Description:

This is our very first group swap!!!!!!! I thought I would keep it simple.. a handmade postcard (backed with something sturdy) that represents where you live.. you can draw, do mixed media, collage, paint, whatever you like.. Make sure it is :

  • at least 4"x6"

  • naked - stamped, written on, and NOT in an envelope

  • sturdy and well-made - you probably don't want to many items sticking up that can get ripped off or end up getting the card destroyed. .I personally laminate mine but you don't HAVE to.

  • representative (in the sender's opinion) of the state/community you live in

Yall are the bomb so I know I dont have to put the usual thing rules.. flake on one of our swaps though - and you will be out of the group, period.

While I would love to do this swap, I think it only fair to join when I am actually in Florida (November to April). (";)

TerryF 06/21/2011 #

OK, I will join, but if anyone has a problem mailing to Canada (hopefully the mail strike will be over by then) please let me know and I will bow out on this one. (";)

yay!! Hey Im sure it will be over by then - and I will extend the date on it if necessary. BTW - if any of you ladies didn't know - I told Miss Terry to please join us - I dont care if it's not the time of yr that she is in Florida ;-)

Ok - So I make my own postcard and send it like a regular postcard correct? Do I laminate it before or after I decorate it? I've never done a postcard! Eek!

PinkLotus 06/21/2011 #

laminate AFTER it's decorated and after you have written your note and recipient's address.. but BEFORE you put on the stamp.. laminate then put the stamp on..

This sounds like a great first swap. Does our group have a group Flickr account so we can post photos and see everyone's creations?

PinkLotus 07/ 5/2011 #

no but that is a most excellent idea!! I will create one and post a link
