So, I came up with what I thought was a good idea. Here it goes....

Why not send a postcard from somewhere you're not :) ? These can be postcards you have stashed away somewhere from places you have been, or because we all love recycling & reusing you could also reuse an old postcard that someone has sent you. Just stick paper or card to the written on side & write your new pal a message & send away :) I will read people's profiles so if I see that you do not keep to your swaps I may not let you join. & of course I have nothing against newbies! We all have to start somewhere :)

Oh yeah, I love questions so if you have any, ask away.

Hey, that's weird! I sent a postcard just like that to a swap-botter in California and I rounded the corners just like that too - they were originally regular pointed corners.

(Watching for now. At my swap limit.)

hehehe, hi there papercaper! how wierd :D Maybe it's a sign that you should join us in this swap- hahaha. I have a few hawaiian vintage postcards which my husband & I have framed, they have such a lovely feel to them- ahhh something like paradise. Warm breezes & salty air :) hope to see you in the swap. Thanks for your message!

Just signed up! My husband and I hiked to the bottom of the Grand Canyon a couple weeks ago. We bought a bunch of post cards to mail from the bottom just in case there weren't any down there. There WERE some down there (of course), so now I have extras! Perfect!

sugalove 05/28/2010 #

hehehe perfect KimberlyPye!! I bet your swap partner will love getting a p.c from the grand canyon. I have never been but have heard its AMAZING!!!!!

I just found a bunch of postcards I rec'd from other swaps. They would be perfect for this. I sent you a message about joining...

sugalove 05/29/2010 #

Well I am from Hawaii so whoever I get as a partner I will email you first to ask you if you want it from somewhere else or hawaii.. because people tend to want postcards from here..

I am VERY excited to see that so many newbies have signed up to this swap along with so many that have done several hundred swaps :) Newbies if you have any questions please feel free to ask away. If you dont want to post them here then feel free to p.m me :D 3 days left until your partners are revealed!

Are you open to hand-made postcards? I'd love to join, but don't have anything in my stash so I'd be open to doing a digital postcard of my favorite place.

renees 06/ 1/2010 #

please let us know if you're going to allow homemade cards. I don't collect those, so if they're allowed I'll drop the swap. Just not my thing!
Thanks!

sugalove 06/ 1/2010 #

Hi yomeow, I would really like to stick to my original idea, however I could think about starting a swap ( or maybe there already is one) of your fave place. The fact that I already have a comment made by renees also kinda shows that people have joined this swap & expect to get what they have signed up for. I would hate to have anyone drop out. Sorry yomeow.

I have lovely cards from my travels abroad, but also from within South Africa and Zimbabwe - would that work for this swap?

sugalove 06/ 2/2010 #

G'day Inthewild Would be good from somewhere you're not. However, you could ask your partners if they want a card from South Africa / Zimbabwe or somewhere else. Think that would work best. Cheers :)

Ogma 06/ 2/2010 #

Are these to be sent "naked" or in an envelope? Thanks!

sugalove 06/ 2/2010 #

HI Ogma, It would be cool to write a little something on the p.c but as for in an envelope or not. I'll leave it up to you. No rules there :)

How do I start?

sugalove 06/ 7/2010 #

Hi Clarissa, if you go the swap you should be able to click on a link on the right hand side of the swap in a seperste box that says 'see the partners you send to' :) these are your partners, you will find their address etc there. Write them a postcard, send away click on ' sent' again on the right hand side of the swap. Wait to receive your
postcard & don't forget to rate your partners & me ;) hope that has helped if you need any further help please ask :) hope all goes well!

sugalove 06/11/2010 #

WOW 2 postcards in one day! Lucky me. If anyone has any problems please let me know & thanks again for joining!

My thanks to @sugalove for being an angel and sending me a PC when imburton flaked. It was a nice surprise and is much appreciated.
