Description:

For this swap:

  • You will create 1 HANDMADE postcard for 1 partner - storebought postcards will qualify you for a 3 rating for not following instructions.

  • Card MUST MUST MUST be sent naked - meaning stamped, written on, and NOT in an envelope.

  • Card MUST MUST MUST be sturdy enough to make it thru the postal system intact.

  • Theme AND size is sender's choice

  • Can be drawn, collaged, painted, etc - your choice. If you choose to collage if must be more than one element on the card - not just gluing a printed pic onto the card and calling it done. You may use stickers but no "sticker slapping" (if you don't know what this means pls pm me).

  • Do your best work - something YOU would be happy to recieve

  • No flaking - you will be reported sitewide as a flaker and banned from any of my future swaps.

  • Newbies accepted on a case by case basis with a well filled out profile with at LEAST 1 type 3 swap rating.

  • No recent or multiple 1's or 3's - I will review ratings throughout the sign up time period and ban those whom I deem too risky. I am very particular about my swaps and want to have all my participants enjoy the experience. For this reason it's rarely necessary, but I will angel if need be.

  • I am leaving this an international swap. Keep in mind it is a bit more to send a postcard - $1.10 from the US abroad.

  • Any questions? Please PM me... i don't check the swap comments every day.

Thank you I will correct that..I forgot it had gone up.

until sign up closes i will make periodic sweeps of the participants to check ratings and ban folks when necessary. I am very picky about my participants.. it's nothing personal but if anything in the ratings causes me even a tiny bit of concern, I will remove the swapper for the greater good.

I was wondering(since I am a newbie)....do we actually address, stamp and write a message on the postcards we make and send?

Sherri9 09/15/2013 #

Alyak - yes that is rule #2 above. Naked= write on it, address it, stamp on it and mail it just as postcards are intended to be used. Hope this helps!
