Description:

This swap was originally created by the fabulous @JenDiggityDirt who has given me permission to host it as a group swap! Thanks Jen!

"Surely you've received some really awful notecards that you know you'll never use. Mine mostly come from the charities my grandmother would donate to. You know the ones...weird landscapes, kittens with bows on their heads, bad photos of shabby bouquets. She collected them for years and then passed them on to me. Sweet of her, yes, but I will NEVER use them. Unless I get someone to join this swap, that is!

Here's what you'll need to do to join: Find two of the worst notecards in your collection. The more awful the better! If you've received them from other people in a swap please be courteous and don't show them on your blog or Flickr page because you might hurt someone's feelings and we don't want that. They needn't be truly ugly, just weird, or something you would not normally use. You'll be sending a notecard (with a note from you written inside) to two different people. You may write about anything you like. If you get a card from someone and it is exactly the kind of card you would normally cherish, please don't be offended. Everyone's got different tastes!"

Number of swap partners says "2," but in the description you say to find two of the worst notecards and that we'll be sending a notecard to three different people. Please clear this up.

I remember this swap fondly - from its earlier incarnation. It was lots of fun!

I love ugly notecards! I'll join the swap as soon as I can figure out: how many partners, and how many cards to send each partner. And, we are not to send blank cards, rather, write a note inside an ugly card and send it. Am I correct?

Sounds like fun, but I can't figure out the numbers part either.

My apologies, you'll send 1 notecard to 2 different people. Hope that helps and sorry for the confusion!
