Description:
I'm just going through my holiday cards from last year and some are so cool! I figured I should host this swap again (did it last year too). Quick turn around since the holidays are coming soon! The main idea is that you use cards you received last year and "upcycle" them - or recycle - by cutting off the card face to create a postcard. Sender's choice, since these are being re-used. Write a short thought about the holidays on the postcards: plans you have this year, a tradition you love, a favorite memory...something nice and festive to bring your partner some holiday cheer! You will have 2 partners, send 1 postcard to each. Easy peasy! Send the postcards naked (meaning not in an envelope). Newby friendly as long as you have a filled out profile and at least a few (no less than 3) flat mail swaps completed. No flakers, please, this is in the spirit of giving! Happy Holidays and have fun!

This is an awesome idea. I would love to see upcycled pcs more often.

Thank you, ladylouie! Maybe you can take the idea and host a future swap with another theme - I know I'd join!
