international Christmas card swap

I'm planning on hosting an international handmade Christmas card swap. I'm in Japan and I hope to have people from all over the world.

---INSTRUCTIONS---

In this swap you will make 3 or more Christmas cards (or season's greeting cards) and send them to me.
(Size: preferably 4 1/4" x 5 1/2")
Each card can be the same or different, your choice.
You will receive as many cards as you make, for example if you send me 5 cards then you will receive 5 different
cards back.

**about the cards**
Cards must have an envelope to go with it. Just make sure they are a size to fit in an already assembled envelope or you will need to make your own envelope too.
Inside of each card please write or type sentiment, or you can draw, paint, place photos instead.
Quality work only, please. Make something you would be delighted to receive.

**mailing instructions**
Please place your Christmas cards in a plastic bag for waterproof purposes.
Include a self addressed return envelope.
Please stick a Post-it on each card with your name on the post-it, or put each card with its own envelope in a separate baggie with your name.

**return postage**
For the return postage you can paypal me or send me US$ in cash.
To those who will pay via paypal I will send an invoice after sorting the cards, so please let me know your paypal account.
Those who will pay in cash, please include the same amount as it cost to ship plus $3. (if it cost $10, please send me $13. extras will be returned.)

**due date**
All the cards must be in my hand on or before Novemver 15th.
I will sort the cards and send them to you on November 20th,
so please make sure to be in time, otherwise your cards will be returned.
Usually it takes 5 to 10 days from the US to Japan. From Europe it takes 7 to 12 days.
Sometimes it takes longer because of the customs.
