A quick personal note about ratings: I rate immediately (the day I receive) for ALL of my swaps. If you haven’t received a rating from me, it is because I haven't received the swap yet. No exceptions. It isn’t fun to chase down partners trying to find out if they received my swap so I wanted to put this right up front! I will not sign up for a swap if I know I am going to be busy or out of town during the time it’s due to arrive. The courtesy of acknowledgment is that important to me! ❤️**************************************************

I come from a long line of old-fashioned letter writers and to this day, I still treasure the letters I received, all the way back to my great-grandparents, now long gone!

I always appreciate the effort and creativity spent by those who send, and I love to be surprised! It does seem the majority of senders prefer a list to work from so, I kindly oblige:

These days I tend to focus on postcard swaps …

FOR BLANK POSTCARD SWAPS:

• any of the Starry Night themes

• cows, pigs, fox, ladybugs, rabbits, bumblebee

• nurses or teachers, anything for/about

• any birthday or holiday themes

• ice cream, doughnuts or cupcakes

• billiards or coin-op games

• wine or champagne

• USPS commemorative stamp postcards

• Frida Kahlo, Van Gogh, Chihuly, Ansel Adams, Frank Lloyd Wright

• Smiley face 🙂 themes, hearts, or general cheerfulness

• I send postcards to many senior citizens who don’t have family so anything neutral, colorful, and/or cheery that I can use to share joy with them would be a perfect choice! (cats, cute kittens or puppies, pretty birds or butterflies or flowers also good choices for them) ❤️⬇️

• dolphins, seashells, beach, Adirondack chairs

• golf or baseball

• cardinals (the bird or the baseball team)

• owls or a phoenix

• fancy cocktails, peaches or other pretty fruit
