Hi, everyone! I love the "pass and paste" type postcards, don't you? So, here is what we are going to do for this swap: Take a 4 inch by 6 inch piece of heavy cardstock (think cereal box weight). Mark it off into 2 inch squares. You should end up with 6 squares. Zentangle one of the squares. Put your initials or moniker in the bottom of the square. Now, turn the card over and address it to yourself. Leave room on this side for others to sign in. (Come on, we've all seen postcards. You know what to do. Make this side look like a postcard). Remember to leave room for the stamp. Put that bad boy in an envelope and mail it off to your partner. That's it. You're done. Be sure to sign up for all 6 rounds. Every time you get a postcard, just 'tangle one square, and stick it in an envelope and mail it off. When you are the last one to finish a card, drop it in the mail naked and send it back to it's owner. The only complicated part about this is.. if you receive a card that you have already done a square, or if you get yours back again (it happens), you can either sit out the round or start a new postcard. Your choice. Just remember to keep them in rotation. If you start a new one, you will have to put the old one back in rotation with the next round. (So, conceivably, you may get 2 cards in one envelope). OK, got it? Let's play!

Now, for the dull part. Ratings must be high enough to be in this group (I do check, by the way). No flakers, of course. You must commit to all 6 rounds or at least promise not to keep someone else's card. Let's not ruin it for someone else, okay? I will angel, once the appropriate rating has been given. Etc. Etc. Etc.

Yes, this is International. If you can't afford to send a postcard overseas, then don't sign up.

So, just to recap. 4 by 6 inch cardstock, marked off into 6 two inch squares. Tangle one square. One card to one partner. Sign up for all 6 rounds.

This is Round 6 When you receive the postcard for Round 6, hopefully it'll be finished and you can send it home. In an ideal world, it would all work out and ... well, yeah. We don't live in an ideal world. So, if the postcard you get has more than one square left on it, go ahead and tangle your square, then hang on to it. I'll be starting a new round next month.

@PrairieKitten ..after #5, I sent it back to its owner all completed. So should I stay out of this round and join up when you start a new one next month? Otherwise I'd be starting a new one now...cheers.

@JenniferB ... I started a new round. Sign up deadline is August 1st. So, yeah, go ahead and wait for that one to sign up. Round 6 was just in case someone joined the series late, and someone still had a card that wasn't finished.
