Let's celebrate Imbolc ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imbolc ) with hand made postcards! Your postcard should be 4x6 inches, cut from a cereal box is fine. You can collage it from magazines and catalogs (Pyramid Collection catalog is one of my favorites to cut up), or you can draw, or even use stamps or stickers. Any medium as long as its still a postcard, and it's related to Imbolc! Since Imbolc will be here very soon, this is a one partner swap.

Optional: If you are feeling very creative, your postcard can also include an original poem about Imbolc!

Newbies are welcome, but you must have a well filled out profile! Thanks and Blessed Imbolc! QH

I come from Italy, may I partecipate at this swap? I am a wiccan. Blessed be. )O(

Sure, why not... I'll change it to international since it is the only Imbolc swap, and it's just a post card! QH

Partners have been assigned now, and you have a week to get this out, so don't delay!! Blessed Imbolc to you all!! QS

Um, are we sending these naked or in envelopes? I'd prefer to send mine in an envelope but I can do naked.... marker+water = not so hot goods to be getting.

Ok, so this is my first swap & I am wondering if the 27th is the date it must be in the mail by or the date by which my art should reach the other person? I assume its the post mark date but I don't want to disappoint. Thanks!

postmansdaughter 01/22/2010 #

never mind. I see now where it says"sent by" sorry.

quainthomesteader 01/24/2010 #

I was planning on sealing my card with some clear acrylic sealer and mailing it naked....but if you rather put your in an envelope, go right ahead.

And yes, 27th is send by date :)

OR, you can seal it with clear packing tape...that's the quick -no dry method.....

Happy Swapping!

Just checking over all the participants, everyone has sent their cards! Thanks! I would love to see how they have turned out, so if anyone wants to post a link to a photo of their card, I'd really appreciate it! QH

BTW, I'll set up an Ostar Card swap ASAP!

I haven't scanned the post card I received yet but here is the one I created. (Hope the link works). I'll try to send an image of the one I got soon. -Susan

BTW, my understanding of the stars system is that if 75% of the swap participants mark for you to get a star you will.
