Welcome to L&L's 2nd Summer Postcard Exchange! ^_^ This summer, L&L wants to invite everyone to participate in this fun event to design and swap doll sized postcards with other AG fans around the world!

1) You (and your dolls ^_^) are invited to design a postcard, either from an actual photo, on a powerpoint slide, in photoshop, paint, etc. and include a short message (no more than 20 words) for the back of the card. This can be from a place you visit over the summer, or just sights around your local town, or even from your doll's time period in history.
*(You can view designs from last year by clicking here.)*

2) Email your postcard design to us at lilliemaiden@gmail.com with the subject: "Summer Postcard Exchange". The deadline is July 25th for me to receive your email. Your email must include your mailing address so we can ship the other postcards back to you. ^_^

3) The tireless vinyl staff at L&L will then resize the postcard designs we receive to doll size (about 1 x 2 inches), print them on thin cardstock, cut them out, and reorganize them and send each participant a postcard from each of the other participants so the more people that participate, the more postcards each person will receive.

4) Please send $5 USD when you enter. This helps me to cover the cost of the color printing, the cardstock paper, the envelopes, and the shipping back to you cost. This can be done via Paypal (preferred), or by check/cash mailed to me.
*As a reference, the cost of everything last year was nearly double of everyone's $5, and I covered the additional cost out of pocket. (You are welcome to donate more if you would like to help with the costs, but it is definitely not required!)*

5) When I receive your design, I will reply with a confirmation, as well as details for sending the $5, which ever method you prefer.

6) Your postcards will be mailed out by August 15th, and hopefully by the end of summer, your dolls will have a barrage of postcards from all over, like you see in these photos of dolls who participated in the Summer Postcard Exchange last year. ^_^

7) All ages are welcome to participate but if you are under the age of 13, you must ask your parents or guardian to enter the postcard exchange for you.

8) International readers (outside the USA) are welcome to participate, and there's no additional cost above the $5.

~*~

So in summary, in your email to lilliemaiden@gmail.com you should include:

1) Postcard Design

2) Brief Message for Back of Card (20 words max)

3) Your Mailing Address

4) Whether you prefer to pay $5 via Paypal or by mail

-Deadline: July 25th-

If you have any questions, feel free to email me at the address above, or leave a comment here! ^_^
