Ready for round 3?

I love doing post card swaps! Though, I also love making my own as well! Since almost all are store bought only, here's a chance to send your partner a home made one. Can be drawn, colored, a photo you took, etc.

From USPS.com:

Postcards - $0.29 Size limits:

* Minimum: 3-1/2 inches high by 5 inches long by 0.007 inch thick
* Maximum: 6 inches long by 4-1/4 inches high
* Additional postage required for larger postcards

PC's are random, but please have it based off of something from your partners profile :) Meaning you send them a postcard of something random from their profile. Please send naked! (Written and stamped, no envelope unless your partner states otherwise) I tend to laminate my home made ones just for protection (usually just the front), but you don't HAVE to.

No add PC's please. This swap is to possibly make friends, not money :)

Thoughts and suggestions welcome!

Newbies welcome with well filled in profiles. No recent 1's or 3's.

Just a reminder that postcard rate goes up from 28 cents to 29 cents on April 17, 2011.

Oh thank you! I did not now that. I will update that now.

Postcards I made out of desk calendars can be taken as home made postcards ??

salex 04/10/2011 #

Yes :)

International postage on postcards is considerably higher ... 80¢ for Canada and Mexico and 98¢ for all other countries. If you put just 29¢ on the postcard and send it international, it probably won't get there.

salex 04/13/2011 #

Yes. I usually put 2 normal stamps and a PC stamp on my international PCs.

PostMuse 04/13/2011 #

Two 44 cent and one 10 cent equals international for most places. Or there are 98 cent stamps, too. And USPS.com is GREAT for buying postage. Only $1 shipping no matter how much you order :-)
