We had a "Repetition" swap theme on January 1st, 2017.  You can check it out by typing "Repetition" in the "Search This Blog" search bar halfway down on the right side of the MMSA Home Page.

SWAP DETAILS:

You may submit as many as four (4) Post Cards.  (You will get back the same number of PC's as you send in, each from a different artist.) 

Mail your PC's to your host in an envelope along with loose postage and self-address labels.  Your host will mail out the swapped PC's after the exchange is processed.

PLEASE WRITE THE SWAP THEME TITLE ON THE BACK OF YOUR POSTCARD.  THIS HELPS ME WHEN I'M JUGGLING SEVERAL SWAPS AT THE SAME TIME.  THANKS.

If you're sending in more than one PC and there's any chance that they might get stuck together in your  envelope, please separate each piece with waxed paper or cellophane for protection while they go through the postal system.

Sample template of layout for PC backs

Write your return address or email address on the back of each PC so the recipient can thank you.
Include a little extra postage for each card if your art is fragile, stiff, thick, heavy, or non-machinable.

Rounded or notched corners make your post cards "non-machinable" and they will need either extra postage, or envelopes for mailing along to your swap partner(s).
