Description:

This swap is for those of us that have a stash of lovely postcards that we send out - but we look at some of them and think "I'd love to have that one written and stamped for my collection"! I love collecting naked and stamped postcards, empty ones just don't do much for me. I've seen this idea in the past but I have no idea who started it, so if anyone knows tell me and I'll give them credit for the idea!

So, two steps---

  1. Pick out two cards from your unwritten stash that you'd love to have someone send you written and stamped. Send each partner a postcard in an envie - make sure you include a note to say what swap this is for! You can even go ahead and put your name and address on it if you'd like - and even include postage IF YOU WANT (not required) but in case you want a certain stamp from your collection or something.

  2. Once you receive the postcard from your partner, then write something interesting on the back, stamp it, and send it back to them!

Rating---

Since this is done out of the norm, the rating will come when you send your postcard in an envie to your partner.

Getting it back written on will be done on the honor system. It would be great if when you receive your postcard back you could go to their profile and let them know you've received it - you can also let us know here you received it in a note on the swap!

Rules---

Due to the nature of this swap, I will only accept swappers with a 4.9 rating (NO 1's at ALL for any reason) - no newbies this time, sorry. I want to lessen the chance of flaking with the more in depth rules this requires.

Your rules suck. I have a totally bogus 1 rating even though I sent the card THREE times. To have hard and fast rules are very unfair.

Clearly that would be the best way to negotiate a compromise. Sheesh.

Yay! Round #3! :) Watching.... and will join soon.

Yes, my rules are hard and fast, but not as hard and fast as you might think for those that choose to message me with their situation. I have always attempted to help anyone that comes to me with an unfounded 1, giving them the advice to speak to Rachel about it as she has helped me with this issue in the past as well as many others I know. I do wish you'd have come to me in a message to tell me my rules suck, or even to explain the situation to see if there was a way to get around it, instead of leaving a nasty message on my swap.

@druideye Very kind and gracious in response. You go girl! I LOVE THIS SWAP and I appreciate the rules you set! Keep up the great work!
