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.

4.9 or higher rating, newbies allowed. I reserve the right to remove anyone from the swap, for any reason, including, but not limited to: one of either a 1 or a 3 rating in the last 6 months, past due swaps on your dashboard, previous flake outs, etc.

If you are a newbie, you must fill out your profile. I don't expect a novel, or for you to fill in everything (your favorite movie tells me nothing). But, I do expect information about you, and some likes and dislikes. One paragraph is not enough, you will be removed. Most of the recent flakers in my swaps have been newbies, if this continues I will not allow newbies to participate.

This is a simple swap folks, you should already have the postcard with you, so no flaking please. I will angel the swap.

I have wondered where this swap has been.

Mid April work kicked into high gear, and I barely had the energy to do more than read things on Swap Bot. I'm trying to get back to hosting this regularly now.

Happy to see this swap back! Last time I was too much of a newbie so I didn't even try to get in.

Thank you, this is a wonderful idea. I have a lot of material to choose from for this swap... if you keep Love Birds or Parrots you would know why!
