Description:

This is my first swap so ask all the questions you need.
I thought it would be fun to see the beautiful things we see everyday but might not notice.
For this swap you will take 2 photographs of beautiful things you pass by everyday but might not notice.
Everyone will have 2 partners to send snail mail, your 2 photos to.
The photos have to be your own. It would also be great if we include a description of the photo and where you took it. I think we could all use a little beauty in our everyday lives.

Hey there! I love fast turnaround swaps like this! I do want to mention though, since you're welcoming questions, that a one-day turnaround swap such as this is fraught with problems. In my small-town, to send international I have to actually go to the post office, which is only open for three hours on Saturday, (which February 1 is). I know some folks have post offices that aren't open at all Saturdays. I mention this not with the expectation that you will change the swap, but really just to make you and others aware of the logistics.

Thank you midwestkiwi, I hadn't realized that the mail date was on a Saturday, I will edit that. OXOXOX

I have a question. Do you have to send two photos for each partner or two photos for both of them so you send one to each of them? Kinda confused. Thanks :)

chanabanana 01/27/2014 #

Good question, IezzySupardi. I think it would be more fun if we sent 2 photos to each partner. I guess they could be the same photos, meaning you would only have to take 2 photos total, print 4, but since the idea behind this swap is for us to notice the beautiful things around us everyday, I think we should take as many photos as we like and send 2 to our swap partners. I hope that makes some sense cause I am kinda confusing myself. OXOXOX

I can't join this time, so I really hope there will be more rounds!

chanabanana 01/29/2014 #

I'm sorry to hear that MelinaBea, but don't worry I already have plans for more swaps like this. I hope to swap with you in the next one. Oxoxox

Hola creativesort, this is my first time hosting a swap, so if I don't mess this one up to bad I will host more and maybe we can have both, regional and international. I will send you a note as soon as I have come up with something. OXOXOXO

I am new to this site but would love to join this swap. I see I joined just in time, but how do I get my partner's address to swap with them? =] I see you have the dealine to mail off the photo's by Feb 3rd. So I would need an address soon =]

p.s. can the photo's be printed on a sheet on paper from my computer? Or do they need to be professionaly printed on Photo paper?? Thanks <3

chanabanana 02/ 1/2014 #

Hola GracelynnsMommy2014, I am glad you joined the swap. On the top right of the swap page is a yellow box, just click on "See the partners you send to" and you will find the addresses of your partners.
Sure the photos can be printed on computer paper, I don't mind but if you like you can ask your swap partner what they prefer.
Have fun and I hope to host more swaps like this so I hope to swap with you again. OXOXOX Chana

GracelynnsMommy2014 02/ 1/2014 #

Thank you chana, I will send my photos out tomorrow since today is Sunday and the post office is closed :-P My partners will they be the ones sending me photos too? Or will I have 2 different people sending me photos? Also is it okay if I send an introductory letter with my photos? :) thanks again and sorry for all the questions :)

GracelynnsMommy2014 02/ 1/2014 #

Oh yeah, and do these photos need to be landscape photos? Or can the be of items? Such as flowers in my garden, or places that I drive by alot?

GracelynnsMommy2014 02/ 1/2014 #

Just letting you know my Letters are in the mail now =] xoxox

chanabanana 02/ 2/2014 #

No worries GracelynnsMommy, Im happy to answer any questions you have. I believe you will get photos from other participants but because there are only a few people in the swap I can't be sure. As far as the photos, they can be anything you see everyday but don't really notice. I guess is that there are so many beautiful things around us that we don't even really see them.
I think it would be great if you send an introduction letter, I am sure your swap partners would love to know you and about why you chose the photos you did. OXOXOX Chana
