First Tag Cards

Another way to get postcards is through forum "tagging". Most "tags" you will send a card to the person who posted before you, and sometimes you will send to the person after you. The idea is pretty simple once you get the hang of it. Each "tag" should specify this in the first post. Here are some postcards I received from forum tags this week:

Oct 28 - Christmas tag from bumblebee2560 (Robyn, Australia)
Surfing Santa


Nov 3 - Disney Tag from vixen (Karen, Finland) - Little Mermaid


Nov 6 - Europe to US tag from Mahako (Marita, Finland) - Turku multiview
