Postcards...

[little man]

I think some of us have limited income at the moment and can only do so much at a time, but are enjoying this so darn much

Perhaps once every 4-6 weeks for me will work

my wallet agrees with you there, wolfy. i'm fortunate in that i make my own and that just leaves postage, mostly.

i'd like it to be ongoing, as often (or not) as folks want to. hell, i don't have to have one every day (although that is nice)...i'm just really tickled to get any at all.

i do random postcard mailings to a number of people already and i figure i'll just add this list to my other list and well....i'll keep mailing them out. it's just really great to be getting some in return. :)

[amiyesiam]

we got 3 more today
2 from 1playful awesome
1 from laney love it
this is so much fun

I have been putting check marks next to peoples names when I send one out to them!

[little_ms_sunshyne]

We received 2 more as well!!!! One from Fancy and One from 1Playfulfemme!

When T and I pulled up into the driveway, I was exhausted from the flight and the driving but it didnt stop me from running to the mailbox lol I had to beat hym!!!

In regards to how often and what not, I think it should be a "when you can" type thing, no pressure :) I know we might slow down once August comes around, but much like Scoote I find myself looking for cool postcards all the time!

I have to tell you Scoote, I think I picked a good one for ya this time around! lol

Since we dropped them off at the post office yesterday, I dont anticipate anyone getting ours until midweek!

Hope everyone has a great day!!!

[LaneyDoll]

Hmmm....I'm flexible...what do you all think?

I am flexible too. Maybe let people send them out as their time and finances allow? I am having too much fun to stop :)

:sparklyheart:

:sparklyheart:

Yes, that's what I think too. I know it's a financial stretch for some folks...so please no one feel like you have to do more than you comfortably can. :)

[amiyesiam]

we got 2 from Jo and Scoote today
lovely!!!!!

[wimsiclegirl]

:sparklyheart:

I completely agree! This is supposed to be fun and enjoyable for everyone. There is no expectation or quota so there shouldn't be any stress about when or how many...no financial strain...like one more thing on the "To Do List".

Everyone should be able to participate as often as they are able or willing to!

Relax, Have Fun and Keep Postcarding.... :pile:

My two cents (for what it's worth)
Wimsi :eatinghersheybar:

[little man]

two more in the box for me today!

lovely scenic from the smoky mountains and a shot of the crookedest street in the world. (thank you for the nice note, nina).

starting to feel like a regular art collector

[Tcountry]

Think we got the mother load today...lol
Thanks Laney...I love sunsets over water
Jo & Scoote...got both froth Bahamas (can definitely tell a difference in handwriting...lol)
Diva...beautiful Cathedral Rock in Sedona
1playful...you my friend are really making me want to visit the Smoky Mountains :) we also got the one from Cherokee

Loving this soooo much!

[little_ms_sunshyne]

Jo and Scoote I second Reunion in Bahamas!!! lol

[socialjustice_fsu]

I agree...I think sending out the postcards should be on a 'as we can do it' basis. I have to admit I have loved doing this. Not sure what is more delightful ...sending or receiving!

I came up with an idea on what to do with mine...they are so beautiful and some are so whimsicle that I want to see them everyday. I used a little bit of double sided tape and posted them on the front of my master bedroom clothes closet. I can see them first thing every morning and know that beauty, good thoughts and special bfp people greet me each and every morning...it is a great way to start the day (of course, I could think of a number of other ways to start the day great but then it is just me and my two cats....).

T did something similar. Hy placed them on the doors to our bookcase. I have to admit I love seeing them everyday too.

[Fancy]

YAY!!!! the Bahamas are arriving finally! Personally i think it should be an on going thing--as do a few others i think. And it can be done as much or as little as ppl wanna do it.


I got the Bahamas yesterday! Thank you & Jo!!

[justanolecowboy]

has become a lost art. There is something about the choosing of the card, letter, etc., and the pen...and the actual mailing of it that can be a beautiful ritual. One that requires time, planning, and care. The fact that someone would do this for me means they invested their time to do so. What better gift than to be thought of like this? There is a special someone on this site that sends out postcards that are photographs he has taken...he attaches the original photo to a thick paper the size of a postcard...writes an incredible, loving message and then MAILS it to me. I have treasured these as if they were touchstones...well, yes, they are indeed my touchstones.

I love the idea of connecting this way. Jo, I have PM'd you my address and would like to be a part of this.

Great idea/thread!
___ahh yes - actual words on paper - the way a finely crafted pen glides across a thick piece of fine stationary - while instant communication is incredible - there is something to be said for the dance of giving and receiving of a letter in the post - the sweet anticipation-the hope perhaps that your letter is received with even the slightest flutter of a heart or sigh from a lover - or the giggling smile of a child - or the internal peace and happiness from a parent or grandparent when they read your words --or the grateful heart of a friend - who simply needed something besides an onslaught of the usual bills and notices and junk mail. I am not sure how to get on this list - or if even still possible --but it would be great to participate in such an exchange!

not impossible at all. send your info to jo and she'll forward to everyone on her list. welcome to the fun!

[socialjustice_fsu]

Mailed 8 more postcards today. This has created a writing frenzy for me...it is good to return once again to something that had brought me years of joy but I somehow lost my way with it all about two years ago. It's nice to be home again in my own skin and a fountain pen in hand.

[JustJo]

We got some beautiful Smokey Mountains and Cherokee postcards :cheesy:
Thank you playful!

Our "postcard book" is growing...and sits on the coffee table to enjoy.

I'm sooooo glad that the Bahamas cards are showing up. I was starting to worry!

[amiyesiam]

we got sunshynes today!!!
ok I can play with the lips for hours too, so cool!

[Nina]

I thought ami said " we got sunshine today...I can play with lips for hours"

upon reading what I thought she said I thought to myself:

'oh dear (and yes I both say and think 'oh dear') poor ami has moved into TMI land, and how will I ever look corkey in the eye (virtual) again !! :)
there was nothing (exactly) untoward, still...and...all, I AM an old lady and well, stuff 'n things...

