National Postcard Week / Homemade Postcard Swap!

Ah, the lovely postcard! This week is National Postcard Week (not to be confused with International Postcard Week which is in October), and in honor of this tiny but mighty form of communication, we are making and swapping homemade postcards!

How do you make a homemade postcard? Make it out of anything that is sturdy enough to make it through the mail - cardboard, a cereal box, an index card, etc. (Make sure you put enough postage on it if it is odd or large shaped.) You can also use an already existing postcard that is u-g-l-y and you deem unworthy to send as is to create your own homemade postcard. Now decorate to your heart's content! Color, draw, paint, collage, write, type, washi, sticker the heck outta that baby! Be creative, have fun, and in return you will be rewarded with mail!

So how does this swap work? You RSVP, send me your address, and then on the date of this meetup I will send you the name and address of the person you will be sending your DIY masterpiece postcard to! That's it! You will then send your custom one-of-a-kind postcard out by May 31, 2023.

Please note: This is not an actual meetup. This is a mail swap only. All swaps open for RSVPs around the 1st of each month.
