Date items must be sent by:March 20, 2008
Number of swap partners:16
Description:

First off let me get this out there. You will have sixteen partners. Yes, sixteen. Yes, six-teen. Yes, 16. Hence the name of the swap. Ok. Now that we have that established, we can move on.

Who- Open to everyone, regardless of feedback rating. International players welcome. US swappers please keep this in mind when joining that you may have to mail a card to Kenya or Iceland or Tunisia or some other exotic locale. If this is a problem, then don't sign up. Just sayin'.

What- You are sending each swap partner a postcard of your own choosing. The postcards can be handmade or store bought. Each postcard should be written on, stamped and mailed. If you like your postcards sent in envelopes, unstamped and not written on, sorry, but this is probably not the best swap for you. Please no pornographic or otherwise offensive cards.

When- Sign up by March 11th

  Mail your cards by March 20th

Where-Sign up here at swap-bot, from the convenience of your own home. Then mail your post cards at your own little mailbox.

Why- Because I like you. And because I like getting mail, sixteen's my favorite number and postcards are cool & cheap to buy & mail, even internationally.

I LOVE this. Postcards are so much fun to send and receive. Check out this site too. www.postcrossing.com It's a site to send and receive cards from all over the world. I just bought and album with clear plastic pages to display all the neat cards I've received. I have had lots of fun with it! Thank you for letting me join this swap.

goodgollymissmolly 03/ 2/2008 #

Brandi- You are welcome. Thanks for sharing the postcrossing site. I have been a member for several years now and made many good friends and gained many great cards. I love it!! Your set up to show off your collection sounds great. Glad you are joining us! :-)

got my 16 cards right here! don't know why anyone would want them mailed in an envy, they are so missing out on cool stamps and notes from the sender!

goodgollymissmolly 03/ 3/2008 #

Susan- I wholeheartedly agree! You are a woman after my own heart when it comes to loving getting those groovy stamps & endearing notes! :-)

I bought my postage stamps today! I'm ready to go! :)

goodgollymissmolly 03/12/2008 #

Partners have been assigned. Start your mailing!! :-)

Brandi 03/16/2008 #

I just finished writing out all my postcards! Wow! That was cool! I can't wait until they start arriving in the mailbox. I have a postcard album that purchased on Ebay. It just a 3 ring like album with plastic pages that you can put the cards in. It's a great way to organize the cards and look at them again. I'm on www.postcrossing.com too and I love it. Thank you in advance for your card! Think Spring!

All my postcards to you my friends were mailed out on the due date. PLEASE let me know if you do not get them after plenty of time has passed, I had alot of international addresses to send to and I mailed them all from the post office in the next city because it was still open. (mine has weird hours) I am glad to resend things, never had to yet, but will if necessary.

silexelis 04/ 1/2008 #

i sent everything out on time but have not received all of my comments or the postcards that were to be sent to me. is it typical to wait another week? :)

tobiejonzarelli 04/ 4/2008 #

Boy this one was really bad for me, out of sixteen partners, four never even sent anything. Why do people do this?

goodgollymissmolly 04/ 5/2008 #

I wish I knew why people don't send, but don't give up complete hope. I just got a sweet sixteen card today from BrandiMR so if she is one of your partners, perhaps you'll get one soon too...and perhaps others will live up to their obligation and do what's right. I am the swap host and I got shafted on 4 cards as well. I do know that those people who remain as no sends won't be "playing along" next time in any swaps I host. If anyone would like another card, I'll be happy to angel you one. Just comment here or message me directly for faster response.

goodgollymissmolly 04/ 5/2008 #

Just a note to all- If you have the following swapper as a partner: MartiKnitsSF I noticed that she is currently partially suspended. I have sent her a message that hopefully she will receive and respond to, should she return to the swap-bot community, asking her to fulfill her obligation to this swap asap.

goodgollymissmolly 04/ 5/2008 #

Ok. The other still "no sent" swapper is --- ohhhkay. She contacted me after the swap started saying she would be late due to her health issues. I was under the impression that meant she would still be sending cards, just late. Well, she's still "not sent" and her profile states the following: "currently taking a break from swapping while i focus on getting my health back to normal." So, I do hope that she is well on her way back to good health and that when she arrives in a good way, that she will send her cards.

Hi! I've received a pretty postcard of Ohio (The Buckeye State) and with a written recipe of Ohio's famous/favourite dessert. But I don't know from who? I would like to know the person so that I can give her a rating. Thank you so much!!

Susan 04/14/2008 #

CAFFELATTE, I think I sent you the recipe for Buckeyes! the back was kinda crowded maybe my name got lost in the message LOL SUSAN

Susan 04/14/2008 #

got my sacramento PC from OHHHKAY today! :)

Susan 04/14/2008 #

generally I hi-lite my swap name as well as what swap it was sent for but if i recall that card traveled quite a distance it may have gotten wet or smeared somehow along the way.

silexelis 04/15/2008 #
