The annual this-is-not-an-XMAS card postcard exchange

I admit that I am a little late this year but it is that time of the year again:

The annual this-is-not-an-XMAS card postcard exchange

I will design a brand new Girl postcard which I am going to have printed in a card shop in a special very limited edition. It is not going to be your typical Christmas card, there is no Christmas tree on it nor any other Christmas references. It’s probably going to be more of a New Year card to be honest, but I am not sure yet. It can be anything.

It will be a double card in full colour and it is not going to be the image you see on the top of this post by the way.

Now, you want one of those extremely-limited-edition-due-to-be-a-collectors-item-cards won’t you?

Current card counter: 10

Cool.
Here is the deal.
I’ll send you one and the only thing you have to do is to send me a card back.

That’s easy – I hear you think.
I know, too easy!
That’s why I have one more rule:

Do not send me a Christmas card in return. NOT. Please. NOT. Really. NOT.
Just find or make a card with something on it that you like. Get creative. You can make one yourself. Take a piece of paper and draw something on it. Or cut out a picture of Bill(y Mack) and send it, that will all be fine! You can also just buy a card in the shop, just as long as it is not Christmassy!

All the cards I receive will be scanned and put on display in a gallery on this website. (don’t worry it will be anonymous)

So – if you are up for it, leave a comment and send me your postal address and I’ll send you a card.

Just some notes:
I won’t send you the card before late in December/early January.
And please wait with sending yours until somewhere in December too (as that’s when I will be in my winter depression), it will give you time enough to get creative or to start looking for the perfect card.

I will first gather all addresses and will then send a mail out with my address in it (might take a while, so don’t worry I will get back to you I promise!). The most important thing right now is that I need to know how many cards I should order, so please speak up if you are in!

    Last year I never managed to send you a card in return, so to be fair I wont sign up this year. However, this year I will send you something.

    Yes please. My daughter would be very keen to send a card (she has a much more creative element than Dad).

    Cheers

    Hi Ingrid,

    I sent you a message ~ but before I typed in the anti-spam numbers, my twitchy index finger pushed send. Hope you got it anyway~

Have your say
