Description:

Almost everyone has these old pictures somewhere tucked away in an old photobook or maybe even hanging from the wall. It's your grandmother's weddingpicture, or even your great-grandfather, sitting at a table..

I'm a really huge lover of these kind of old pictures, specially the ones before 1950. So that's why I wanted to try this swap. There must be more old photo lovers just like me! :)

What to do:

Find an old picture of one of your relatives. The picture has to be taken in 1950 or before. All pictures taken after 1950 are considered 'new' in this swap! Now: scan it on your computer.

Now either:

1: Print it as a postcard and send naked, stamped and written on.

2: Print it on photopaper from your homeprinter and send it, along with a note, in an envelope to your partner. (senders choice which way to send!)

Please write on the postcard or the note:

1: Who the person on the picture is. And every interesting info of the person you want to share. From random facts to loving memories, and when the picture was (aprox.) made.

2: Your username and what swap it is, so people know who it's from. :)

If you don't have an old picture of a familymember but of another person or persons, you can send that too, but please do write who and what is on the pic.

Please be respectful about the people on the picture you receive. They are people's loved ones.

Newbies are welcome, with well filled out profile. Please don't be a flaker.
