Description:

I would love to have pen pals but there is always that introduction letter that I can never seem to get through. Who, what, when, why, where and how long? I am defeated before I get started. If I was told I could win PCH for life with a 10 page letter single spaced two sided I couldn't do it. So here is my idea "Post Card Pen Pals". A shorter version of the letter. For this swap you will have 1 partner to send 1 post card to. After reading your partners profile just mention one thing you might have in common (reading, cooking, paper crafts, sports, grandchildren etc.) you get the idea. If there is nothing or you don't care to follow up, just mention something so they know you took the time to read their profile. If you "click" when something funny or interesting happens you think might put a smile on their face or just make their day with happy mail write a couple lines on a post card, slap a stamp on it off it goes you have a post card pen pal. I am hoping to make a few new friends and have fun in the process. I am making this USA for now but international is possible with interest. It could also be monthly to add new friends if interest is there. I am hoping it will not be needed but I will angel to make sure everyone gets mail. If you receive a post card on time with a mention of something from your profile this swap will be met. The card is senders choice, however if the card matches your profile extra care has been taken and consider that in rating. Everyone in USA is welcome but you must have a well filed out profile. I do reserve the right to drop anyone with questionable ratings. Remember your swap bot name and name of swap on your card. Handmade cards are fine but no ad cards unless your partner likes them.

Thanks and have Fun

******* Make sure you put your return address on your card if you want to hear back from your partner *********

can the postcard be handmade or does it have to be store brought

Hand made cards are fine, just like if you were writing a letter to a pen pal on homemade stationary. My goal is to eventually have many people I can share an experience with like a cute joke or a quote I liked or watching birds leaving a nest without having to sit and write a letter. Post card stamps are the least expensive and easiest to mail making this simple to continue with many friends.

I have had some interest in an international swap so I am setting up one to run along with this one with sign up dates just a week apart so anyone interested may sign up for both. Thank you everyone.
