Description:

To make this the best swap ever in the universe we need a few rules.

This is a recipe a day postcard swap. BTW THESE CAN BE STORE BOUGHT OR YOU CAN MAKE THEM. Please do quality work if you are making them.

This is NOT buy/make 15 postcards and mail out all 15 postcards all at once.

This is buy/make 15 postcards and write on one each day and mail one each day.

I know the mail doesnt run daily, That should not stop you from writing a postcard each day. Mail the next day or when you can. This isnt about postmarks but about you writing each day.

BUY OR MAKE, 15 postcards, they can and should be all the same. There is reason. There will be a part two April 16-30, you will need a DIFFERENT second set of 15 postcards that are DIFFERENT from the cards you send out In part one. April 1st -15th. No one wants the same PC in part two. It is easy to forget who you sent which pc to in the past so it is just easier to make all 15 the same, and another 15 for part two of the month.

So grab your 15 PC and date them April 1 st to the 15th. Write the swap name on it. Write your name and swap-bot nickname at the bottom. Put a 33 cent stamp on the card. You need a 46 cent stamp if the card is larger than 4x6. Now all you have to do is write a short message about your day, once a day.

Lets be clear about something, If you do not write about your day, then you did not meet the requirement of this swap. It is about you writing.

When you get your list of partners send April 1st to partner one on the list, and April 2nd to partner two, and so one. You can feel free to print out all the addresses on your computer, but your message does need to be hand written.

I hope we can get 16 who want to collect recipe cards.

You can Pm the person you are sending to or leave a message in their comments on their profile but this is not required. Please rate promptly so swappers know that their cards have arrived.

No newbies, sorry this is too big of a commitment, If you have had a 1 or 3, in the last 4 months, this may not be the best swap for you. Contact me about those unfair rating though. I will listen.

I hope you know this is more about collecting fun postcard, than ever making these recipes. I just like the cards. I will probably not ever make any of the dessert recipe cards, but they are fun to collect.

I am confused, where do I get recipe postcards? I have yet to find any. Shazza1532

You can buy them at touristy places like over priced kitchen supply stores, I found some at FRYs which is the Kroger chain in my part of the country, I also found them at a Hallmark store in the mall for 6 for $1. (all her PCs were 6 for $1)

You can make them yourself if you make nice ones.

Thanks for the invite, I will have to see if I can find some recipe post cards before I join... I'll have to look around this week.

I am watching for now. I really like the idea, but don't know if I will be able to get recipe pc's

AZmom875 03/10/2013 #

So at this point we have 17 players if all join, just in case you are wondering.

AZmom875 03/10/2013 #

You can hand make the recipe postcards, as long as you make them sturdy cause the Postal machines can be rough on all postcards. I am not making mine, but would love some creative handmade postcard from others.

AZmom875 03/12/2013 #

I got my postcards at the mail today, 6 for $1. So I am ready for part one and will make a swap for part two today. You can play in one or both, but make sure your postcards for part two are different cause it will be the same people most likely.

This should be fun I will be in Mexico during part of this....so will mail stateside

I am so sorry that I hit Assign vs cancel this swap. Please just send a card to the partners on your list we didnt get the 16 players we need despite that 14 were watching the swap.

You only have 9 people to send to so April 1st to the 9th or Heck any days you want to send from April 1st to the 15th as long as you mail to all 9 partners. There will not be a round two of this swap.

I will host other recipe swaps to help you use up your extra recipe cards.
