Postcard Swap

Okay, I discovered another postcard swap, same concept as the previous post. Tanya over at Tanya Peila dot com has decided to host this exchange because the other one has 3 going already.


Here is her description:

How it works: 50 families (one from each state) will swap postcards over the next year. Each state will have their own week and will send out 49 postcards, one to each state, during that week. We will go in alphabetical order of the states. At the end of 50 weeks we will all have received a postcard from 49 other states!

At my house, we plan on putting up a large map of the United States, and connecting each postcard that we receive to it’s corresponding state.

The postcards will be somehow themed about the state that you live in (I know I see state postcards all of the time at places like Walgreens and gas stations, but you could feel free to make your own, as well!) On the back of the postcards, I was thinking that your family could just write either a fun fact about your state or why you like living in your state.

To join: email me at adventures and gapcswap @ gmail dot com

If you are interested, but your state is not on the list of states we need, send me an email anyway. With enough interest I will put together a second (or more?) swap. I don't want anyone to miss out!

Things to remember: This is a family swap, a great way for kids to learn about the states. Postcards should be state themed. You can buy them or just make them yourself if you'd like to. The cost to send 50 postcards is $14. Did I miss anything? Please send me an email if you have any questions. More details will be posted soon!

  3. I have already tapped into so many friends and family that I don't think this format will work for me... I am close to posting about our post card project... I am just cutting out Canada and then I will take my pictures! ;) We have the US enlarged and hung on the wall already! Just Like you are going to do ... we have made the states big enough to put the postcards on the states! We have 5 up right now and 15 on the way (I think!) =) it is such a fun project .. the kids are thrilled with it! Best of Luck with your project too!
