She did an electronic version but I prefer snail mail so I'm hosting that type.  &#13;
  &#13;
For this swap, you will have 2 partners. You will send them each 3 photos that you took during the holiday season. On the backs of the photos you will write a tiny bit (a sentence or two) about the photo. Ideally the photos should include some amount of the holiday tradition that you have. (This is not limited to Christmas but is to be for holidays celebrated in December.)&#13;
   &#13;
The photos need to be professionally printed or printed on a high quality printer.  &#13;
  &#13;
Newbies are welcome to join as long as they have at least 5 sentences on their profile. All others cannot have any 1s or 3s from the past year. Everyone needs to have been online a minimum of a week prior to assigning partners.&#13;

&#13;
This is an international swap.&#13;
&#13;
You can send neat friendship books that are already in circulation, or just new ones, or a mix. That's up to you. No homers please, unless you checked with your partner and they don't mind.&#13;
&#13;
The requirement is that the friendship books are neat, no sloppy ones and no friendship sheets. They have to be booklets.&#13;
&#13;
I classified this swap as a type 2: flat mail. But if the friendship books are a bit heavy, it can be a type 3, please be aware of that.&#13;
&#13;
Any questions, feel free to ask me in a message.&#13;
&#13;
No 1 or 3's in the last 6 months without any explanation.&#13;
&#13;
Happy swapping :-)</description><pubDate>Fri, 20 Nov 2026 00:00:00 -0800</pubDate></item><item><title>Adventures of the Traveling Letter Int'l #24</title><link>http://www.swap-bot.com//swap/show/384004</link><guid>http://www.swap-bot.com//swap/show/384004</guid><description>Here's how it works:&#13;
&#13;
     - If this is your first round or you are starting a new letter:&#13;
&#13;
Take one 8.5 x11 inch piece of paper. Write the name of the swap (including the round #), your name and address at the top of the page. Write a paragraph, approximately five sentences. You may write about anything you wish - who you are, where you're from, what you're doing today, what you love, etc. Please include the date, what the weather is like, and your Swap Bot username with your entry.&#13;
&#13;
If you don't want the back side of your letter written on, please make a note of that at the top of your letter.&#13;
&#13;
Don't forget to include a note with the swap name and your user ID so your partner can rate you.&#13;
&#13;
Finally, put the letter in an envelope and send it to your partner.&#13;
&#13;
     - If you participated in previous rounds:&#13;
&#13;
Write a paragraph (approx. 5 sentences) on the letter you received in the previous round. Include the round number, date, name and Swap Bot username. You can write about anything - how your day is going, the weather, your hobbies, something that's going on in your life, etc.&#13;
&#13;
If your partner started the letter you have, please start a new letter. &#13;
&#13;
You can send up to 3 letters per round. Hang on to extra letters you have and send them in future rounds.&#13;
&#13;
You can write on the back side of the letter you have unless there is a note on the top of the letter asking you not to.&#13;
&#13;
Don't forget to include a note with the swap name and your user ID so your partner can rate you.&#13;
&#13;
If you're the last person to sign a letter, please send it home to its owner.&#13;
&#13;
     - Important:&#13;
&#13;
You can send up to 3 letters per round. Hang on to extra letters you have and send them in future rounds.&#13;
&#13;
Please do not join this swap if you can not commit to joining each round. It's okay if you need to skip a round on occasion. I understand sometimes something unexpected might come up that will make it so you can't continue to participate in the swaps. That's okay. If that happens, please contact me and I'll have you send the letter(s) you have to me so I can keep them circulating.&#13;
&#13;
There is no rating requirement. All I ask is that you are an established user with a well filled out profile and no recent or unresolved 1s or 3s. I will check profiles and ban anyone who looks sketchy or who does not meet the requirements. If you have any questions about your eligibility in joining this swap, send me a message.&#13;

&#13;
Send your partner a postcard with a thoughtful, encouraging message &mdash; like a tiny pick-me-up from a stranger who hopes you&rsquo;re doing okay. 💌&#13;
&#13;
Each swapper will be matched with 5 partners. They will be assigned on Sunday, Nov. 15th. Please mail out by Wednesday, Nov. 18! &#13;
&#13;
This is sender&rsquo;s choice for the postcard itself, but please put care into your note! Share a few uplifting words, encouragement, something that made you smile recently, a cozy thought, or even just a reminder that someone out there is rooting for them. &#13;
&#13;
Please write at least 2&ndash;3 meaningful sentences rather than just a quick &ldquo;hope you&rsquo;re well.&rdquo; The goal is to brighten someone&rsquo;s day with a postcard that feels personal and heartfelt.&#13;
&#13;
Requirements: &#13;
-Store-bought or nicely handmade postcards welcome! &#13;
-Written, stamped, and sent naked! &#13;
-Remember to place your user and swap title on your card for easy rating! (want to abbreviate the swap to save space? go ahead- just make sure that your partners can tell what swap it is! ex. US PC PMU #4)&#13;
&#13;
This swap is for US based swappers only. &#13;
&#13;
Newbies welcome with a well-filled-out profile! &#13;
---&gt;Please note, I may drop users from this swap if they seem fishy or haven't been active lately to avoid potential flakers. &#13;
I will angel if necessary - please message your partners and communicate with any issues you have! &lt;3  &#13;
&#13;
Don't be flaky- this is all about spreading KIND to our friends across the miles. Please rate promptly and kindly- send a message to your partner before throwing them a 1. Let's keep it KIND!&#13;
&#13;
Let&rsquo;s spread a little kindness around the world, one postcard at a time. </description><pubDate>Wed, 18 Nov 2026 00:00:00 -0800</pubDate></item><item><title>Themed Christmas postcard swap #12-Candy Cane</title><link>http://www.swap-bot.com//swap/show/383993</link><guid>http://www.swap-bot.com//swap/show/383993</guid><description>Send your partner a Christmas/seasons greetings/holiday postcard that has a **candy cane** somewhere on the front of the postcard. Storebought only. Send written and stamped.&#13;
&#13;
This will be a series of swaps up through Christmas. I will keep it going if it goes well and there is interest. We will start with some easier themes and work toward some that may be more difficult to find. (Please do not join if you don&rsquo;t meet these requirements! I hate banning people from swaps.)&#13;
&#13;
USA only (feel free to host an international version)&#13;
&#13;
Must have 50 type 2 and 3 swaps under your belt and no 1 ratings. This is a little more challenging to angel, so I&rsquo;m setting the requirements higher.&#13;
&#13;
*Future themes:*&#13;
&#13;
Bells&#13;