I then took a moment to re-read what she actually said and breathed again...

I was a little sad to send it off...T and I were playing with it for a while. Although, I feel much better knowing that someone else will get as much fun out of it lol I am so glad you liked it!

Sunshyne, T was right
Reminds me of pop art from the 70's
The old hippie in me adored it

YAY!!! We picked up ones that reminded us of people. I am so glad you liked it!!! I think it is a really neat piece :)

[Gemme]

Finally! Work has been heinous lately, so I've just now gotten all the cards into the mail today, even the one to Australia.

[1PlayfulFemme]

It is remotely possible that I am overdoing the postcarding *G*

We just got home from Ohio and would have sent them from there except it would seem that someone *pointing at self* left the SIX sheets of postcard stamps at home. *nodnod* It's true. So, instead of buying more stamps, those will go out tomorrow! :)

Also! If the printing gods are with me, I will be printing some pictures I took at The Wilds - a safari park in Ohio. Those will probably go out next week. Then a lil break...we'll be home until mid-August! :)

[1PlayfulFemme]

When I finally sat down today to go through the mail that had amassed while we were gone I found POSTCARDS! :) :) :)

We got Fancy's Movie Poster postcard! What fun!!!

Diva's glorious Sedona postcard!!! (I would go back too! How gorgeous!)

The TWO postcards from Jo & Scoote in the Bahamas! (We are totally jealous!!! Such beauty!)

A beautiful azalea postcard from Laney!!

And! Two postcards from T & Sunshyne! *Laughing* J bets on the pup, I bet on the cat, but we are both sure the mouse gets away! ;) And! The Nebraska one?? Breathtaking!!!! It's the centerpiece of our display now! :)

Thanks all! LOVE them!!!!

[Fancy]

I saw a friend writing out a postcard the other day, and she shared with me a really neat idea. Her, her friends and family were all sending postcards to another family member in the weeks leading up to his birthday. In her case, all of their postcards contained old or funny images of the birthday person along with a note about a memory, the caption, or general bday wishes.

I thought that sounded like such a sweet sentiment...

So, I was wondering....even though you don't know my daughter, her birthday is coming up in a couple weeks. Would anyone sending me a card during the next couple weeks address it to the birthday girl (Katie) and say happy birthday? I think she would be tickled not only to get mail, but also to acknowledge her day.

Just a thought - thanks postcard peeps for inspiration! :)

i'm in. any particular theme suggestions?

[Fancy]

i'm in. any particular theme suggestions?

Well, Wil she's grown a bit since you saw her last. Although she's still super girly and loves music, reading, and things like faeries and butterflies. :) She's this interesting mix of strong-willed social justice minded pre-teen and foo-foo.

Thanks Wil!

Oh, I almost forgot: he bday party theme is under the ocean, and I have strict instructions NOT to include the little mermaid. Ha.

guess i'm gonna have to get creative, huh?

thinking maybe a series of postcards that make a larger image if put together? that sound like something she'd like? kind of an easy puzzle.

[little man]

i forgot to mention the card i got...a lovely montage of the ever popular Manor, TX. thanks gemme! i did not know "what's eating gilbert grape" was filmed around here. i'm particularly taken with the water tower shot.

also, social justice....i love edward hopper. his seaside paintings are such a contrast to the urban stuff. it was nice to meet you while you were here. you have to come back when the weather is a little less hellish, yes?

[WolfyOne]

It has been a joy going to the mailbox and finding them there and seeing no bills

Happy, happy day :)

[scootebaby]

Fancy, it was just a lil jab--hope it didnt hurt too much :lol2:

[LaneyDoll]

Hey, does anyone have an up-to-date, absolute latest postcard mailing list? I inadvertently deleted my copy of it. I would appreciate it if someone could email it to me? Just message me and I will provide my email address.

Thanks so much!



:sparklyheart:

[little_ms_sunshyne]

Home from South Dakota :) Had a great trip...T and I relaxed in a cabin at the Black Hills and did tons of sightseeing :)


We sent 29 postcards out! Not everyone received the same one again! We kinda went nuts with it lol We found some interesting ones and I cant wait for everyone to get theirs! Not all are South Dakota related, some we just couldnt help ourselves with!

We had 3 postcards waiting for us in our mailbox! You better believe the second I was on park, I was out and running for the mailbox!

TxBelle~ Cheese is good! We love cheese, both the food and then of course our own cheeziness that no one can stand lol

Gemme & Ebon~ We live in a similar town to this one lol I spend many days at "the Wal-Mart"

Outlaw~ What an amazing place to fish! Thank you for sharing that with us! I dont know how to swim, but I do love to fish :)

Thank you everyone!! Scoote they were sent out today so they should start rolling in close to the end of the week!!!

Hope everyone is doing well!

[Rivkeh]

We got some beautiful Smokey Mountains and Cherokee postcards :cheesy:
Thank you playful!

Our "postcard book" is growing...and sits on the coffee table to enjoy.

I'm sooooo glad that the Bahamas cards are showing up. I was starting to worry!


Thankyou Jo, I got my list today!

[lipstixgal]

We got some postcards yesterday from Gemme and Ebon and T and Sunshine as well. Its a great project to have and I just sent some more postcards out yesterday!!

[Diva]

I got home late last night to find a plethera....a bevy.....a gaggle......a herd of WONDERFUL and amazing postcards from Y'all!!!!!!! WOW!!!!!!!!!!!! That was the BEST welcome home EVAH! (ok, ok....with the exception of the slobbery kisses I got from Lucy!! :doghead:)


Thanks! This is/was SUCH a wonderful idea! I don't know about anyone else, but I'm going to continue......it may not BE for a little bit! I have to unwind/decompress/drink..... :eyebat:

[Holly.88]

I will be in New Orleans, La Monday and Tuesday, if anyone is interested in receiving a postcard! Let me know!

