Description:

This is a Cardboard Postcard swap (CBPC). You will send one card each to TEN partners. This will happen faster than usual - THERE IS ONLY ONE WEEK TO GET YOUR CHUNKS INTO THE MAIL!! Here's your chance to clean out some of that stash of cardboard you've been hoarding.

The postcards should be made out of any kind of reused cardboard saved from the trash/recycling. Please use only CLEAN cardboard. Additional decoration is strictly optional - only a chunk o' cardboard is required - and decoration (if any) is sender's choice. This is a Letters and Writing swap, so please be sure to include a message.

The maximum postcard size which can be sent for the first class letter rate is 6-1/8" x 11-1/2".

The maximum postcard size which can be sent for the postcard rate is 4-1/4" x 6".

If you have any questions, please PM me - I don't check the comments often.

Some Housekeeping Info

Firstly, thanks so much for joining my swaps, people. It's a lot fun for me. They've grown in size to the point where I need to take some steps to control the amount of time that it takes to manage them.

  • Communicate Communicate Communicate I won't be checking to see who's naughty and who's nice. I'm counting on you to let me know about any problems. If you have a question or problem, please let your partner know and give them a chance to respond. If can't resolve the issue, then let me know and I'll do what I can to help work it out.

  • Senders Please send your items on time and remember to mark your swap as "sent". Please let your partner know if you are going to send late. Many swappers won't mind a bit of delay as long as you keep people informed. Before assigning partners for future swaps, I will remove anyone has not marked an item "sent" for a previous swap. If you want to be in the next swap, then send your items and mark them as sent.

  • Recipients If you haven't received anything a week or two after the swap deadline, please let your partner know. If you still don't receive an item (or a satisfactory response), leave a "1" rating then contact me to send an angel replacement. I will angel only if you rate the swap appropriately. Accurate ratings are the only way I can weed out unreliable senders from future swaps. And that's good for everyone.

I hope we make it to 10 swappers! Come on, people, let's make it happen.

Haha. I was JUST thinking that myself. Well, with 6 people we'll have at least 5 partners. That's a few more than the regular 3-card swap. But hopefully we'll have a few more join before the cutoff!

Just a few more to go. I've got my chunks all picked out!

I found a stash that I made a long time ago with a "postcard" stamp on the back. It'll be nice to get them out of the fabric box where I have been hoarding them because that poor box is getting ready to explode!

Oh good! We got nine!
