**It's Spring Time** - Handcraft Postcard Swap

It's Springtime (and that means pollen to those of us in the Southern USA), so to take my mind off my allergies I thought a Spring-Time (NOT EASTER) handcrafted Postcard Swap would do just the trick.

Webster's Dictionary Definition of a Naked Postcard = (noun) a (flat thicker, double sided piece of card stock) on which a message may be written for mailing without an envelope and to which the sender must affix a stamp.

To join this swap you MUST meet the following requirements:

• Have minimum 4.95 rating. Based on Type 2 or 3 type swaps...(if you have only email swaps, you will be banned).
• No 1s at all
• Have not been called out as a questionable swapper

I am going to allow newbies with no ratings to join this swap, provided you have a well filled out profile:

• Likes/Dislikes
• A little about yourself
• What you can offer others.

Swap Requirements:

• 1 Handcrafted (NOT STORE BOUGHT THEN ALTERED) Post card - 1 partner.

• Use Sturdy cardstock as a backing.

• Do quality work (not glue globs, no flimsy papers, no sloppy cutting, no poor stamping).

• Make sure you use a great adhesive. AND as a general rule if you are using a lot of embellishments you should take the PC to the PO for hand cancelling as the machine might destroy your beautiful work.

• Make sure to use adequate postage (Handcrafted PCs general cost a little more to mail the regular PCs).

• Stickers are allowed, but don't just slap on a sticker and call it done. (I can put flour, sugar, milk and eggs in a bowl, but that doesn't make it a cake).

• Write a short sweet hello message to your partner on the PC.

• No religious/Easter Postcards. UNLESS you have specifically ok'd this with your partner through a PM. If you send Easter/Religious postcards (without okaying it prior) your partner has the right to rate you a 3 for not following swap rules.

Flakers are the 2nd lowest form of questionable swapper on SB (IMO)...the first is a Non-Rater/Poor Rater. If you decide to become either in this swap you will be reported in FOPS (Flakers and Other Questionable Swappers), you will be outted in the PFs.

Please PM me if you see a questionable swapper. I will weed out along the way and directly prior to assigning partners. If even after all my precautions a loser flakes on you I will angel after you rate the swapper a 1. If you fail to rate your flaking partner a 1, then I will not angel.

Please rate according to Swapbot rules (hearts should be given at the SOLE discretion of the receiver).

Please Note if you can't commit to sending on time, please do not join this swap, I will NOT change dates to accommodate anyone's tardiness

Please PM me with any comments, concerns or questions you may have regarding this swap.
