Hey Parker thanks for the card. It's the first one I've received, and so informative as well.
I noticed Parker has been timed out permanently. I don't know why, I just know it's posted beneath his avatar on his past messages. I guess it's up to individuals to decide whether to send him postcards, but in any case, he won't see any messages posted here.

Anyone else want to join in this fun? It's not to late:jester:
All you need are access to postcards, and be willing to give out your snail mail address.

I'm going to put this out there as maybe an unpopular opinion, but to me the list is the list at this point. I bought my card for each person, filled it out, addressed and stamped it and they're going out Monday. Call me a jerk but I'm not going back to the store for more cards, I consider myself done with the project.

Honestly, you don't even need an email. It can be sent through the site here in a pm just as easily.
Whenever whomever is doing this has the final list, I'd appreciate a copy. Zimmeh tried before but my inbox was full so I didn't get it. Apparently, at least one address I have is no longer good so there's that too.

I am so sorry I was so late, but I was very sick, so sick to the point of being hospitalized, from the corolla flu.

Did anyone else have a difficult time finding post cards? I went to 8 different stores, and one truck stop before I found some in a restaurant across the street from a truck stop!
I wish post cards would become a "thing" again. I love the old post cards I find on ebay from my hometown. Its wonderful to see the changes over time, in art as well as location.

I am very fortunate that I live in a touristy area and have no trouble finding postcards for the most part, but yes they are getting harder to find and I think it's due to cell phones having cameras in them...could be wrong but that's my theory and I'm sticking to it............

Sorry to butt in but I must say finding postcards is quite difficult. I am doing a card exchange with one single person and I the coffee shop that sold our town's cute little cards is no longer selling them.
Is finding well done postcards a lost cause now?

They are getting harder and harder to find and my theory is because cell phones have cameras these days so naturally companies assume postcards are no longer in demand.
I have been burnt more than once shopping for cards online. Sometimes what they show and what you end up getting are two very different things!

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to jump the gun. If anyone else wants to join, I can always send the list out again. I'm just about to send out cards again, and I wanted to get them in on this round.
i don't see why we can't let people join on a rolling basis, just jump in at whatever point they want, and people can drop out at anytime too, if they want. If someone has already bought cards and new people join, they could go ahead and send out what they have and just catch the new people on their next go round. This seems to be a pretty relaxed group, on no particular timeline. What does everybody think? Should we close the group and let it go on until it naturally winds down? Or should we just let people join whenever?

Yes, of course, go ahead and send them out! I don't think we really have rounds, I think we just keep going until we get tired of it. Anyone can drop out at any time. My only concern with having a theme is that it might be too specific. It's already pretty hard to find cards. But I am open to whatever everybody else wants to do.

the theme could be very broad. Like
animals
cars
women/females
vintage/retro
toys
city vs rural
fashion
romance
humour
art
joy
plants
sports
something like these. There is such a wide spectrum of possibilities and interpretations in these broad categories that it wouldnt be hard to find postcards to fit!

Just a tip...I was on Amazon last night and found alot of postcards and postcard books (books that house 30 postcards that can be mailed) with women as a subject.
ebay has quite a few choices too!
thrift stores, craft stores, truck stops, museums, tourist attractions, colleges, book stores...

The ones (as I said previously) that I ordered on EBay have weird arrival dates- but they are both sellers in the U.S.- so I am guessing I will get them sooner. I am also going to order some from Amazon- but have Prime there- so will get them in a couple of days from ordering.

I should warn y'all, I haven't done an art project in awhile and I missed the deadline to sign up in the penpal / art swap thread, so I'm probably going to go a little overboard on these postcards. In fact, I already started making them today! I'm controlling my urge to glitter 'em up, but I might have dyed some lace ... 😁

I actually was going to suggest that they all be mailed by June 7th...that gives people time to get their postcards in from shopping (media mail takes longer) and so people who are making them, have time.
I might send out two rounds associated with women by the time June 7th comes around...I have some cards already that are appropriate but I ordered some more that I just HAD to send.
I also think because of the theme, if we feel up to it, we could post photos of front of the cards we received. That way we can all enjoy the efforts...if thats ok. If some are for private viewing only, no need to post!

