« on: April 29, 2015, 10:40:09 AM »
Hello Flourish Friends!

Sign Up Deadline: 5/14/15
Post Mark Deadline: 06/15/15

Please only sign up if you can complete the exchange. Those who do not send their exchange will not be able to participate in the next exchange.

Please note the exchange name in pencil on the back of the envelope. If you post pictures on social media, please be sure to cover or otherwise hinder any personal information (address). Thanks!

Requirements:

1. Although the cards do not have to be handmade, some kind of calligraphy should be used on either card or envelope.
2. You will send a card to every member on your list (typically 7-9 members).
3. Must be related to the theme.
4. All skill levels welcome!
5. If you end up not being able to participate, please contact me ASAP. If you don't send your cards after the list has gone out, you will not be able to participate in the next exchange.
6. You must sign up before the deadline. No late sign ups. (No early sign ups either. You can only sign up for the current open sign up.)
7. HAVE FUN!

Woohooo!!! Signed up already. Sooo excited about it. Just wondering if it's OK to do it about my country/city of origin instead of the city I live in. I'm much more excited to let others know about the country I was born :-)

Ou yeah! It is going to be difficult to send all the things I love about my city in just one letter! Northern Spain is coming your way!  ;D

How about some local tea and candy? I'd love to see some local newspaper clippings too, or events happening in your city.

For those in Spain please just send a big pot of paella.... thanks.

I am sorry Schin, but in my area the real food are fabada and cachopo!

Wikipedia to the help:

- Fabada: http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fabada#/media/File:Fabada_en_cazuela_de_barro.jpg
- Cachopo: http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cachopo#/media/File:Cachopo_Tierra_Astur1.JPG

Obviously you need some cider to eat all up!

I love paella too, but it is just an appetizer here ;)
