Please write on, stamp and post mark mine, no envelopes please!!!!

jakfrostwife 03/17/2007 #

Envelopes? That's just crazy talk.......lol....it's a POSTcard!

missfunk 04/ 2/2007 #

Looking forward to this one =) Would of joined the yellow one, but alas no yellow postcards in my collection!

user7633 04/15/2007 #

I'm brand new here, just now joined Swap-Bot. Blue is my favorite color, so this is the perfect postcard swap to begin with. If we opt to make (as opposed to buying) the postcards we send, we just send them, the postcards, as regular postcards to our partners? As in use them as postcards, not just make them and send one to each partner in an envelope for the partner to use as (s)he chooses? I hope this isn't too stupid a question; like I said, this is my first go at this type of swap, and I want to be sure I do it right.

lizjane86 04/16/2007 #

I agree, jakfrostwife, postcards and envelopes do not belong :P

BarefootGypsy 04/29/2007 #

Hello All! I'm new to swap bot, and thought this would be a fun way to integrate myself into this wonderful world! I never knew something like this existed! Where do we find the addresses to people to send them to?

missfunk 04/29/2007 #

hooray - this starts real soon!

SharonF 04/30/2007 #

Hello Mela & Everyone! I can't wait to start the postcards...I'm so excited!

mela 04/30/2007 #

@ Barefoot Gypsy: After the sign up date i will assign partners. Swap-bot than emails each participant after the sign up deadline to let them know that they can now access their recipient's name and address. Participants must log back in to Swap-bot to get this information. Swap-bot also sends out reminder emails to participants close to the mail deadline. The F.A.Q. Page is also very helpfull if you are a newbie and have more questions! have fun swapping :o)

kiwivandal 05/ 1/2007 #

Hey everybody... There will be a change in the United States Postal system on May 14th, everything including postcards will now be charged postage by size and orientation (meaning where you put your postage will also determine how much you pay). Instead of being based on weight (although that factors in differently now). Check out the post card regulations (as they are different than before) at www.usps.com. I know this won't make so much difference this time around, but next month and for all other swaps it will...

I've loved these color themed postcard swaps--great variety. Although I agree that the yellow ones were harder to find than any of the other colors...weird....

DancingCrow 05/ 3/2007 #

pixy613, oceanmom, PamBartlow your postcards are in the mail this afternoon. I'm mildly apologetic about putting them in envelopes, but one had flappy things that the post office gets agitated about...

SummerLion 05/13/2007 #

Marlene, you are amazing. The quilted card is gorgeous -- and it made it through the postal system intact, including beads. Definitely made my day. I'm going to find a good way to display this one. Thank you!

SummerLion 05/13/2007 #

lisapotterylady: I think your card must be for this swap, as it is a beautiful mostly blue pic of Mt. Ranier. But not sure, as you didn't note the swap. Thank you!

KarlaKC 07/29/2007 #

I hope my partners believe in the old motto "Better Late Than Never"!

I ran into some personal situations and the past few months have been overwhelming for me. I'm back at Swap-bot now to take care of the few unfinished swaps from May with much regret for having let it go so long undone.

Postcards were mailed today to Eva (rnwannabe), Cheryl, and Shannon (fivegallonbucket). Enjoy ladies!

With my sincerest apologies, Karla