[scootebaby]

uh Holly...i am ALWAYS up for postcardsz from anywhere :cheesy: we got like 4 today--well 2 was from same person,1 for me 1 for Jo.....totally loving this thingy!

I am gonna have to go out and get another round to send off...think ill take the time and get everyone a different one this time! im not gonna try to match personalities bc i dont pay a lot of attention so keep that in mind should u get something thats totally off the wall :)

[Nina]

I was finally at my home base post office yesterday...I've been to the post office since the last time I was at that one...I always am mailing packages!

I got some lovely, personalized and sweet post cards....and I got a, sort of, insulting and mean-spirited item as well....the post cards made me smile, and feel good, and excited to have been able to encounter folks from all over, most of whom I will never meet, all of whom are sharing a good part of themselves with strangers...

I could go on about the specifics of the cards, I am more immersed (at the moment) with the thoughts of how we are managing to see and act with each other in such a personalized way...how when I write a note I try to make it To the person I'm sending the card...to remember or pay attention or care enough to let them know I have been reading them and they are Real to me...and when I get cards and read something that lets me know I was thought of when it was written it makes me feel that the other crap which can happen in a space like this is really just-- crap...that this is what matters and that this is what defines a diverse community...

goodness...I am in a mood, I guess...the thing is that I mean it, that I am excited to try and find cards that fit people...cards I hope will represent me being able to say 'hi' in a way that tells you I get to know you, just a little, by what you post and by your sweet little post card messages....and, most importantly, that as I try and do my best, be best to the 'strangers' I """meet""" through this site, you are doing the same...it is good, and generous of spirit and I do thank you for it...thanks to Jo for thinking of, starting, and facilitating this all...it's nice to have a free form way to be in touch and to send little surprises to each other...

it was nice for me to have a tangible experience of people being kind and nice to each other contrasted with people who are not...I am so happy that, 98% of the interactions in my life are basically good...with the other 2%, I can and do get rid of 1% of the nastiness which leaves my brother---but we all have one of those, in one form or another, I think :)

somehow this has become the nina-confessional thread...I could delete it or edit it or something of the kind...thing is that I kind of think of all you postcard peeps as folks I (again kind of) know and I feel like talking to you this morning :)

thanks again, no--really Thanks for your time, and thought, and effort and desire to make strangers smile...I hope as you get back the little pieces of art work we are all sharing with each other, it gives you a moment to appreciate the surprises the planet has offered us...

okay, I will shut up and promise not to do this again!

[PinkieLee]

and the postcards keep on coming!

I just wanted to say THANK YOU again to everyone that has sent love, happiness, sillyness & sites from your hometowns my way! It's been a joy to get smiles in the mail, when it's normally nothing but bills!

I still have some postcards to send out to the folks that were added after my batch of cards went out. And then I'll be picking some more goodies to start the whole thing again :)

[justkim]

I got my address list just the other day...
Give me just a bit of time at my new job and I will get with the program...
I have received a couple of postcards and they made me smile...
Thank you...

Have a great day everyone!

The little kid in me likes puzzles
If only my cats didn't want to be so helpful,
I could put one on the kitchen table and go back to it.....without wondering if a few pieces are missing

[Tcountry]

Yeah...we got creative a little in SD....
I had never seen a post card puzzle b4...& Sunshyne let me pick who it went to....as well as some of the other creative ones.... :)
But she has her ppl I can't even write to...LOL it is all good

[Corkey]

We loved the Crazy Horse one from you two, thank you. We need to figure out how to put that one up on our wall. We got one from Ebon and someone I can't make the name out, Toy Story?

[WolfyOne]

Yay, for no bills, lol

Westcliffe looks like a quaint little town
The mountains and clouds are gorgeous there

[scootebaby]

I hope you're all having a peaceful and healthy summer...as well as moments of joy and shared love...

Nina

if MorningStar dont want the extra cards you can just send them to me(and Jo if u like) lol we got one today from good ol Tx--from Wimscisiclegirl--and imagine this--it was a pic of an armadillo and me and nina were watching DD and bc and they had armadillo for dinner!!!! :jawdrop: i know i thought same thing!

:lol2:

extra cards??? lol ...... i havnt been home yet...... in fact i havnt been there in a month .. :(
but will be there hoping this week. :)

[JustJo]

I'm just loving this....although I'm never sure if Scoote and I have acknowledged every card...we really do love getting them! :)

And, yes T & Sunshyne.....death before decaf!!! :cheesy:

[Corkey]

We got one from Texas yesterday Thank you Wimisical.

[scootebaby]

we got one from Corkey & Ami...sometihng bout a bear...wondering if i posted about one or if i should turn to local news....good thing we have a high ass privacy fence so the little bastard cant get in our yard and eat our little animals or swim in our pool(not sure if Jo would handle that well) but then again he might be able to kill that damn snake that lives under the bouganvilla(sp)

anyway it was a totally cool card,and i hope that i have acknowledged every card we have gotten---oh shit i just remembered we got one from Lips the other day..was a funky little card that we liked as well....
my special kitty tried to wash them all the other morning--early-i had brought Jo some flowers home,she put them in a vase on our coffee table--Gracie loves to drink water that holds things :| -- 8 am "CRAAASHup jumps Jo and managed to save them..just a little spritz really!

[justkim]

Good morning postcard peoples...
I have received some more postcards...
I love them!
My dad saw the one from South Dakota and loved the Pigtail Bridges...
Now I think he wants to take a really L O N G drive...
Thank you everyone!

[Diva]

LOVED my postcard from Erie, PA! :)
I would love to see that lighthouse next year, please! And thank You! :wine:

[Tcountry]

Ok...
I know I am behind & now the bookcase is getting full...
So...I think we still need to thank:
Diva for the small town pic
Ami & Corkey for the Isle (& don't worry we can't stop...lol)
Whimsical for the Houston skyline
& Lipstix for what looked like a scene from Ants the movie :)

All awesome!

