Famous People Postcard Swap

Thank you for the invitation! I just got some cards that are perfect for this swap ^_^

Even dead famous people? Or only those who are still alive? Stephanie (solarts)

Do we send one postcard to each five people?

Solarts: Yes, dead people work too!! And one mailed postcard to each of the five partners.

Ideas for what sort of famous people I like: postcards or handmade. I like Arthor Rakham (fairy artist, and writer), Brain Froud (artist, books on fairies), Hayao Miyazaki (famous Japanese animator and creator), Tim Burton (director animation films and others), Lewis Carroll- (writer, such as Alice and Wonderland series), Stanley Kubrick- (director who did A Space Odyssey and others),Marilyn Monroe, Alice Cooper, poet writer Emerson, Edward Gorey (writer and artist), Ghandi, Princess Diana, Dali Lama, The Coehn Brothers (film makers), M.Knight Shalam (film director and writer), Vincent Vango (artist), Monet, Gustav Klimt- Austrian artist, Angelina Jolie, (actress), Mandella, Santana-music man, Gene Wilder (actor, comediane), Paul McCartney, and I can go on. Just some ideas. Stephanie (solarts)

Here is a somewhat cool web site on famous people. From writers, actors, directors, political etc. http://www.celebsa-z.com/people.htm Maybe someone will find a better one. Stephanie

Thanks for all your suggestions solarts! That site looks pretty neat : )

I'm interested in this swap :) but have a question...

The postcard should be sent naked (without an envelope)... but we should write on the back of it... So I have to ask, why send the card naked if it's already going to be used?

Perhaps I'm missing something... :|

Don't forget that postage is going up to 42 cents! I'm wondering if it's also with postcards? The amount is both different- letters vs. postcards. I guess I will have to ask mr. postman. Unless someone else knows. Ciao,

I'm guessing that maybe some people prefer a stamp on their postcard vs. on the envelope. Like I do. From what I have heard from the post office. When postcards are sealed in an envelope it goes faster in the post office. Postcards go through a different mailing process than letters.

My cards were dropped at an APC center today. For my swappers who might have questions about my card, please feel free to email me. I couldn't get the entire story on the postcard:)
