Hi all,
I've decided to give this postcard swap a go. Deep breathe, deb.

I have read through many post but would just like to clarify a few things.
  • Postcard must be written on the back of our postcard, is that correct?
  • Stamp/s actually goes on the back of our cards? (Do the stamps stay on pretty well or is there a secret to keeping them adhered?)
  • Mailing, these are mailed just like a paper postcard, unless we add puffy, glam or other miscellany that won't allow our fabric cards to go through regular sorting. In which case, we put them into an envelope.
  • Postage, I'm thinking each postcard must be weighed to determine postage. Is this where they are hand cancelled?
  • Design, do we wait for input from our swappie, or is it makers choice?
  • Pens, what do you folks use to write on these postcards with?

I apologize for all the questions, but I want to be sure I do everything right. It would be a terrible thing if my swappie's postcard was held up at the PO because of something I did, or didn't do. And I'm totally ignorant on these pens. The only pens I am familiar with are Sharpies and most say 'not for use on fabric'

Best,
deb in Maine
