When should I post in my gallery?

[mrshungria]

Hi! I just started my gallery yesterday and was wondering if I'm going to participate in a swap or give a card as a RAK, should I put it in my gallery before mailing off, or wait until they've received them? I don't want to spoil it, but the likelihood that they would see the exact same card that they would receive is so slim. When I first began sending out RAK's I didn't take pictures and now I don't have them in my gallery.

Thanks for your advice in advance!

I'm a 'newby' what is a RAK?

Thanks.

I'm a newbie too - I started stamping in February with Stampin up stuff. I'm sure you'll fall in love with this site. I first started participating in swaps, but it got too expensive too quick. You can find RAK (Random Acts of Kindness) in which you join the group and you actually send cards to random people (there are weekly challenges too). Then random people send you cards too. There's birthday groups who will send you a birthday card, a newbie group to welcome you, and some people send RRAK (return random acts of kindness). So much fun to get so fun mail!

If I'm in a swap, I like to wait till later to post my card so that it's still a surprise for everyone when they get all the cards back!
