Description:

I thought I would mix things up and try something new here in the group. Let's see how this goes!

I love the idea of sending a postcard out into the world, and having it returned and being able to see everywhere it's been.

Since this is our first round:

You will need to pick a postcard. Any postcard that you like or find interesting. Please do not use an extra large postcard that will require extra postage. On the right hand side of the card, you will put your name and address, including country. Put your swap-bot name and swap name at the top of the left hand side. Put it in an envelope and mail it off to your partner.

You will hang onto the postcard that you receive, until the next round. Further instructions will be given then. A new round will be started as soon as everyone has clicked "Sent" in this round. Sign up for the next round once it's posted. If for some reason you do not get a card from your partner in time, you can start a new one into rotation.

Please, please, please only join if you are committed to this. This will be a long ongoing swap, so if you feel you may not have the time to commit, please do not join. I want to make sure that everyone will get a filled card back at some point down the road. You do not need to sign up for every single round, but let's ensure everyone receives their postcard back!

NOTE: Do NOT send the postcard back to the original owner until the left side of the postcard is completely filled, unless you are instructed otherwise. Please respect and take care of the card while it's in your posession. Do not bend, write on the front of, or anything else that destroys the integrity of the postcard.

If you stop swapping for more than three rounds, your card will be sent back to you if it's still in rotation. It wouldn't be fair for someone to get a filled card back, if they are not willing to put in the same amount of work as everyone else.

If there isn't enough initial interest in this type of swap, it will be cancelled. Any questions, please comment below or PM me :)

Happy swapping!

Where are some good places to find postcards that aren't location related?

@ixistellar I have found postcard books and boxed postcards on half.com and amazon. I also buy tons of postcards on ebay, that are not touristy/location postcards. Hope this helps :)

Thanks! I found some on amazon.com that I ordered, but I'll try those places next time :)