This project has always had a more 'laid back' policy about when postcards are sent. There has never been a time constraint and I think people liked that, but I'm OK with whatever the majority think:hangloose:
As far as posting and sharing what I receive I won't be doing that.

Hi Teah-
I think My only concern is- having ordered some from Ebay- I am not sure when they will arrive- as I mentioned they gave a weird delivery time frame as they have shipped- I also think they will be earlier than the window they gave- I would not order something where I had to wait weeks- hence ordering from sellers here in the U.S.. I also take My time when I pick things out- or even if I try My hand at making something (which who knows how THAT will turn out)- I am also ordering from multiple places- I will placing an order today with Amazon too.
One of the reasons I joined in here was the laid back feel that homoe mentioned where there really was not a time window to have to deal with- as I am just getting My feet wet.
So, if we are voting (haha)- I would prefer the laid back than the time frame.
Thanks,
Aaric

I went and bought My postcard stamps today- and the sets of cards that I bought from Amazon will be here on Thursday. The 4 that I purchased from Ebay will be trickling in- so I likely will just start with the ones from Amazon first. I bought enough postcard stamps to do 2 postcards per person for this round. Of course, I have been known to go a bit overboard (see previous post) haha- so I might send out more than 2 before we start another round. :jester: <---- I feel like that guy when I think about doing these.

I was kind of hoping we could just do something that was not themed. Because the books I bought are women themed- BUT- two of those books one could say are another theme as well.
However, I am enjoying this so much I do not care either way. If we decide to go with the 4th of July- we would have a good headway on shopping around for cards.

I was thinking about that too. Given the reason (identity issues, meaning that they were already timed out and came back under an assumed name and false pretenses), I would lean towards eliminating them from the list although I supposed everyone could do whatever feels right for them.

Basically. It means that whoever Navy is is someone who was previously removed from the site for bad behavior and has come back under a guise. There are quite a few that do that. Thankfully, we have some good folks in charge and they get caught eventually.

I've always been confused about the 'identity issues".
Does it ALWAYS mean they were "timed out" under their old screen name or could it just be they made another screen name, which one needs permission for,and they failed to do that?

In my experience, it's not a good thing. Usually, when it's benevolent issue, there's a 'formally known as' type of message under the new screen name. Sometimes it's in the signature but it's usually there if it's a "harmless" situation.
I've been duped before and I'm sure will be again as folks that have been removed from the site tend to weasel their way back in, one way or another. Luckily, they are usually caught pretty quickly. Sometimes I can spot a returning person and sometimes I can't.
"highly esteemed?!" :|
Speaking only for myself... bah! ;)
I'm in! Soft Silver approved my request to join this highly esteemed group! Looking forward to this'

Forgive the intrusion, I wouldn't normally be posting here as I am not taking part in the swap, however on reading the discussion which touched on identity issues I felt this may be relevant to me...
I was a member before known as Daisy Chain, I managed to lock myself out of my account with an email change, I did mail admin soon after but didnt get a reply, life took over and time passed but I found myself visiting as a guest so decided to rejoin, switching my old name about seemed like a good idea to keep some continuity. I didnt know I needed permission for this until reading Homoe`s post, my apologies to all. This may all sound like a long ramble {it probably is !} but I was a little concerned my rejoining and name change may come across as underhanded in some way after reading of other members `identity issues` so wished to clarify. Gemme raises a good point about `previously known as` so I will add that to my signature.
Apologies for the derailing, thanks for reading.

