FPRU: Cut n Paste PC October

Global. Only join if you can expect that your postcard will get to your partner within 2-5 weeks. Check your post office website for international delays and restrictions.

Look through any magazines, catalogs, calendars, books, etc and find an interesting picture/illustration that will fit on a postcard. This is not a collage, it's one picture that you find that's about the size of a postcard.

Cut-n-paste the picture onto a piece of cardboard, or old cereal box chipboard, or heavy cardstock.

For example here's a postcard I made from a photo in a CAA Magazine:

You will be assigned one partner. Send the postcard with a short note on the back. I like to write where I got the cut-out picture from (as well as a short greeting).

Include your swap-bot username and the name of the swap on the postcard.

Important administration stuff:

Finished

I check to see that everyone is rated and will add a "Finished" stamp to the Discussion section when all postcards are sent, received and rated.

Nudge

I send out nudge 'please rate' messages around the one month mark after everyone has mailed their cards. Please, no serial nudging, it makes my hosting job harder. Rate quickly so it doesn't end up forgotten in a pile of postcards.

If you haven't received a postcard around the one month mark, let me know.

Blank comments

When rating please comment on the card received. Let's make our partners feel like their postcard matters. So please, no blank comments. Example of what you could write: Thank you for {describe the item}. It brightened my day...Thank you for the Van Gogh sunflower postcard. It brightened my day.

See my hosting style write-up on my profile page.
