Description:
Round 1 went well, so let's have another go! Weird, weird, weird! Send one weird store-bought postcard to one partner. What's a weird postcard? Anything you think is strange, or odd, or makes you think, 'wtf?' or maybe just something you don't see very often. This is not the swap for tourist cards! Use similarly weird stamps... they can look strange or just be atypical to your country at the time (maybe some stamps from an old collection, current special-edition stamps). Use your imagination! Write anything you like on the card but if you want to stick with the theme and write something weird that you heard or something weird you can do (let's keep it PG please!) then go ahead, you get extra cool points for really getting into the theme! Rules: - Store-bought cards only. Why? Because it's probably pretty easy to make a weird looking card! - Naked cards: no envelopes! - Newbies welcome with complete profile. All others swappers must have a 4.9 rating. So! To review: Weird card, weird stamps, one partner. Those are the requirements! Let's go!

so this kind of stamp is made by ourselves? if I have some real and special ones, that will be ok?

I have a question.. how can you use strange or old stamps? I mean, here in Italy if the letter/postcard doesn't have the current stamp, can't be sent and the postman send it back to the sender! So, let me know. Thank you.

@krizia you can put more than one stamp on the card, until it adds up to the correct postage. (I have done this.) Or you can put a current stamp and an old stamp together.

Thanks to @violagirl for answering - thats exactly how it's done if you use older stamps!

Here in Canada the post office often puts out current limited edition stamps with different (and sometimes strange) pictures, this is my inspiration for this swap!