NavyButch who was dropped without warning yesterday, still plans to participate in the Post Card Exchange. Has all needed cars, and is ready to go. Also, has the necessary addresses and postage.
If anyone has a question or problem, they can contact me via PM or e-mail My email address Fox_deSade@Outlook.com
Thanks!

okay my 2 cents.. let's please Refrain from making assumptions. We are not administrators, and truthfully it is not any of our business, I can vouch to the fact that sometimes it really is something minor. The address have already been sent out, I have talked to Navy outside of the site and trust that his participation in this project is sincere. I will be sending the cards I picked for each participant. Cheers!
Gemme

No one's telling anyone else to or not to swap with Navy. That's up to each person. However, people don't get timed out for no reason, so it's not about 'making assumptions', especially when the reasoning has been shared by the administrators.
Chained Daisy, thank you for your post. It's helpful for folks who may have interacted with you previously to know that you are 'that' person, so I always appreciate it when someone who does come back under a new name, no matter the reason, is transparent about it.
Sorry for the sideways derail, Soft! My cards went out late yesterday.

I am ok with sending NB postcards and plan on staying in touch with him. There are managerial reasons why decisions are made by the admins. But it doesnt/shouldnt affect individual members and their choices to stay in contact.

I have gotten several private inquiries about Navy Butch. I really know nothing about him. I havent spoken to him at all, since he was timed out. I have had no interaction with him at all, other than in BFP. I do not correspond with him on other sites. I do not know who he is suppose to be, and just know him as NB. I did talk to Medusa briefly about him, and was told he is suspected to be a former member who was timed out, but I have no idea why that member was timed out. I suggest you ask Ms Medusa about it if you have other inquiries.
I also want to state that anytime we "meet" people electronically that they can be who they present themselves to be...or could be anyone else. Act accordingly. I have met some very real and wonderful people on the internet. And some not so real ones. I only state the warning to be careful because people seemed worried about NB. My point is, if you dont know someone, you should ALWAYS use precaution. But without some risk, we might not ever meet the truly good people on the internet. Chose your actions. Act wisely. Enjoy but stay safe.
sound good?
My postcards went out today! two for everyone!
Yesterday I was putting together my "hold us over" women cards when I came down to NB's name. I'd not looked at the name before that moment and it seemed to be a very curious name. I Googled it and I'm now of the opinion that it's not his/her real name.
As Soft Silver rightly says... we have no idea why this person was banished. True! And... I have no idea why this person did not use his/her real name ... or what seems to be something other than his/her real name. Certainly there are legitimate reason for maintaining one's privacy but it's a bit odd to sign up for a postcard exchange and not use your real info while everyone else is using their real info. Of course... from what I can tell... from what I'm assuming anyway... everyone who's participating appears to be using a real info! :)
So, I was bout to send him/her a card until I noticed the name... Googled the name... and became suspicious of the name. I'm not sending him/her a card for the simple fact that he/she is not fully trusting us and that causes me concern.
As Soft Silver says... act cautiously!
P.S. And FYI... this is the first time I've ever felt the need or curiosity to Google someone from this site.

I think I'll be able to get all my homemade postcards out in the mail tomorrow. Does anyone love cats? The color pink? The color orange? I have one for each of those. First pm or message here gets it. Otherwise, I'll choose randomly.
I'm afraid the Texas heat is going to melt everything before they even begin their trip though! 😱 Keep your fingers crossed people!

I dropped my postcards off at the post office today, finally! I finished them a week and a half ago, but was crazy busy at work and then home sick so I hadn't been able to get to the post office.
I'm a little worried because it rained for hours today ... hopefully they get to you in one piece with everything still attached and not too worse for wear. Perhaps the rain will make the watercolor background that some of them have even better?!?
Thank you to everyone for the wonderful postcards! Homoe, I'm looking at Rachel Maddow pinned up next to my computer monitor right now. :) This was SO much fun.

I remember a bar in Madison Wisconsin called the Back Door and that is where you went to enter the joint as well!
Most bar's front windows were boarded up. I guess they didn't want looky loo's peaking in or perhaps rocks tossed through them, I dunno!