Trying to figure out what to get to send next now that our summer travels are over. I'll think of something for sure ;)

[Corkey]

LOVED my postcard from Erie, PA! :)
I would love to see that lighthouse next year, please! And thank You! :wine:

We also have and inland lighthouse, I haz picture.

[scootebaby]

ok it seems as if it WAS a bear that managed to get over the privacy fence-and have a damn party in the pool...and made one hella mess of it too...Jo is STILL trying to get it right! lol

Ami and Corkey even sent us a pic of the bear! :)

Little man managed to calm Jo a bit with a nice calming pic,and made me grin with a cool graffiti looking one.

[WolfyOne]

Wil, that winter scene was quite cooling in this summer heat
What a great still shot it was..............thanks :)

[WolfyOne]

Wow, seems like it's taking me forever to get this next set of postcards written out
I am currently on #18 and I still need to address them

I have 3 from the last wave to send to the last 3 that joined us
Those will go out tomorrow when I stop at post office for another book of stamps

[Fancy]

Postcards for Katie started arriving today. I'm so tickled, and can't wait to hand her the mail.

Wil, the first two pieces of the puzzle are cool!!

[Fancy]

Oh, I almost forgot to mention.... I was in a cute little art shop the other day for the first time and found an entire rack of postcard books from famous artists. Imagine my delight! So, part of the next round I send will feature the works of Bouguereau. I believe he painted the most beautiful feet on his subjects.

I'm taking a slightly different approach to the mailings...I don't think I'll thread stalk each of you on here to determine your particular likes (for now); instead I think I'll find either local or interesting (to me) themes to share from time to time. I hope that's ok! Art is just one of my favorite subjects - so I'll share bits and bobs as I find them.

I also realized that many artists as they prepare for gallery showings, etc will produce a series of postcards with images from their exhibit. I'd like to find some of these and add them to the mix.

Thanks all for continued inspiration for such a fun hobby!

[Tcountry]

Great card today from Wil of "soco" Austin. Thank you SO much!
I needed a portrait one to fit in the bookshelf door...great choice! :)
Sunshyne is back in SA so she gets to see them by pic msgs...but I for sure shared.

[justkim]

I am truly enjoying the postcards I have received...
My interest vary...
I love black and white old timey stuff...
If I could figure out how to make postcards out of my own photo's I would...

[JustJo]

We've gotten so many wonderful postcards...a beautiful peaceful scene from little man...an adorable koala bear from Rivkeh...a cute armadillo from wimsi...and of course the pool culprit bear and enforcer eagle from Ami and Corkey. :)

It's always such a nice end to the work day to get a beautiful or funny card instead of just bills and junk mail!

[1PlayfulFemme]

(*snipped*)
I got some lovely, personalized and sweet post cards....and I got a, sort of, insulting and mean-spirited item as well....the post cards made me smile, and feel good, and excited to have been able to encounter folks from all over, most of whom I will never meet, all of whom are sharing a good part of themselves with strangers...


I got one semi-snarky one that I think the intent was humor...Besides that, we've been blessed with kind, thoughtful, beautiful cards!! I wouldn't trade this experience for anything!!!!

So let me ask You, Postcarders........is it a crime to send Y'all postcards from HERE that are from another state?

:|

I just found a stack of New Mexico postcards I forgot to mail!! Sheesh! :seeingstars:



*Laughing* I hope not! I have postcards from Ohio and West Virginia that still need to go out! :) :D

nina, diva, lis and jess, jess and lis, lis and jess, laney, jo and scoote, , gemme and ebon, txbelle,

ok my daughter sent me a tex on names of post cards that came in...
llis and jess?? 3x??

*Smiling* We are sending cards out to everyone from every place we visit. And one from home! :) When our traveling time of year is over, we will probably send more from home. If anyone is getting too many from us, please feel free to message me and I will take you off my list!

LOVE this idea!! :) And! I am pretty much the same way! My wife told me the other day that she can tell the people I know better than others on here by how I write the postcards. Though that may be true, I'm enjoying getting to know a lil more about each of you! :)



*** J's birthday is August 18th. If you are planning to send us a card around then, it'd be amazing if you'd wish her a happy birthday on yours!! :) Thanks much! ***

And!!!! I almost forgot! We got another beautiful card from LittleMan!!

Wimsi sent us another gorgeous card too! I love city skylines at night!!!

Gemme & Ebon sent us a lovely card of some of the scenes of Texas!

And TxBelle sent us a a piece of cheese!! :D

[1PlayfulFemme]

Also! LOVE the kitty card from SocialJustice!!!

[Tcountry]

LOL...we have slowed down a lot too...
but fear not...Labor Day weekend I am taking Sunshyne to Estes Park...
they(friends) say that there are some of the most amazing views there....we will see! :)

Maybe she'll reveal the surprise I have in store for her while she writes the cards. :) *excited but evil grin*

Ohohoh!!!! Nosy minds want to know!! *G*

We are going to the Pigeon Forge for J's birthday, so y'all will get another set of postcards from the Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg area. It's a lil over an hour from home, so it's a nice close trip that keeps us close enough to home in case we are needed, but let's us still get away! :)

[Tcountry]

No spoiling the surprise...ya'll will just have to wait and see! :)

[morningstar55]

[Rivkeh]

Thankyou Wimsiclegirl for my very cool postcard! I hope you enjoyed Texas...
also,
I got this beautiful postcard from someone in Austin--I just can't work out who its from, I can't read the name :( ....it is a photograph of a moon...so beautiful and I want to say thankyou!

that would be me, rivkeh.

my penmanship is lacking these days, i'm afraid. however, my HS typing teacher would be impressed with my speed. :) i'm happy you like it.

[Nina]

I ordered some self-adhesive postcard blanks today...they won't come 'till thursday...I have a whole bunch of color copies of vintage postcards which I have from the journals I made out of postcards...I have a Ton of heavy laminated postcards, but I don't feel they will send though the mail well, and they will be hard to address 'n stuff...I think I will send one of those to myself and see if it makes it...if so, then I have lots of cool ones all ready to send out...

even though I ordered 30 blanks, I will be hitting home depot today to see if they have any there that I can use today...I am Not known for my patience once I make a Plan, I want to start on it Now!!

