Description:

Here's how it works:

Just take a postcard of any type, store bought or home made and write a recipe on the back. It can be a recipe for anything...soup, dessert, cocktails, side dish, whatever you prefer, but it must start with the letter of the swap. This swap's letter is "C"..Crazy Cake, Cinnamon Buns, Chocolate Martini... you get the idea! You can cheat and do something like Carol's Pea Soup, but let's try to keep those at a minimum.

If you are going to make your postcards, please make something that you'd like to receive. Take time making it, and make it nice!

You will send one (1) postcard with a recipe to four (4) partners.

The postcard itself does not have to have a recipe on it. The postcard can be of anything at all, but instead of writing a note you will write a recipe. Short recipes are easiest to fit on the PC so they can be read easily

The postcard 4x6" or 5x7" in size and sent naked..

Don't forget to put the name of the swap and your name on the postcard so your partner can rate you!!

This swap is newbie friendly, as long as they are serious about completing the swap, and have a well filled out profile. They need to start swapping some where!

I will be checking profiles and dashboards before I assign partners so make sure that you are up to date and you have no recent ones or unexplained threes!

I will not be able to angel these swaps, so show good swap behavior and keep them flaker free!

*One last note. The alphabet idea is just to give us a direction. If you miss a few or if we've already started and you didn't start with us, don't be afraid to start up. The idea is to spread delicious recipes across the country :)

I'm still fairly new to swap bot. What do you mean by naked postcards since we are writing a recipe on them? :)

I was wondering if anybody has any food allergies or does not want to receive a certain type of recipe? I know sometimes these things are listed in profiles, but other times not. I personally would take any recipe, but would want to be sensitive to a person's dietary restrictions like gluten free or maybe personal lifestyle like vegan or kosher.

I think I could help with the naked postcard question. Just means a stamped postcard not sent in an envelope.

This swap is USA. Why did I get a Canadian address to send to?

Susi 06/27/2014 #

I'm not sure how that happened @magnolia71 and to the others who also have recieved that person as a partner. I will have to make sure that it's very clear that this is a USA only swap after this. All I can ask of you is that you go ahead and send a postcard to that person. In the meantime, I will investigate as to why it happened. I apologize to all of you!

@msjj83 You can send a message to each of your partners to find out any pertinent info like that.

Ok I am really new and I have made up my postcards I am excited to send them out. It says I have been assigned my 4 partners I can seem to find where they are though?
