Hi, everyone! I love the "pass and paste" type postcards, don't you? So, here is what we are going to do for this swap:

Take a 4 inch by 6 inch piece of heavy cardstock (think cereal box weight). Securely glue a coloring picture on it. (Make sure it's secure. This is going in the mail). You may use a pre-printed coloring card, if you have one. Mark it off into four sections. Colour only one of the sections. Put your initials or moniker in the bottom of the section.

Now, turn the card over and address it to yourself. Leave room on this side for others to sign in. (Come on, we've all seen postcards. You know what to do. Make this side look like a postcard). Remember to leave room for the stamp.

Put that bad boy in an envelope and mail it off to your partner. That's it. You're done. Be sure to sign up for all 4 rounds. Every time you get a postcard, just color one section, and stick it in an envelope and mail it off. You may follow the color scheme of your partners or not. It's up to you.

When you are the last one to finish a card, drop it in the mail naked and send it back to it's owner.

The only complicated part about this is.. if you receive a card that you have already done a section, or if you get yours back again (it happens), you can either sit out the round or start a new postcard. Your choice. Just remember to keep them in rotation. If you start a new one, you will have to put the old one back in rotation with the next round. (So, conceivably, you may get 2 cards in one envelope).
OK, got it? Let's play!

Now, for the dull part. Ratings must be high enough to be in this group (I do check, by the way). No flakers, of course. You must commit to all 4 rounds or at least promise not to keep someone else's card. Let's not ruin it for someone else, okay? I will angel, once the appropriate rating has been given. Etc. Etc. Etc.

So, just to recap. 4 by 6 inch postcard, marked off into 4 sections. Color one section. One card to one partner. Sign up for all 4 rounds.

This is Round 1.

I have a question: Is the original person supposed to put postage on the postcard, or leave it to the last person (who colors in the 4th section)? Thanks!

oo, also, I have some beauties that are 4 3/4 " X 6 1/2" : would one of these be acceptable to send?

@phillaine The last person puts the stamp on it.
Yes, that size would work great.
