Description:

I love all the Christmas cards that I received and hate to discard them. Let’s keep the Christmas spirit going through 2013! Let’s recycle those Christmas cards! I will be hosting a series of postcard swaps. Recycle a Christmas card into a postcard. Make the postcard 4” X 6”. The subject does not have to be the main theme, but must appear somewhere on the postcard. Below is a list of subjects for each week. If you have a Christmas card that doesn’t fit this list or think of another subject, please let me know and I will add it to the list. Wouldn’t is be great to have one for the whole year. Don’t discard those Christmas cards!

This first swap is for any Christmas card made into a postcard. Everyone is welcome to join.

  1. Any subject
  2. Angel
  3. Bird or birds
  4. Candle

For #17 did you mean "moose" the animal or "mousse" the dessert? Just want to clarify. :)

Thanks for catching that error

Hi pandakitty --

Should we write on the postcard or keep it blank and put it in an envelope? Thanks!

Also, is this series to cut up a used card and make it in to a new postcard or is this to simply pull apart a XMas card and write on the back of the pretty size?

wolfeagle 01/ 5/2013 #

should say side, not size. Fingers aren't working yet. ;)

What a great idea! I love Christmas and always keep my cards. I even take home cards belonging to the office and friends, they're just too pretty to toss.

Does size have to be exact? Can it be a little bigger?
