Description:

You'll send one greeting card to five random forumites. The usual rules apply.

Cards can be storebought or handmade. Storebought cards can be from boxes or individually purchased. Feel free to tailor them to your victim, but it's not necessary--this is Sender's Choice, including what holiday (if any) the cards are for. However, please respect your partner's choices (if any) regarding glitter and religious cards. (If in doubt, leave it out.)

Remember, you do NOT need to pay Hallmark prices for nice cards. Lots of stores have great boxed cards, and even the Dollar Stores have some quality ones. Handmade ones do not need to be gallery quality--it is honestly the effort and thought that counts.

Contact Breathe if you have questions!

Surcharge mail is a regular card that is odd sized (square, long and skinny, etc.) or contains a rigid object (pen, an ATC in a trading card holder, etc.) or, in the USA, weighs just a little extra.

Extending swap deadline by one day in hopes of getting Rubyheart her own admin-approved account so that she and Mangelo can both sign up from now on. Crossing fingers!
