Welcome to the fun "BIZARRE, CRAZY, SILLY, UNKNOWN HOLIDAYS!" SWAP.

U.S., international and newbies are welcome.

I will check for past no sent out swaps and I have the right to ban anyone who appears fishy. You must have a profile filled in with likes, dislikes etc.

Send ONE postcard to One partner. Store bought or handmade.
Send it naked or no envelope.

The theme is to pick any one unknown holiday that is bizarre, crazy etc. for the month of April. It can be either national, month or day holiday . The list is on this website. http://www.brownielocks.com/april.html

Some of the holidays have links and some don't. You're welcome to google the ones that don't have links if you want to. Please feel free to share any links, ideas etc., on the subject and add them in the comments section.

Any dislikes please do mention them and add them in the comment section. If you don't have any then just mention you don't. We don't want to send something that she or he might not like, for example, for National Chocolate-covered Cashews Day postcard and your partner doesn't like cashews or chocolate. Or she or he might be allergic.

Please write on the postcard which unknown holiday you picked and write a little about it.

Please Only pick fun, and not so serious unknown holiday . Such as: National STD day (Sexually transmitted diseases), or Victims of Violence day etc.

Be creative if you're making a postcard or if it's store bought. Use any sort of medium. Mediums such as:

pastels, newspaper clippings, colored paper, magazine clippings, water colors, photographs, graphics, colored pens, etc. If your using just paper of any sort cover it up with modge podge glue or any sort of glue for collage.

Please write legible so your partner can read it. I have received past postcards and they are sometimes difficult to read the writing.

You don't have to be an artist to be creative so if you receive a handmade postcard and you don't care for or don't like it please don't give your partner a low rating.

This swap is to have fun. LET'S GET SWAPPING AND HAVE SOME FUN!

Nothing religious, I do have an interest in Buddhism, such as Buddha. Don't care for sports, spiders, bugs, clowns, gore, some jazz, and politics.

I'm good with any fun days except Easter or anything religious or to do with spiritism (I didn't see any like that), poop, exercise, golf or diseases. That still leaves TONS of days!

I'd love to get a handmade postcard if possible and I think pet first aid would be a fun theme. I may do that one myself as I have a perfect digital stamp image!

I agree THEBRAGAL I don't want a card having to do with poop, diseases, golf and exercise either.

not to be too sardonic, but buddhism is a religion