I don't know why scootey hates me and never sends me any cards and never talks to me any more and never likes me any more...

hope your summers are enjoyable and that whatever, and all ever, the challenges that we all face are, you're being able to navigate them with kindness to others and kindness toward yourself...

be well and strong

i make mine with poster board and double sticky tape. then i use a box knife and a cutting board to cut them out. overall, i'd say it's way less expensive than buying postcards. and, it's kind of therapeutic. walgreens also has print specials running most of the time... 10 cent prints make for really cost-effective post cards.

oh, and should we call you buba now?

[Nina]

oh dear oh dear oh dear...Please don't call me 'buba'...and, I guess if anyone did they'd understand why I won't turn my head nor respond in any way at all :)

I have a lot of double stick tape stuff...and can get some poster board, maybe I will have a go at it...though I sew all the time, cutting a straight line on anything is really my nemesis...no matter all the measuring tools I have, it's still a challenge I most always lose !!

we shall see how the post-carding goes today

thats a cool idea...... i bought some blank post cards at a art supply store..
think they were around $3 something ...think there is 15 in the pack will have to check

We got pretty, pretty cards from New Mexico from Diva! :cheer: Thank you!

you may have noticed, my cuts aren't exactly precise. i attach all of the pics to the poster board first, then use the box knife to follow the edges of the picture. it takes a little practice, but once you get the hang of it, it really doesn't take too long to knock out a few dozen cards.

[scootebaby]

Oh nina--the sweetest buba i know...there is no excuse except i am the epitome of procrastination...no wait--i am looking for the PERFECT card(ok honestly im just a procrastinating old fart! However i have to let you know that because of YOU DD and bc have 2 new ppl rooting for them on their little escapades--now if i can just remember when they come on it could be a regular affair instead of an on again off again one!


in other news we have received awesome cards from Ms. Diva,Wimsicle(sp) and Rivkeh!....i think that is all! I could be wrong tho bc aside from being a procrastinator i also have memory issues....at least i think i do!

anyway welcome to Jelli--we look forward to getting postcards from SC---sooooooon! :)

Nina - this sounds so cool! I'm impressed and inspired....

Have I mentioned lately that this effort of finding, making, seeing postcards has turned into quite an adventure? What a wonderful hobby this is turning into.... :)

[little man]

so, i've been playing around with ATCs. (you can see my attempts in my gallery here)

while poking around the net looking for some different design templates, i ran across this little tidbit (http://www.mailartist.com/kiyotei/postcard.html). thought folks might be interested. or not. :)

[Diva]

I received 2 lovely postcards from Tommi! Thanks so much! Into the BOOK they go............

Welcome, Jelli!

[PinkieLee]

And the postcards still keep coming :)

Yesterday, I got cards from Wil, Tommi & Diva (yes Licious, NM flag does look like mustard ;) ) THANK YOU all again for the smiles in the mail!

I don't know about y'all... but I am having the hardest time trying to find postcards where I live. I have looked at Hallmark stores, Cracker Barrel and the local truck stop... and nada! I think I'm gonna resort to printing out pics (thanks Wil for the suggestion) and make my own! Sorry that some of y'all haven't received postcards from me yet... but I PROMISE I will get some sent out.

have a look at the chain bookstores...i've found some rockin' cards at barnes & noble. you might also google postcards in your area. somebody has to sell them...gas stations and convenience stores near the highway?

I can understand that....sometimes, it's hard to find ready~made postcards! But if You Google "Beaumont, TX" and click on "Images", there are TONS of pics....and maybe You could get some postcard stock from Michael's/Hobby Lobby, print out some of those pics, getchur glue stick and slap some~a those pics on some~a those cards and VOILA!!!!!!!

And it's TRUE about the mustard card! Mustard has no personality...lol Now, they could have made it the color of SALSA and we'd have us a flag! ;)

[Tcountry]

Tcountry reporting in:

We got a great lit up building from Riv. and a beautiful new mexican sunset from Diva.

Sunshyne is back in SA so she got the txt porn pics...lol :)

Love them all and even re-arranged them so the doors can hold more...

[Diva]

I doubt if any of the receivers will care if anyone colors or cuts outside the lines. ;)

Wh...wha....>WHAT?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

:giggle:
My favorite kinda colorin'!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[PinkieLee]

THANK Y'ALL so much for the suggestions! I did look at Barnes & Nobles...nada, too! I'm thinking that I need to start getting creative & make my own. It would be a lil' more personal and give me something to do when D is watching yet again another sports game on tv ;)

[scootebaby]

ok jo and i have been going back and forth wondering if Tommi got hi "special" cards we sent him from the bahamas...we both were waiting to see if he would say,but dammit not a word SOOOOOO

TOMMI-----did u get the girl and "buns" we sent you or not?????????????????

[Corkey]

We got an Idyllwild from Tommi, thank you.

Bahama Bunny is on centered on my dashboard.

It is outstanding, and she gets lots of comments and attention on my travels ;)
Thank you sooo sooo much.

I have received bunches of postcards and plastered a decorative bamboo room divider with them. Thank you to those who take the time, cards and stamps to do this. I started to make address labels so I can mail while on the road traveling.
It is so nice to get fun stuff in the mail.

[Fancy]

Today brought in Tommi's cards and yesterday Diva's.

Katie has now gotten almost a daily string of bday wishes. Thank you Wil, Tonya, Tommi (and any I may have accidentally missed)...this was a fun and unique treat!

[jelli]

Guess what!?!?! ***clapping my hands***

I stopped by the mail and I got my Very FIRST POST CARD(from Austin)!!! It couldn't have come on a better day.

I took it home and sat in the chair like I just discovered a treasure. It's an exquisite card that reads so much contrast, beauty, shame, sexual, compromise, and yet compliments all in one. this shouted butch/femme dynamic to me. Oh, what was the picture... an ax and a peach.

