Description:
I have seen a lot of international Christmas card swaps (including a handmade one I think) with a send date in December. I don't know about your mail system, but I know in Canada they say that you have to mail international mail in November to even have a hope of making it there by Christmas! So I thought I would host a swap with a closer send date, it's a quick and easy swap. Make (not computer print out or bought) 10 Christmas cards, write a little hello and a Merry Christmas - put them in envelopes, address them and send them off! If you'd like you could add some handmade gift tags or some a little extra. (NOT a requirement though) All handmade items could easily be done in advance. Everything is SENDER's choice. Newbies welcome (filled out profiles) and NO flakers please! We want everybody to have a happy holiday season!! If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to PM me. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Here are links for my other card swaps: Pet Christmas Card swap Different Christmas Card swap

I'm going to send mine blank ... with a note on separate paper ... so the cards can be used again. I love hand-made cards!

Thank you so much for this swap. I have a very small family and would love to send and receive Christmas cards but I have a very short list. I'm really going to enjoy this swap. Thanks again.

Am I correct in thinking that this swap is simply to send a handmade Christmas card to our nominated swap partners? Sorry but I'm new here and want to make sure I'm getting it right :)

Yes, instead of sending out store bought cards, you make some and send them out.

I have over 200 used Christmas cards that can be used for this purpose. I'll trade a 5x7 envie full for a decorative thimble, souvenir spoon, souvenir magnet, souvenir thimble or 20 new, 4x6, modern postcards. I'll also trade for earrings - one new pair or 2 good quality used as long as they are not orange, purple, gray or green.

I'm not sure that's the intent, but that's what I intend to do ... and that's what I would prefer to receive as well.

Zanara 10/28/2009 #

Well my intent was to have people write on the cards but Mom whined ;) (she'd prefer to get them not signed, whereas I wanted them signed) so it's not manditory, you can do it anyway you'd like, senders choice. BUT if you're not writing on the card please include a note, thanks.

Are religious themed cards ok or is that taboo?
