National Postcard Week 2013 - Postcard Swap (Exchange)

It's that time of year again!  The nationally recognized week that every postcard collector and enthusiast anxiously waits for; National Postcard Week aka NCPW.  May 5th - 11th is a nationally (and some internationally) celebrated week filled with blog posts, team activities, clubs and best of all many great postcard swaps (exchanges!)

 

Starting today I will be gathering a list of names and addresses from those who would like to participate in the Pacific Postcards Team Card Swap.  While I would love to have you become a member, it is not necessary to participate in the NCPW postcard swap.  Instructions on how to join in this fun even will follow shortly.  But first, Why is this so exciting for postcard lovers?  Well let me tell you ;)



from 2012

When you participate in a swap you potential will receive cards from all over the US and even other countries as well.  All it costs for you to participate is the actual cost of the cards and postage (one for each participant.)  Mine did add up a little last year but I received over 50 postcards in return!  Check out the posts that show some of the great cards I received:

Instructions/Guidelines

1)  Very important!  Email me at ButterflyInTheAttic at yahoo dot com.  In the subject put either Postcard Swap or Postcard Exchange.  Include your name, Mailing address and let me know if you would like to be added to my email list to receive any future emails about the PPT team, promotions, and the Monthly News Letter that I am developing.


2)  Design or purchase already made cards, you can even use vintage cards that you would like to exchange if you want.  Personally I like the handmade cards but any will be great.  I also suggest that if you are purchasing already made cards get some that show something about where you live or have meaning to you


3)  Write on the back or have printed on the cards NPCW 2013 (you can see how others have done it in the past if you check out the ones I received last year)  Write on it your name and if  you designed it give a little description so we know what it is about.  Sign and numbering them is always nice.  Who knows maybe yours will end up in some collector magazine 50 years from now:)

4)  By Friday, April 26th the list will close and I will email the completed list by April 29th to all of the participants (NOTE:  I will only use this list for the specific exchange and will not be distributing it anywhere else)


5)  Now it is up to everyone that signed up:  within 1 week send a postcard (or cards if you desire) to each participant on the list using their posted mailing address.

That's it!  Now just have fun!

 If you would like to take photographs of all the cards you receive and send them to me via email, I would love to post them on this blog.   Write a little blurb about your experience (I reserve editor's rights and may do grammar, spelling checks or trim down if needed.)

Any questions please email me. 

The more people participating the more fun it is so spread the word.
Blessings

Often I forget how much I love the color orange.  I don't usually where orange and currently lack that color in my wardrobe.  After seeing one of Etsy highlighted treasuries I was driven to post everything orange.  I am also thinking that I will need to find myself some orange to where for the summer.  What fun, bright and cheery, Sunny color!  I hope you enjoy my picks this morning.
Blessings

"I love immersing myself into old photos, moments in time held forever in an image.

I have been collecting vintage greeting cards, cookbooks and just about any ephemera for years.

My intention is to share these images with you.

I also have a secret desire to craft with photos--so you you never know what surprises may await you.

Please check my store often to see what new Treasures I have." ~Barbie Rivett

"By day I am a mother, forensic scientist, professor and wife, but by night I am a whore to all things vintage! Sometimes I even get a little creative with my finds.

In my family you either have the "gene" or you don't; the love of garage sales, rummage sales, auctions and just plain old junk. It gets passed down from one generation to the next. I inherited it from my mom...somehow it missed my sister...and now one of my daughters has it too. At age 12 she appreciates the finer things in life...old black telephones, cool dress forms and vintage clothing.

Please take a look around my shop and enjoy!" ~One Strange Girl

"Welcome to my vintage and supplies store!

Look for my handmade goods in a separate store:
http://www.jodikay.etsy.com

This store is for the stash of vintage items that I have collected after several years of being addicted to estate auctions.

Plus, I'm one of those people that has to try every art and craft on the face of the earth, so I have lots of supplies that I'm not using any more.

I will try to describe everything as completely as possible, noting any flaws or imperfections." ~Jodi

"Hello, Am new to this site but not to online selling , over 500 feedback on the other site that starts with e and ends with y / novascotia_canada
I married into a family of collector's and it has kinda rubbed off on me :)
We have one son,24 and a 20 year old daughter at Memorial University in Newfoundland.
We go to auctions to find treasures to keep and resell , so items I list will be mostly vintage rather than handcrafted . Will possibly be listing my sister in- law and her husbands hand crafted bowls & cutting boards that they sell weekends at the market in Halifax NS." ~Denise Meister

"My first love is my needlework - I first learned to crochet from my favorite aunt at age 7, and my love for embroidery started about the same time. I would spend hours with my hook and thread, making those knots and loops, and pushing that needle through the fabric, making the design come alive with the different colors of threads. During recess at grade school, you would sometimes find me on the school steps, stitchin' away, while all the others were out playing!

I once had a Quilt & Needlework shop, located in a busy shopping center. It was a lot of fun, but being open 7 days a week, was a lot of work. My daughter and I kept very busy for those 6 years with classes, promotions, a monthly newsletter, and hosted a quilt & needlework show for 3 years in a row at our local Apple Festival. It was a great experience, but I am now ready for a slower life style, and enjoying my shop here on Etsy, and look forward to meeting all my great new customers!" ~Grace Reynolds
