Description:

An amazing reincarnation of the September state map postcard swap! It's a miracle!!

You will have 5 partners.

You will purchase 5 postcards with a state map. You know the type.... They usually have a map of the state, with some handy state facts like the state bird, the state flower, and other nifty must-know details. OHIO... the Buckeye State.

Mail one of these postcards to each of your partners. That's a total of 5 postcards to mail to your US ONLY partners.

NOTE: some collectors prefer their card in an envelope, some like them mailed naked. If you have a strong preference,, please leave a comment! Try to go with your partner's preference.

Now, the nitty gritty. You don't have to live in that state. You don't have to be in that state. If you go to Maine, and get 5 Maine postcards, you can use those, even if you live in Poughkeepsie.

Questions, send me a note using swap bot contact, or post it here in the discussion.

Newbies welcome, with complete profile. Please follow through. You will create good karma in your life and for those around you. Plus you will sleep better.

Who will be the first to get all 50 states?!

LOL! I was thinking, in the September swap, that was just doing an interesting random postcard swap, but now I'm already hooked by this idea of all 50 states!

I hope lots and lots of people sign up so we get a good variety!

For the September swap, I didn't know where to get some of my state, so I Googled "CT State Map Postcards"--and found a wealth of resources from the State itself!

Check out your own state for interesting postcards from departments like the DEP.

I love the idea! I joined but to this day have not found any state cards. I will have to venture to different stores to a google search before this one actually starts. If not I'll have to depart lol.

~Pretty please~ could my partners send the postcard in an envelope. I only collect postcards that are new and NOT written on. You are guaranteed a heart if you send it in an envelope. Thanks! Erin

I tend to find them at major tourist spots, and highway rest stops. If you MUST, you can make one, or make one digitally by some miracle of modern technology. But do try to get the standard garden (state) variety.

Mostly, enjoy the trip, and be patient with your partners. It's supposed to be fun!

I agree with paflip25. I would also like my postcard in an envelope. I collect new and not written on postcards. You will get a heart if you send it in an envelope. Thanks! Julie

Well. I had a very difficult time finding cards for the Sept swap! I see them all the time, except when i'm looking for them.. Airports are another good spot, cuz everyone there is travelling....

Hi All, please let me know if someone else does a state map card swap. I'm super busy work wise and can't wait around for the hostess to check in and assign names.

Have map cards all set to go for the next time though.

Happy swapping all!
