Description:

NOTICE: September's swap will start a little earlier than normal as I'll be in England during the normal pick and send week. I'll extend the send by date in case anyone is late receiving their August cards and can't make an earlier date.

Wouldn't it be great to send a postcard and see where it had been all around the world? Then get it returned back to you after its adventures were over? Let's do it!

IF THIS IS YOUR FIRST ROUND:

Choose a card. A card that you think people would enjoy seeing (however, PLEASE DO NOT USE EXTRA LARGE POSTCARDS THAT WILL REQUIRE EXTRA POSTAGE!). Put your name and address (including the country!) on the right hand side of the card. Put the title of the swap ("Adventures of the Traveling Postcard") and your screen name at the top of the left hand side. PUT IT IN AN ENVELOPE and send it off to your partner. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

IF YOU PARTICIPATED IN THE PREVIOUS ROUND(S):

Just write your name, username, city, state/country, on the left hand side of the postcard you received in the previous round. Put it in an envelope and send it to your partner! (DO NOT WRITE YOUR ENTIRE ADDRESS ON THE POSTCARD - THIS TAKES UP TOO MUCH SPACE!)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hang on to the postcard(s) that you receive in each round. We will have another round as soon as everyone has clicked "Sent" in the previous round. (Sign up when you receive yours from the previous round, start another one in rotation, or contact me, as I may have a postcard that needs to be put back into rotation as well!) When the left side of the postcard is filled up with the names and cities of those that have received the postcard, the last person will stamp your actual postcard and send it back to you.

Well-established folks ONLY (50 or more Type 2/Type 3 swaps completed) and I will ban if I feel that you may be a questionable swapper. I want to do my best to ensure that everyone receives their postcards back. Thanks and happy swapping!

Please don't send more than 3 cards per round.

NOTE: Do NOT send the postcard back to the original owner until the left side of the postcard is completely filled unless instructed otherwise. CHECK TO MAKE SURE YOU'RE NOT SENDING YOUR PARTNER'S CARD BACK TO THEM AS PART OF THE SWAP ROUND YOU'RE ON.

ALSO: Do not destroy, bend, write on the front of, or ANYTHING else that destroys the integrity of the postcard. Treat the postcard how you would want yours treated.

Additionally: If you decide to stop the swap, please contact me so you can send your received cards to me and I can keep them in the rotation.

I have three cards belonging to @Rimbar that I will be splitting up so they don't all travel to the same places.

kim91262 08/ 1/2015 #

can you believe that in the last round i got my own card back (only 3 signatures so far) then in the very next round from my swap partner what did i receive? ANOTHER one of my unfinished post cards - this time it's ¾ full! What are the chances?! :)

qwerty2k 08/ 1/2015 #

I will be sending on @coolbeans postcard from R39.

lostinavalon 08/ 2/2015 #

@kim91262 : That is not acceptable in this swap and has been made very clear in the instructions. PMing you now.

Mimi7 08/ 4/2015 #

Sarah Coller , I have your card to pass on, it is from round 37 Pattie McDlimans also have your card to pass on it is from round 35 and is getting pretty full, Betty Maxwell, I have your card to pass on, it is from round 34 and getting full also I have received this card twice so I signed it both times, it must like me LOL Katka Lovfllova I have your card from round 43 to pass on I got all 4 of these cards last round!!

Mimi7 08/ 4/2015 #

OOPs that is Pattie McClimans sorry

kim91262 08/ 4/2015 #

sorry for the confusion @lostinavalon The partners who had my cards were randomly assigned to me by swap-bot! They swapped right (in an envie), they just had my card to pass along to me :) and that it happened twice in a row was a really strange coincidence!

pne 08/ 4/2015 #

I will be away during the week of sending.

Rather than risk taking my current cards with me on holiday, I'll skip this round.

NatashaMay 08/ 5/2015 #

Are there any extra cards that can be sent to me so I don't have to send on my own again? I'll wait a round if I have to for the card/s to get to me. I'm in Europe.

