European Newbie Welcome Postcard Swap

Welcome, European newbies! There are enough "newbie welcome" swaps that are USA-only, so I thought I'd create one for Europe-only, in the hopes that the cards (and subsequent ratings) will arrive faster than in "international" swaps spanning the whole world. :)

This is a very simple postcard swap:

• You'll have three (3) partners, and you will send one (1) postcard to each of them - so, you'll have to send three postcards in total.

• Postcards are sender's choice. Anything goes: store-bought, self-printed, handmade, ... - as long as it can be sent as a postcard, it's good for this swap. Still: please look at your partners' profiles anyway, and - at the very least - avoid their dislikes! Even better if you find something you can send that will make them really happy.

• Postcards can be sent "naked" (without an envelope) or in an envelope. That's sender's choice as well.

• Remember to rate your partners immediately when you receive a card from this swap. (For newbies: you do that by clicking on the swap. Once partners are assigned, the yellow box on the upper right has an entry "Rate your partner and coordinator". You click on that, and you'll be able to rate.) If you don't receive a card that should be there already, please contact me before rating a 1 or 3: in many cases, mail is being slow, and as coordinator, I'll try to resolve any issues that may arise. (I will angel if necessary.)

(- Hint for newbies: It's customary to leave a heart if you receive something you liked. This is in no way mandatory; just a nice gesture if you get the impression your partner read your profile and tried to send a card you'd like.)

To sign up, you don't need any previous ratings. If you're new here, you don't have them; that's normal. You do need, however, a filled-in profile with at least, say, 15-20 lines of text, containing some information about themes you're interested in. It's difficult to gauge what to send, otherwise.

Experienced swappers, of course, are also welcome. Please note, however, that this is not a "rating booster": I will remove anyone with unexplained bad ratings, and will also drop known questionable swappers as well as those that raise my internal warning flags. Newbies deserve safe swaps, too!
