Make 3 postcards with the theme of "gratitude".
Send them to me with 3 first class stamps and 3 mailing labels addressed to you.

They must be FLAT. NO 3-D embellishments. They will be returned to you if they are 3-D.

On the back, leave 3/4" along the bottom blank and 2 3/4" on the right for the mailing address. Add a message, a stamped quote or simply "wish you were here!". Whatever!
SIGN your artwork.

Sign up by 11/7.

Mail your cards to me by 11/14.

Yes, short notice but it's only three postcards!

What am I forgetting?

Sign me up! Good swap idea!

I must be crazy but OK! I should be able to manage 3 postcards.

Where's that 2x4.

I will join in on the fun too!

Me too!!

I have never done a postcard swap before. I am confused by this:

Leave 3/4" along the bottom blank and 2 3/4" on the right for the mailing address.
SIGN your artwork.

Sorry to be such a dunce but wouldn't the front be where I put my image? And the back could be blank for address. Duh

The front is for your signed artwork.
The back is for a brief message and mailing address. The post office sets the guidelines for where the mailing address goes and the space at the bottom .
I can post a photo of that doesn't help.

I should have said to put your 3 postcards, 3 first class stamps, and three labels with your address in an envelope and mail to me. I will swap the cards and use your stamps & mailing labels to send you 3 cards.

Thank you. So decorate the front only. And write on the back just like a vacation postcard. I think I can do this.

Yes - exactly. If you could see my hands while reading my instructions, it would have made perfect sense!

Okay...I'll join... in that continuing effort to improve myself creatively...lol

jog my memory, how big is a postcard?

4 x 6 inches

The machine will accept paper as thick as watercolor paper - not much more than that.

This is a great project for painting & stamping. I did one with a bit of texture paste and it went through just fine. Remember - no lace, ribbon, buttons, chipboard, shells...

Ok, I'll take the plunge and sign up, even though my mojo flew the coop, maybe this will give me incentive to just DO IT! As Farley said, "It's just 3 postcards" right?