And if anyone has my card, please give me a shout out. :) Nataša May, Slovenia

tizzicat 08/ 5/2015 #

I'm sure my cards are disappearing into a black hole - I started in R.9 and have never seen my cards or even seen them mentioned! Think I've got three on the go now.

coolbeans 08/ 5/2015 #

Thank you @qwerty2k for ending on my PC

thisismeAXiD 08/ 5/2015 #

I'm sending on a pc that belongs to @hereintherain I'm only the 4th signer.

Has anyone seen mine? Meredith from Wisconsin. There's a sea turtle one glaring about that I'm really hoping to get back. I would think it's full by now :-\

AmookIslandCreations 08/ 6/2015 #

I have Donna, from Kent, WA; Melissa from Augusta, GA; and Barb, from Elgin, IL that I will be sending forward in Swap Round 45. Hugs from Alaska, Sherry

CindyST 08/ 6/2015 #

I have 4 postcards to send on. @littlequilax , Tania Neirinckx ,Theresa Mather and @mimi7

I thought I had joined the last swap but must skipped actually hitting the "Join Swap" button. Duh.

Coss 08/ 6/2015 #

I will be sending on @orangekittens from Round 44.

flowerchild 08/10/2015 #

Ajijic 08/11/2015 #

Please send my postcard home. I no longer participate in International swaps. Sorry.

Ajijic 08/11/2015 #

Probably should have left my name as well, not just the user name. Anyway, it's Barbara Cummings in Reno,NV. Thank you.

palmettogirl727 08/11/2015 #

If anyone sees my PC, please send it home. It's a map of Hilton Head Island, SC. Thanks, Julie Turner (palmettogirl727)

Beverly1962 08/14/2015 #

If we want to send to 3 partners, how do we not send them to same person along the way. Just curious. I'm joining...think this will be fun if NO flakers. TIA

mcovey 08/16/2015 #

I have ingleside from Argentina

Deeno1105 08/17/2015 #

Is anyone going to take over this swap since @lostinavalon will no longer be our coordinator?

I hope someone is able to keep this swap going. It has been really fun.

If nobody posts here to volunteer, I suggest we return the cards we get this round back home.

What does everyone else think? I'd really enjoy having all my cards back full or not.

ElaCaiu 08/17/2015 #

If this series is done, I'd like to have all my cards back, as well.

I'll also be sending all three of the cards belonging to @Rimbar to my partner this round, just in case the series isn't continued.

Bluegirl 08/18/2015 #

Can someone send me any cards that are going around with BLUEGIRL/Barcelona-Spain on them? I don't think anyone will be taking over this swap. Should I send the card to the original owner or to my swap partner? Please advise.

mdkrouwel 08/18/2015 #

I offered to take over this swap.

widelo123 08/18/2015 #

Thank you @mdkrouwel I know it means a lot to us that have faithfully sent our cards out each month. I really enjoy this swap.

Deeno1105 08/18/2015 #

@mdkrouwel ,,,,,,,that's great!

I'm so happy someone took it under their wing.

LisaLisa3 08/18/2015 #

Thank you @mdkrouwel for taking over this series!! I really am enjoying it. : )

Vickyen 08/18/2015 #

Barb Reeves of Elgin, IL - your card is on its way home - I think it has 13 signatures on it and has been to tons of fun places - yippee! ;)

mdkrouwel 08/19/2015 #

Okay, here is round 46, will start a bit later but wanted to make sure you could all find it:

Bluegirl 08/19/2015 #

THANK YOU mdkrouwel! If this swap will continue DO NOT send me back my cards. I'd like to continue being part of it. Cheers!

Soph 08/19/2015 #

@mdkrouwel Thank you so much for hosting this swap so that it can be continued. It's really great!

pobuffy 08/19/2015 #

I have Bassie-Cripps from Canada to send on.

Deeno1105 08/28/2015 #
