Number of swap partners:3
Description:

This is my first time in hosting a swap and I thought I would start out with something simple.

For this swap you will send 1 weathered/naked postcard of your choice to each of your 3 partners.

These can be store bought, homemade or free/ad postcards.

Don't forget to write a quick "Hi, how are you?" to your partner and be sure to include the Swap name and your Swap-bot user name so they can rate you.

Swap is USA only and is open to Newbies with a filled out profile and anyone with a 4.5 or higher rating.

I will also be checking profiles before partners are assigned to make sure you don't have any recent 1's or no-sends. I don't need any FLAKERS on my first go around as Hostess.

In the event that a FLAKER does get by me, I will happily Angel this swap.

I hope this will turn out great and be a lot of fun. If it does, I would like to host some themed PC swaps in the future.

Any questions or suggestions, please message me.

please tell me what a weathered/naked postcard is...I"m clueless. Also, what's a free/ad postcard? Thanks

Jenann82 12/21/2008 #

Hi Kimi, Weathered or naked simply means that you send it through the mail without putting it in an envelope. The actual postcard gets written on, stamped and sent. As far as an example of what a free or ad postcard is, have you ever stayed in a hotel or a motel and on the desk or table they sometimes lay out a folder or something with a selection of postcards, paper, envelopes, pens? That stuff has the hotel/motel logo and the postcard either has the company logo or it has a picture of the location you stayed at. I hope that clears things up for you.

Postcard of "our choice". Do the postcards have to be from the same state we live in?

Hi, I'm new to swap bot & thought this was a cool swap. PhoenixLM

Jenann82 01/ 5/2009 #

Hi Mary. The postcards can be of anything you like.

Jenann82 01/ 5/2009 #

Welcome to Swap bot and thanks for the comment PhoenixLM. I am excited about this swap as it is the first one I am hosting. Only a few more hours and I will be able to assign partners. I have mine all ready to go!

jknncmusiclover 01/ 5/2009 #

I'm new here and i collect post cards. I'd love to join in if its not too late.

Jenann82 01/ 6/2009 #

yup you made it jknncmusiclover, welcome to the swap!

momtogus 01/ 6/2009 #

My postcards are on their way! If you are receiving one from me, remember that I live at a military base overseas, so it will take a few days to get to you.

ChelelosGirl 01/ 6/2009 #

omg, sorry but I'm new to this site - how do I find my partners???

ChelelosGirl 01/ 6/2009 #

nevermind, I'm a moron :-)))

Jenann82 01/ 6/2009 #

No, you are not a moron...it took me a little bit to get used to where to look for things here as well. I will be happy to help you out if you have any other questions. ;)

I am so excited to be doing this swap. I am a newbie with one swap under my belt (my swap partner flaked, but swap hostess swapped with me). I am off to read my swap partners profiles. Just a little FYI if you have a Half Price Bookstore in your town/city, they sell postcards 12 for $1.

Jenann82 01/ 6/2009 #

Welcome to Swap-bot and thanks for joining my swap Omato5. I am sorry your first swap was with a flaker. Kudos to your swap hostess for stepping up to make sure the swap was covered. I will also make sure that anyone who joins my swap will receive something in the unfortunate event of a flaker being involved in one of my swaps. Have fun and Happy Swapping!

I just sent my cards :)

Tinker60 01/ 6/2009 #

Just dropped my cards in the mail. . . 'course they won't leave this area until morning, but they're on their way!!! This was my first swap and it was fun : )

Tinker60 01/ 6/2009 #

Forgot to say. . .PhoenixLM, fill in your personal info in your profile so folks will know more about you and your likes/dislikes. I'm new too and it took me awhile to figure out what I was supposed to do. . . and I still haven't figured out how to add an 'icon picture' to my profile!

Louvegas 01/ 7/2009 #

My cards are in the mail....I had fun making the postcard based on my partners profiles. I love this site, I am so glad a friend told me about it. This was my very first swap, but I have signed up for more.

PhoenixLM 01/ 8/2009 #

Hi I got these sent out today thanks for hosting this swap!

Omato5 01/ 8/2009 #

I forgot to post that all my swaps went out earlier this week. But I did remember to click sent when I mailed them all. Loved the simplicity of the swap.

Jenann82 01/ 8/2009 #

Hi everyone. I know the swap is not over yet but I would just like to take a minute and say thank you for making my first swap as hostess a great one. There was a larger turnout that I expected and that only added to the fun. I can't wait to get another one started soon. I see that most everyone has already sent out their postcards and if you haven't...no worries yet. You still have a few days before they have to be postmarked. If there are any problems with sending out your swap or any reason you may be late, please let your partners and me know. I look forward to swapping with all of you again and again, thanks for joining the Senders Choice Postcard Swap.

IM NEW TO THIS HOW TO WE RESPONDE WHEN WE GET POST CARDS

jknncmusiclover 01/ 9/2009 #

Im sorry i swore i added my screen name to the bottom left corner of all the postcards

Tinker60 01/10/2009 #

HELP! When I go to rate my partners after I receive a PC, the rating list that pops up for rate coordinator/partners is NOT the gals my 'send to' list had me send to . . anyone else have this problem? HELP!

Tinker60 01/10/2009 #

Don't need help on the partner thing. . . another DUH for me!!! I thought we were exchanging with those we sent to, but now have it figured out!!! Sorry for the posting . . . I'm a newbie but I'm learning : )

Omato5 01/13/2009 #

I totally forgot to list my user name on the postcards I sent. I know two of my ones that I sent out have been received and they posted/rated under my user name without my having listed it. So I guess that is o.k.?

Omato5 01/19/2009 #

Well, it seems that each swap I sign up for, I am always going to be the one that it is hard to get swappers to rate. I don't know if the one that hasn't rated me didn't get my card, or if they just pooped out. So goes life, right? Anyways I just wanted to say that I enjoyed receiving my three cards and having the chance to rate three swappers.
