Description:

Living in a digital age where photos are instant and can be sent to our family and friends via e-mail, CD, or uploaded to the internet, I sometimes forget that there was a time that photos were developed and stored in photo albums. I know for a fact my parents have a stock pile of photos from my childhood, some very embarrassing (me running diaper-less on the beach), some very amusing (me wearing mom's clothes for 'dress-up' complete with clownish makeup) and some memorable (a trip to Disney World).

For this swap, let's share a favorite childhood moment captured on film and turn it into a postcard.

You will send "1" postcard to "1" partner.

Use a color copy/print/or scan of a photo and send it as a postcard. Please do not send the original or your only print. (We don't want to deprive you of it!)

On the back of the postcard, tell your swap partner a little background about the photo. Please tell us who's in it (names can be omitted), and where and when the moment took place.

To qualify for mailing at the First-Class Mail postcard price, a postcard must be:

â–ªRectangular

â–ªAt least 3-1/2 inches high x 5 inches long x 0.007 inch thick

â–ªNo more than 4-1/4 inches high x 6 inches long x 0.016 inches thick

Because childhood experiences can vary across the globe, let's make this an international swap!

Please have a score of 4.5 or higher. Newbies are welcome with a filled profile. I reserve the right to ban.

Thank you and happy swapping!

(P.S. We won't tell my 26 year old brother that I used a photo of him. Shhhhhhh!)

are we to mail the photo as a pc or can we put it in an envelope and mail so it doesn't get destroyed?

Good question kimpe! I was just thinking of that when I woke up this morning, especially all the snow outside.

Mailing it in an envelope is just fine! Just know that it will require a standard $.44 stamp rather than $.28 (if you're USA.)

In the past, I've gone to places like Walmart (although Walmart isn't the only place that has them) and used the photo kiosk to print off the photo. I think they use some kind of waterproofing, because I was able to mail off the 'postcard' without a problem. I paid $.28 to print the photo at 4"x6" (an acceptable size according to the USPS) and glued it to card stock cut to size. I believe the current rate for postcard postage is $.28.

I'm not saying you HAVE to send it as a postcard, lol. Just trying to explain a little more about it. As long as you send the photo of about the size of a standard postcard and include the short description, I'd say you earned yourself a 5!

Great pics

It looks nice and sweet. Videos and stock images also come in handy for me I read an article that became confirmation for me that I was doing everything right. https://depositphotos.com In fact, this allows me to highlight its distinctiveness and individuality, which is my primary objective.
