BUTTERFLIES - Post Card Swap - Postmark by Monday August 22nd

A very special moment while hiking in TN/AL

As someone who has had a butterfly land on her hand, and how special was that!!! and going back further, a child who caught butterflies (and I feel guilty about that)... and then more recently gave a  Monarch who was on its way south a ride to the post office, I do have a history of being fascinated by butterflies.

 SWAP DETAILS:

You may send in as many as four Post Cards.  (You will get back the same number you send, each from a different artist.) 

Mail your PCs to your host in an envelope, and your host will mail out the swapped PCs after the swap is processed.

Enclose loose postage and self-address labels for art coming to you in the exchange.  Do the FLEX TEST to see if your art is stiff or thick- which may require extra postage.  Also, oversized pieces or art with notched corners require extra postage.

If you're sending more than one PC, please insert waxed paper or parchment between the
 cards so they don't get stuck together in the
 envelope, especially if you use glue or paint or sealer.  

Please write your return address or email address on the back of each PC so the recipient
can thank you.
