Description:

@KarlaKC has kindly allowed me to use her idea for this wonderful swap. I had so much fun participating and I wanted to share it with you all. The partner I had said that my postcards were like having a visit from a friend each day...and that's what I want for everyone ;^)

This will be an International swap, and you will have 1 partner. For 6 days, you will commit to mailing a purchased postcard to your partner. Please include a note on your postcards (a few ideas....tell your partner something about your day, a favorite hobby, something interesting about where you live, etc...make it interesting and chatty), include the swap name, and mail them naked and stamped. In keeping with the spirit of this swap, please make sure your letter carrier receives your postcard DAILY or that you drop it off to your postal clerk DAILY. In other words, if you drop that day's postcard in a postal box AFTER HOURS, it will probably be processed in the following days mail, creating a break in your partner's daily postcard receipts. If a break happens, it happens, but as far as we can control our end of the swap, let's try to have consecutive cancellation dates on our postcards. After all, we're striving for 6 days of DAILY postcards.

ATTN: If your PO is closed on Jan.3, just send 2 PCs on Jan.4. We aren't going to cry over a break here and there. Just do the best you can and have FUN!!!

You will have until January 1 to sign up for the swap. I'll assign partners on Sunday, January 2. You will mail out the first PC on Monday, January 3. The last card should be mailed out on Saturday, January 8....6 postcards....6 days total....

Newbies are OK with a well filled out profile. If your ratings are questionable, I will not allow you to participate. This is fun...I hope many of you will join up!!

I don't want to sound awkward....but Jan 3rd is a Public Holiday here in the UK so post offices wont be open to be able to mail the first card???

OK....no problem. I know that problems do happen....just send 2 on Jan.4. As I said in the instructions above, breaks do happen...especially in international postings. This is all to have fun...no stress!! I'll make a little change in the description to reflect this ;^)

I assume we don't click "sent" until the last card goes out?
