 #

I will DEFINITELY leave you a comment on your profile bc this and YOU are AMAZING for doing this for all of us. 102 are in this swap. You freaking ROCK!!!!

Earlgurl 10/ 5/2020 #

I couldve sworn that I commented about this but I don't see my comment. IF you still have any ALICE, or crude humor I'd be more than happy to take them off of your hands. LOL I'm really not picky, but a HUGE fan of Alice in Wonderland, Wizard of Oz, etc. Thank you again for doing this!!!

Katiebree 10/ 6/2020 #

coleandjojo 10/14/2020 #

Wow I got your amazing package of postcards that you sent. This was such a nice thing to do! I enjoyed the variety of them and I will be sure they all find a good home in choosing a recipient. Thank you so very much! PS: I never mind a homeade envelope I am all for reduce, reuse, recycle, so that was fine, I didn't even notice til I saw your note. Don't sweat the small things in life!!
