International Women's Day is the story of ordinary women as makers of history; it is rooted in the centuries-old struggle of women to participate in society on an equal footing with men.

Hi, I am a newbie and make handmade fabric postcards can I send mine in an envelope. I wanted to run a swap like this but I am new and I cannot do that yet. I hope I can participate in your swap.

Yes, I think it would be okay to send it in an envelope if it is handmade. make sure you follow swap requirements-Send one postcard of a woman who has made history (herstory?) to three swap partners. Try to have it arrive by March 8 which is International Woman's Day.

Postcards may be store-bought or handmade. If handmade, please include some information about the woman featured. I assume a store bought postcard will have a blurb about the featured woman.

I started working on making my cards this afternoon. So much fun! I am looking forward to seeing what remarkable women end up in my mailbox! :)

This is my first swap, how do I know the addresses I am to send to?

aprilk 02/23/2010 #

you have to wait until the sign-up date and then the host will assign partners on that date.

Aleshea 02/23/2010 #

Oh! Okay! Thanks =]

After I have assigned partners, there will be a yellow box in the upper right hand corner when you click on the swap.

Today is the last day to sign up. So tomorrow I will assign partners. I hope y'all have your postcards ready. The send by date is in just a few days. :)

Hmmm, I think I might have failed the subject matter of this swap... We'll see.
