Description:

We've all had this happen: a postcard or two in your collection gets kind of mangled. Maybe it got stepped on, maybe something was spilled on it. Maybe it's bent. Or maybe a corner was torn off. Whatever the reason, your postcard is now less than perfect. And may be you don't feel so good about sending it to someone, because you don't want them to think you don't care.

We're going to fix that with this swap.

Find a postcard that's seen better days. Address it to your partner, and write a short note about why it's damaged. It doesn't have to be a true note, maybe aliens borrowed it, or your non existent dog ripped the corner off.

Then send it off, knowing your postcard will have a good home elsewhere, and you don't have to feel guilty that it's not pristine. This swap is Sender's Choice for the postcard, what's damaged to you may not be damaged to the person receiving the card, but all that matters is you consider it damaged.

This is also Sender's Choice for the mailing form. You can send it naked (written on and stamped), in an envelope blank, in an envelope and written on, or some other method of your choosing. Want a shot at a heart? Check your partner's profile and see if they list how they prefer to receive cards.

4.85 or higher rating, newbies allowed. This is a simple swap folks, you should already have the postcard with you, so no flaking please. I will angel, I have a pile of damaged postcards.

I love this series of swaps. My latest "Seen Better Days" postcard was only bought a few days ago. When I got it home I accidentally dropped it on the floor and then stood on it. It now has lovely creases.

When I did #5, I was pulling a postcard out of a book to use, and the whole side tore. So, instead of sorting through my pile of already damaged ones, I just wrote a note on it right then, and stuck it in my pile of swaps.

I found one in my bookbag, wrote it out that day and waiting for the partner to send it too.