I woke this morning feeling blah. The stress has been getting to me and this really put a smile on my face.

TYTYTY! littleman?

Now when I get my list I have my SC cards ready to start sending!!!

[little man]

psst...it was a sledge hammer. :) but, i won't split hairs. ha! i'm glad you liked it and that finally, someone gets the contrast part of that pic. i also like the play of the colors of the peach, mirrored in the residual paints on the sledgehammer. but, that's me.

it feels really good that people are so tickled getting their postcards. i'm almost as excited for everyone who gets one in their mailbox as i am to get my very own.

btw...tommi, thanks for the winter wonderland. a definite feast for the eyes in this dry ass texas heat.

lis & jess...really like the one from columbus. it's a cool town. who knew any place in ohio would be the midwestern mecca for queers? thank you!

You can split hairs, some times it gives a new meaning as in extra. Yes, the colors were incredible. Truly I felt I better stop typing earlier because i felt as if I sounded like a babbling little girl over a new box of crayons(yes, I still love to color). Needless to say, this postcard earned itself a frame. I thank you once more.

[Corkey]

We got a Diva and 1Playful yesterday!

[jelli]

I know it's a little late to be asking this now, but please tell me nobody has had an unfortunate experience of someone mailing inappropriate things or showing up on doorsteps?!?!

[justkim]

Question...
What do I need to do to make my photographs into postcards?
Anyone?
Bueller?
Thanks in advance...
I think I have thread stalked just about everyone here to kinda get a feel for them...
I am slowly but surely gathering postcards...

[Corkey]

I know it's a little late to be asking this now, but please tell me nobody has had an unfortunate experience of someone mailing inappropriate things or showing up on doorsteps?!?!

Not unless you count Diva and her road trips. She's harmless tho, she'll just drink your wine and laugh with you. :|, and I get all this from her posts.

[Tcountry]

Got 1playful's today...I love Amish buildings...knowing they are all hand-built with absolutely NO power tools is amazing!

[JustJo]

I know it's a little late to be asking this now, but please tell me nobody has had an unfortunate experience of someone mailing inappropriate things or showing up on doorsteps?!?!

We should all be so lucky to get a Diva visit! :cheesy:

We got a beautiful Idylllwild card from Tommi and a really nice collage-style one from Ohio from Lis & Jess! :cheer:

So far, so good. :)

Phew! I was a bit concerned with ya'll being just a hop, skip, and a jump away. :fastdraq:

[WolfyOne]

I've been so tired from work for the past week or so, I haven't done any addressing on my cards
I was hoping to have them done and in the mail tomorrow, but I don't see that happening
So, ya'll will have to have a little patience with me
I have however found long naps to be quite therapeutic lately

i'm trying to get back all those naps i faked in kindergarten. not sure how that'll work out.

We have been known to send some "non-landscape" postcards.......ones we think r cute or funny. But we try to know ur sense of humor first... :)

[Rivkeh]

that would be me, rivkeh.

my penmanship is lacking these days, i'm afraid. however, my HS typing teacher would be impressed with my speed. :) i'm happy you like it.

Thankyou so much! It's really pretty-one coming your way soon-
best wishes,
Riv

[little_ms_sunshyne]

Havent stopped by in a few! Wanted to say thank you for the postcards. T receives them and continues to send me pictures!!! :)

Thank you all for taking the time to do it! Hope you have a great weekend!

[scootebaby]

Phew! I was a bit concerned with ya'll being just a hop, skip, and a jump away. :fastdraq:


dont get too comfortable im still trying to figure out how to get the list...then its hard telling what might show up on doorsteps(candygrams,strippers,jehovah witness) ANYTHING is possible.

i was curious since Ms Sunshyne is in SA right now maybe we could send her her own special cards--just till her and T get in the same household!

My sweetie has left the postcard thing to me lately and quite honestly i have dropped the ball badly!! i'll try to be better,but hteres a reason she is the BETTER half! :)

I can probably deal with most things, but please no people that commit violent crimes, psychos, and jehovah witness. Although I think i have the JW scared off finally. I devised a finger nail file that sounds and sparks like a taser. They start witnessing and i start to filing. :4femme:

Good morning.

It's probably a good thing I was skinny dipping, errrrr, ummmm.... I mean night swimming, because I am easily influenced.

BTW Does anyone have their mailing list in their email or something? Maybe could fwd to me? just be warned then I am not responsible for the fwd's that i fwd back. And no it's not porn!

[Fancy]

Started going through the list for my second round of writing and mailing. I got through 6 last night and they went to the post this morning. There's so many now! I may have to work in stages. Speaking of stages...I get time to write when I'm at rehearsal (theatre), but not on stage. I've discovered that the director's a bit long-winded with those on stage, so that gives me time to doodle while sitting on the sidelines! :)

[Tcountry]

I am retyping the whole list (many additions since we first got it)
Have to send it to Sunshyne anyway since she is gonna get her own now...lol
I can send it to u too.

I think 27.....but may have lost count...
I kno the snail mail list we got was full front page & I have written almost the full back of that....soooo how many ever that is. :)

[Zimmeh]

Can I add my name to the list? I love sending postcards! My favorite one is from a friend who went to St. Jean De Monts in Southern France! It has French postage on it.

I love the post cards you can pick up about Florida.

Thank you!

Zimmy

[scootebaby]

Jelli.....Jo has sent urs snail mail!

Zimmy....pm Jo ur addy!

morning Postcarders and pot stirrers...poor Jo is stilltired so imdoing the yard saling alone! :( its my new addictionit seems--i tried to get her addicted,but didnt work!

anyway--my excuse for last night was long,hard night at work followed by a big dose of medications and TCountry for opening the door so damn wide a buffalo coulda ran thru!

off to see other peoples junk!

have a great day everyone!

