You will be sending 1 postcard to 5 people. Good quality copies are fine! If you do send originals, it would probably be a good idea to send in a plastic sleeve because they probably won't make it through the post otherwise. Mail your postcards as is.....not in envelopes. Newbies and international welcome - for those with ratings you must have 4.7 or higher and not have any no sends in the last 3 months.

Are digitally made inchies OK (take a pice of photo, add some word and print it out)?

And if so, would a digitally made inchie postcard be OK? (Take 24 digital inchies, put them together and print out.)

yup, sounds ok :)

Art is in the eye of the beholder right?

Just so my partners know. . .I forgot (I blame it on menopause) to add the words! DUH!!! So I am making new postcards WITH the words; really don't want to mess up my rating so each of my partners will get 2! As my grand daughter says, "my bad!".

I also forgot to put words on some of my inchie cards. If any of my partners are not satisfied with what they received, please let me know and I will resend.

Hmmm...not all my inchies include words either...If you are unsatisfied let me know too!

For me, there's a difference between "not all inchies include words" and "none of inchies includes a word"...

Just found out that one of my partners is planning to rate a "3" because not all of my inchies included words :(

Glad I followed up about the non-rating as she did not contact me.

Well, in the instructions for the swap it did say to put an image and word in each square........I must admit that while most of my own squares had both, I think I did have a few non worded squares on my own postcard.

In regards to a rating, if the postcard has very few squares with words then maybe contact the player and see if they want to redo their postcard. It's my own opinion that life is too short to nitpit on some things and giving a low rating because of a few unworded squares doesn't make sense.

Sorry friends...False alarm :) When I brought our discussion to the attention of the receiver, she graciously rated me a 5 and left a very nice note on my profile.

redleppard 02/15/2008 #

The player "etcetera" is not playing nicely........I sent an email to her when I saw that she hadn't sent out her swaps by the due date.....but no response back. Now it was brought to my attention that she has what looks like a false address. Please rate accordingly......
