WIYM: Many Thanks! Card Swap #2 (USA)

'Tis the season to give thanks (always!)

The last time I hosted this swap, some people asked me to create a regional (USA) version. Here it is!

This swap is for those of us who enjoy giving and receiving thank-you cards. A notecard is just the right size to write a personal heartfelt note without the pressure of composing a full letter. Whether they're pretty, elegant, fun, quirky, stylish, or something else, a nice quality "Thank You" card carries the thoughtfulness and investment you put in to show that you care.

If you're like me, you might have a few select boxes of cards that you especially like, but prefer to not send the same card to someone more than once. Let's expand the variety of our collections to reflect the many kinds of people and relationships in our lives, and share the love and gratitude!

For this swap, you will send 4 different Thank-You cards to each of your two partners.

Feel free to add extras if you desire (this is certainly not required), but there should be at least 4 different designs for each partner. You may send the same assortment of 4 to each partner if you wish. This way, each of us will receive eight different designs (unless, of course, our partners happen to both send a copy of the same card). Unless you've added them as extras, please don't send the free/flimsy cards like those given out by charitable organizations.

Be sure to carefully protect your cards so that they arrive safely in excellent condition. Also, if you use dark colored envelopes, wrap them in a plain white piece of paper so they don't get stained: I've received mail more than once that's been stained red or purple or blue by the envelope.

All participants must have a 4.98 rating or higher to participate. In the unlikely event that it's necessary, I will angel this swap after you have attempted to contact your partner and honestly rated a "1" for a no-send.

Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns, and most of all, have fun!