[Nina]

the postcard blanks I ordered did arrive this week...they are a tiny bit bigger than what I'd planned them for...good thing I am on a level in which I can use scissors unsupervised ! :)...I hope,this weekend, to be able to get some done and ready to send out...there is nothing in the way except myself, which is often my biggest barrier...so, I will see what I can do...

I am planning to attach laminated images to the post card blanks...I trust they will make it thought the mail...I was thinking I should send myself one to confirm they will make it before sending out a bunch and finding them to be lost in the vortex of the postal system...that makes sense--right?...I do know that they sell, and I assume successfully are sent, post cards which are laminated so it should be okay...

next weekend is the annual neighborhood wide yard/garage sale...I used to come over from the east bay for years to attend...I have since sold in it for a number of years....now a days I might venture out to look...I bring in vintage fabrics when I find them and love them...other than that, I have more collectables and treasures than I will ever need...I figure I will take a stroll next week just because, but will most likely come home empty handed, with will be my goal :)

this was less a post-card yap and more a stream of (un)consciousness yap I know...at my age, change is really hard and best not to be expected !!

wish me postcard creation luck...I did come up with something to write on each postcard, it was the same message and cracked me up, but now I worry that it's too Too so I am not gonna send it...it did make me laugh, but that isn't really an indicator that it would be well received...it wasn't dirty or anything like that---just might not have seemed as funny to someone who doesn't know me is all...

please...for the love of GdashD let me stop---Now!!

I do hope you are all well and the weekend, if this is your weekend, is kind

cheers

Good morning postcarders :coffee:

jelli my dear...next time they run wild just give me a call...holy cow! :) See what happens when I take an evening off and leave Scoote unsupervised? :|

Welcome Zimmy....so glad you're going us! And jelli, your list is in the mail...but I do have the whole thing on my computer in MS Word...so I can email an attachment to anyone who wants a copy of the updated list (no need to type it all up T...and no, I'm not using your new nickname :blink: ) :giggle:

We are allegedly going to SeaWorld tomorrow...so there will be postcards there I'm sure...brace yourselves for incoming sea critters! :cheesy:

[Zimmeh]

Have fun at SeaWorld tomorrow! You guys should pop in and watch the duck show at the hotel. You can nominate Scoote for honorary duck master, hehe.

Can you email me the list?

Thank you!!!!

I need a list too! :) thanks Jo :)

[scootebaby]

there is no allegedly going to Sea World we ARE going!-well unless the Prince changes his mind! I (well WE) are gonna take Rooster(and the rest of us) to Venice one weekend(soon i hope) to go shark teeth hunting on Casperan Beach--touted as shark teeth capital of something! so postcards from there as well.

anyway since my post really has nothing to do with postcards think ill go now!

and i like Ts new nickname and think EVERYONE should use it! :D

[Nina]

it would be helpful if someone will PM me the correct addresses for T 'n Sunshine...given that, for the time being at least, they/you are not at the same address, I can and will send two...

thanks in advance

ThunderBall is on TV...I have it on DVD, but I get bored so this way I can switch over to billy the exterminator...

just random things as usual...

[little_ms_sunshyne]

Nina~ Jo will forward address ..thank you :)

[Nina]

feel free to send them to me and we can save Jo one more thing, ya know? :)...whatever you feel comfortable with 'n all...

cheers

Nina~ Jo will forward address ..thank you :)

[Nina]

I got done the ones I planned to get done...

I will now need a new sheet of post card stamps...I still have some left, but I like to plan for emergencies and earthquakes and who knows what else...

I did Not write what I'd planned to write on all of them...I did, in fact, put it on scootey's card and then thought better of it so I covered it over and wrote another message...

I guess that's it 'till I think of something else that I think is postcard related and which may, or may not be...

hope the weekend is smooth and kind to you all...

cheers

Nina

[justkim]

Good evening! I finally made it to the Post Office and got my stamps... Now to finish gathering postcards.

Nina, where did you order your postcard blanks from?

I got them on amazon, of course :)

Photo Postcard 4x6 Turn Your Photos Into Post Cards (15 Pack)
by Howard Packaging

they were $5.20 for the package...and I have the prime shipping thing so didn't have the add on of shipping....they seem fine and I just cut them to fit the cards I wanted to send...

I'm sure they would have them at local hobby or craft stores as well...

have fun!

cheers

[JustJo]

Hey everyone....no SeaWorld today...evidently the Prince didn't want to wake up, and it's raining in Orlando...sorry! :(

In other news...I'll get on my "other" computer (that sits on the desk and I use during the week) tomorrow and get everyone updated on addresses and such. :)

[WolfyOne]

Angel T Bone, Innocent Mother Theresa, Porn Postcards and Loopy Scoot blaming the drugs

I miss all the good stuff when I work 2 shifts on a Saturday and Jo is gone while elsewhere postcard peeps are running amok

In other news, I have postage stamps for my postcards
I would also like an updated list and don't care how it's sent to me

That is all and thank you very much :)

[Diva]

I had fun this afternoon putting all my postcards in my postcard album! It's filling up fast.....already 1/3 full or so, then Y'all have upped THAT number significantly! Thanks! It's a fun project, to be sure!

[cara]

I sent off 6 postcards on Friday and spent my afternoon writing 12 more which will go in tomorrow's post. I'm trying to keep up and can't believe I've already received 2 or 3 from some people! (Not complaining, just feeling a bit overwhelmed).

Hugs!

Cara

[little man]

so, i was thinking the other day...

would anyone else be interested in doing home made x-mess cards for this group? i'm interested in doing some mail art and i thought this might be a nice segue, from vacation postcards to holiday cards.

i know it's only august (even though my calendar says july...gotta flip that), but with the size of the list now, i thought it would be good to gauge interest and leave time to get stuff made.

jo, not trying to hijack your thread here...just a random thought.

[Rivkeh]

Thankyou Diva, your postcard in the letterbox made my day!

I found that breaking writing/sending into smaller batches helps that feeling. :) So far, I don't think anyone has noticed that they get cards at different times, but they may now...

Does anyone sit and write the entire list at once? How long does that take?

