Description:

This is an international swap.

With all the letter writing we do here on Swap-Bot I'm sure our purchases of blank notecards has increased so let's spread the wealth. Send 5 different blank notecards to 2 partners. The cards should have no message on outside or inside. No religious or political images, please.

Cards may be store bought or handmade, but must include matching envelope. Please consider the condition of the cards you send... make sure they are not tired, wilted or unloved.

5 different cards to 2 partners. Fairly quick turnaround between swap close and sending dates. It would be wonderful if you post a quick "got it!" to the discussion thread below, or message your partners, when envelopes arrive. It relieves shipping anxiety.

Yeah, my wish was granted!

PostMuse 04/17/2007 #

How 'bout that! I'm a genie in a bottle and didn't even know it! :-) Welcome to the swap Jox!

Sorry for beeing so daft, but would anybody expalin "notecard"

PostMuse 04/20/2007 #

Notecard is a blank card used for short notes, or, with additional paper, long letters. Think of greeting cards without pre-written messages or sentiments. Some notecards are elaborately decorated, but others are more simply, with maybe just a small image on the front. All come with envelopes.

Hope this helps!

user3287 04/22/2007 #

Thanks for your explenation. I love notecards. I'll sign up!

FibreJunky 04/24/2007 #

It says no message on the outside. Does that include generic messages? I saw some really cute Mary Engelbreit cards, but they have little sayings on the front as part of the pictures.

PostMuse 04/24/2007 #

Well, since this is an international swap, I want to keep any message or sentiment off the cards. Someone in a country where English is not the native language might not have too much use for a card with English sentiment on it. Perhaps everyone would be fine with that, but I figured it was easier to just go with no messages than to try to poll everyone.

slamophile 04/27/2007 #

I prefer no messages on the cover, too.

PostMuse 04/28/2007 #

I sent a Bcc email off to everyone on the list as of this morning. Please let me know if you did not receive. No changes or edits in the swap, just a little reminder :-)

user5486 04/28/2007 #

I got my cards ready to mail...Just waiting to get my partners...

ddnuland 05/ 1/2007 #

Looking forward to this swap! Just want to check though:

Do the notecards need to be double, ie you open them? Or can they be single (like postcards) but with no writing on the back and with accompanying envelope?

PostMuse 05/ 1/2007 #

Oooo, I like the idea of the single side notecard with envelope! Those would be so perfect for thank you notes. Only without message, though, and I wouldn't want to receive all that sort of notecard. A variety is best.

RobinT 05/ 2/2007 #

I Have a variety of cards ready to send. Some cute, some pretty, some whimsical... lots of different cards.

Can't wait to get my partners!

Heather71 05/ 2/2007 #

Mine are all ready and waiting on partners being assigned.

shopandbid 05/ 4/2007 #

Good morning, I have some cute and colorful coffee theme notecards that have no messages on the front or inside, very cute. However, they do have coffee related recipes on the back good ones actually how about those for a partner in the U.S. A. would that be okay? Have a great day. Faye

PostMuse 05/ 4/2007 #

I think one of the cards I planned on sending has a bit of detailed history on the back of the scene on the front, written in English. I wondered about using it for this swap in case I have all international partners. I decided that it would be good for those partners who I know would appreciate such history, but I'll check the profiles.

Coffee, unliked history, is fairly well loved :-) I suppose if your partner's profile indicated allergies or strong dislike of coffee, you wouldn't want to send the coffee related cards. However, if you had me, I'd be thrilled to get them. I think lots of coffee fiends would :-)

PostMuse 05/ 5/2007 #

Thank you tons!

Heather71 05/10/2007 #

I'm really sorry I still haven't sent. My little girl hasn't been well this week and just as I've been getting organised with things, she keeps being sent home from school.

I was at the hospital with her yesterday afternoon and it turns out she has an ear infection in both ears :( She's been off school today, so guess who has managed to get nothing accomplished again today.

She's going back tomorrow, so if I get my finger out, it will be off in the post some time tomorrow.

slamophile 05/10/2007 #

spinjenny and outbackgirl - you're notecards were sent last night. :-)

slamophile 05/10/2007 #

Thankyou so much, Sara, for the gorgeous notecards, they arrived today. They are really lovely and I will enjoy using them. Luck of the draw, though, in getting another Aussie!!

toiletrollart 05/11/2007 #

No worries Griffie - glad you liked them!

Heather71 05/11/2007 #

Mine were sent out today to veggiemommie and Ellen.
