Description:

Note: I am making this a Regional: USA/Canada swap only because it's my first time hosting a swap! I can make an international one if enough people are interested!

(This swap idea and the majority of the information below is from a previous swap created by Alcomog. I liked the swap so much that wanted to host it too!)

For this swap, you will need to send one postcard to one person. The postcard you send, will be blank to start with, but i want you to draw a picture of the side of a mix tape on the front of the postcard. You can use any media you want, and draw it to the best of your abilities. On the back of the postcard, i would like you to write the names of artists and their songs that you would like to share with the person you send the card to. Please write down at least 10 artists, there is no upward limit, but please make sure that your writing is legible.

Be aware that there may be different genres on the postcard you receive. Please do not request a specific genre from your sender - that would spoil the fun of getting a surprise!

No recent 1's or 3's. Newbies welcome - please contact me if you need help. Please send on time. You are rating the postcard you receive based on the picture of the mixtape being handdrawn and there being at least 10 artists and songs on the back of it. I will be checking profiles. If you know of any questionable swappers who join up to this, please let me know.

Thank you and have fun!

*****DISCLAIMER***** THIS IS NOT A MIXTAPE SWAP. DO NOT SEND ANY MIXTAPES OUT. This would contravene Swap-Bot rules and is an issue of piracy. I take no responsibility for mixtapes being sent out as i have duly warned folk not to do this. Thank you:)

I'll be very happy to join if you ever decide to host an international version of this! :)

I'd be surprised if anyone does actually send any tapes, they are impossible to find anymore.

Do you know that it cost the same amount to send to Canada as it does to send to England now? As of Jan 28th.

RabbitHeart, I will take note of that and I'll send you a message if I ever do! (Which hopefully will be soon!)

danushaj, I think Alcomog just meant a mixtape/mix cd, but yeah blank tapes are hard to find!

vick302000- Does it really? I haven't looked at the rates lately.

This sounds like a cool swap! ...enviously watching from Canada! Have fun fellow-mix tape lovers!

@kindledwhimsy It says Canada is welcome too :)

Can we use 4x6 blank index cards as postcards?

theycallmeseanna 02/ 1/2013 #

My mixed tape postcard is already ready to be shipped out! (: I can't wait.

It took me a while to get there, but I found some blank postcards at Hobby Lobby so omit the index cards question. And I really love the idea of this swap, from handmaking a PC, to receiving a list of songs for me to check out! :)