[Tcountry]

Sunshyne & I tag team them when we are on vacation...
I haven't actually timed it...lol
But it is not terrible...

*raises hand* i do.

i never really timed it. the longest part of the process for me is figuring out which image to send to who. some folks i've known for a while, or know a little better than others...that helps to make my choices. the folks i don't know just get a blind grab or i try to send something that isn't from their part of the country. i've toyed with the idea of just taking the top card from the stack and sending it to the first person on my list, and so on.

if i had to guesstimate, i'd say maybe an hour or so.

damnit...here i am, posting before coffee again. *quietly stepping away to go make coffee*

[jelli]

I wonder if I bake for my mailman if he will bring my list faster?

[justkim]

Good morning! The first half of Colorado cards go out this morning... The rest will go out tomorrow... Enjoy! The places on the postcards are all within a 15 minute to 3 hour drive from here...

[JustJo]

I wonder if I bake for my mailman if he will bring my list faster?

Still not there? Wow! :(

Want me to email a copy in MS Word? Just PM me your email address. I'm on the right computer today. :)

[JustJo]

Still not there? Wow! :(

Want me to email a copy in MS Word? Just PM me your email address. I'm on the right computer today. :)

Oh duh...you did! Sorry!!!!! (Excuse: still on first cup of coffee)

Email list coming your way in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1..... :)

[jelli]

Still not there? Wow! :(

Want me to email a copy in MS Word? Just PM me your email address. I'm on the right computer today. :)

Not here yet. Our mail arrives about noon-1 depending on if we have a sub driver that day. I will pm it. Ty.

You're all in trouble now!!!!!

[Nina]

I have a stack which will be sent out this morning...I am a tiny bit worried since they are laminated and stuck onto postcard blanks (which I like a lot since I am too lazy to cut and glue my own)...I Might go to the trouble of checking with the woman to make sure they are gonna make it and don't need any additional postage...I really think they should/will be okay...

I tend to try and do them all at one time...my hand hurts when I try and scribble some message on the back, so I usually end up doing it in two sittings...for me, as well, trying to pick the card for the person takes the most time...

it's funny...I don't smoke (thank GdashD)...and it's been 10 years since I have, still doing the postcard thing makes me "miss" it...not really Miss it-miss it, but I notice when I would have been smoking during the process...and then, I get double milage out of the momentary thought of smoking, since I get to (once again) be so thankful I do not smoke...sorry, that was a little off topic, even for me!!

[PaPa]

Just wanted to thank Littleman for the beautiful postcard that I received today. I love black and whites so it was perfect! *Smile

I have decided that I may collage my postcards on one end of my countertop under an old refrigerator shelf glass. This way I will have all of the pictures as a reminder of this wonderful group and they will stay protected from moisture. :-)

[1PlayfulFemme]

Good gravy! There's a lot to read when life gets too busy to be on every weekend!! :) :)

We got a Diva and 1Playful yesterday!
My wife says it's fine that you all got Diva & Me, but she'd like me back at some point *G* *nodnod* it's true - that's how her mind works ;)

For my two cents, I'd like to be home in time for vacation, please *G*

Jelli.....Jo has sent urs snail mail!

Now, see, if Scoote is as much like my wife as I think she is...when it arrives, Jo may find Scoote trying to steam them apart so she can read your original message! ;)

so, i was thinking the other day...

Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, YES! :) *Clearing throat* I mean..I think it sounds fun! *G* ;)

I found that breaking writing/sending into smaller batches helps that feeling. :) So far, I don't think anyone has noticed that they get cards at different times, but they may now...

Does anyone sit and write the entire list at once? How long does that take?

I tend to do ours all at once, but now that the list has grown more, may break it into batches! I, also, haven't timed it, but would say around an hour and a half or so. I try not to write the same message on every card, tho some are repeats. I'm a "personalize it" kinda girl. So, that probably takes me a lil longer! And I am TOTALLY going to be as smart as Tommi & print out address labels!!! :D

Just wanted to thank Littleman for the beautiful postcard that I received today. I love black and whites so it was perfect! *Smile

Just a quick warning, your countertop will likely soon fill up! :)


Tommi, that looks like the perfect artist's retreat. Peaceful..*nodnod* Thanks for the card!

Diva! I LOVED the card!! And the boot? Well, it was perfect!!! Thanks much!!!

[little_ms_sunshyne]

I DO!!!!!!!!!!!! Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Fancy]

got your japanese calligraphy card yesterday! i.love.it. thank you!

You're welcome! Despite me saying I wasn't personalizing cards; I saw that and thought immediately of you. Each card in the series had a different word, and that was your word. I believe they're stickers of some sort...

Not yet...but don't worry. :) I think sometimes the postcards are lower priority than other things...we've found some of ours to be slow.

We got a foxy card from Lis & Jess...and I got my awesome Aries card from Fancy...thank you, thank you! Love them!

I really am tickled at how well this has caught on, and so glad that everyone is enjoying it, and the list is growing.

:cheer:

[Zimmeh]

Also, it may take up to ten business days to arrive. I know when I send letters and postcards to my best butch friend in Ireland, it takes seven business days.

Hope this helps!

We have a local place called Glassy Mtn and we have many times rode bikes/motorcycle/car down to watch the hand gliders take off and land.

There is so much to do this side of the Rockies... All of the postcards I sent out are within driving distance of where I live. Next week I will be heading up to Hanging Lake in Glenwood Springs canyon and taking pictures to make into post cards... I was going to go yesterday but got to spend time with my daughter and grand daughter... Priorities ya know...

i got two pieces of mail love today.

kim...beautimous shot from colorful colorado. thank you...it's been a while since i've been out that way. it's always nice to be reminded.

rivkeh...a lovely shot of coastal australia (you took this shot, right?) hope you're keeping warm...if not, let me know--i'll send you some of the 100+ we're having here.

i suspect i'm going to need to put together another batch to go out before my trip to NYC. once i get back, you can all expect some shots from the big apple.
