- International Participants: Please send a LARGE, clearly-addressed mailing label. Also include one US Global Forever Stamp or a well hidden US $1.00 bill. I will provide your envelope.
- Please allow plenty of mailing time! Be aware that the mails have been inconsistent of late, typical recommended lead times (USA: 2 weeks, INTERNATIONAL: 3-4) may need to be extended.

- Before you mail your cards, please review the media, craftsmanship, and mailing parameters.
- IF a variety of media is submitted to the swap, please expect a variety of media in your returns. I will not be swapping like for like in regard to MEDIA.

I assume whimsy is an acceptable style for these houses, since they’re pink anyway - LOL. One of my favorite colors, I’m lurking for the moment.

This neighborhood is home to all styles and flavors.
CiCi, whimsy is welcome, as are you!
Pull up a chair, I’ll grab another iced tea.
 
Welcome homebuilders locatray, Bishopsmate, jfaskdown, RaineyDay, and fundygirl! Consider yourselves signed up, I will update the home page after supper, etc. This neighborhood is filling up fast!

jfaskdown, you are one speedy builder! And your houses look great, even if the street lights haven’t been added to to the neighborhood yet. I guess that’s what it’s like when you’re the first to get your houses up, lol. I love your layers and that retro ‘house’wife. Is that little girl riding a moped?!
