Description:

The origin of a country's flag can reveal a lot about that country's history! Send something of your country's flag (a postcard, magnet, pin, patch, ATC, mini fabric flag, etc) and include some explanation as to how the design came to be. Do not just send a printout or cutout of your flag, it does not have to be purchased but make it something souvenir-worthy, something you would like to receive!

Be sure to mail your flag securely! At least use a thick envelope if your flag isn't just made out of paper... your mail is travelling across the globe and it has to endure a lot! ;) Remember to allow 2-3 weeks for international mail.

To USA Swappers - if your partner is also from the USA, you have the option of sending our red, white & blue OR sending your state flag! I know this is specifically for worldwide swaps but for now I would like to leave it open to everyone.

Newbies welcome with a detailed profile (at my discretion). NO unresolved 1s or 3s in the last 6 months. I will be checking... ;)

Have fun!!

Great swap. I love flags of the world! ;) I wouldn't even mind if there were 2 or 3 partners instead of only one as I suppose there will be no flag theme (particularly) in the future swaps anymore, correct? BTW, shouldn't only one person from each country be allowed to participate in this one?

I'm really torn about limiting it to one country... I know there are a lot of USA swappers but I think I'll amend it to say that we USA citizens send each other our state flags (or symbols, etc).

As far as multiple partners, I personally don't have the time to do quality swaps to multiple partners, so that's the simple, honest reason for that. =) I would love to see this series for the rest of the 'bot, not just limited to this group & if you would like to host one with multiple partners & limit the countries you are welcome to it!!
