Postcards...

[JustJo]

Okay...this is silly...but I have always loved getting postcards from people as they travel. You know, those great photos of....wherever :)

So I thought it would be fun to start a thread...and those of us who are traveling can offer to send postcards to those that might like to get some.

I'll start....because I'm (lucky, lucky girl) going to the Bahamas later this month with Scoote, the Prince and Rooster, thanks to Scoote's hard work and a company award.

Anyone want a postcard from the Bahamas?

If you do, let me know by June 18th...and we can coordinate mailing address info through a PM.

Oh, that's a cool idea!
I love it! :)

[1PlayfulFemme]

Me too! ME too!! (In the words of my 3 year old neice!) :)

I want to be part of the club! I don't travel a ton, but I do travel! :) And! I love the idea of sending postcards from our own hometown!!!!

[Chancie]

If you PM me your address, I will send you a postcard! :sushi:

[Nina]

I'd like to do the postcard thing too...I have a crazy huge collection of vintage and antique post-cards...I made journals from them...anyway/but/and, while I don't go anywhere, there are always fun SF post cards 'n stuff to share...

maybe someone can make up a mailing list?...

or, maybe I am being over-eager and talking too much and still avoiding finishing a project that I promised today?

I'd like to play, if I can, as well...

[Diva]

I would LOVE a postcard from the Bahamas!
I would LOVE to play this game!
I'm going on a road trip next month ~ Texas-New Mexico-Sedona, AZ-CA-Reno-Salt Lake City-CO-then home......would love to send postcards from some of those places....

Lemme know!

[scootebaby]

yes sweet innocent ppl of BFP---send us your addresses PLEASE!! *evil laughter*


:woodchop: :quickdraw: :perv:

[little_ms_sunshyne]

Sent outour address to a few people, not knowing how this would be organized..but a list would be great! T and I will be going to Colorado...a roadtrip to Iowa (stops along the way I am sure), Texas, and wherever else our Summer leads us.

I am excited! I was just telling T I needed something to do this summer lol

[little man]

i loves me some postcards. they don't even have to be from anywhere particular.

i'll send mailing addy to anyone who'll send me postcards. :)

if you send me your addy, i'll add you to my random postcard list. i use my own images and make postcards from them.

[scootebaby]

BTW...Even tho Jo got this wild hair up her butt i DO expect to see my name(Scoote will do if Jo doesnt give you my name:) ) on the damn postcards!

[JustJo]

Yay! :)

Okay, so far I have addresses for:

Amiyesiam
Chancie
TCountry & Sunshyne
Diva
Gemme
1PlayfulFemme


I'm happy to be the address-list wrangler and can send it to everyone....if your name is up there ^^^ and you don't want it shared, please let me know and I won't.

Otherwise, I'll compile this and see if I can keep a current list pulled together.

And....don't worry about Scoote.... *sigh*

:cheesy:

[Outlaw]

I love this idea! I'm happy to participate and help wrangle address lists!

[scootebaby]

Is this where we sign up for Snowglobes from the Bahamas?


i think Jo set up a secret door for that over there ----> please make sure you arent followed!

[amiyesiam]

Is this where we sign up for Snowglobes from the Bahamas?

Is this a serious request to join in the fun or are you just looking for free snowglobes?

[Nina]

testing.....sorry

[Diva]

testing.....sorry



Did we pass?

:sunglass:

[amiyesiam]

are we getting and giving addresses individually or is Jo making a address list?

[JustJo]

are we getting and giving addresses individually or is Jo making a address list?

I'm making a list :)
I'll get it organized and sent out to everyone who has signed up so far.....probably this evening.

So far, no one has said "don't share my address"....so anyone new who signs up, make sure you let me know if it's okay or not.

[morningstar55]

raising hand here. :)

ill pm u my addy .....
i live 10 min. from Niagara Fallls.. and have a ton of falls cards to send out.
also I found some water color paper blank cards I paint on and send them out as well. :)

[PinkieLee]

What a fabulous idea! I LOVE sending and receiving postcards! Me and D travel quite a bit in and around Texas & Louisiana. And we are heading to Pensacola FL next week for a lil' vacation! I would love to be involved in this! ADD ME TO THE LIST Please!

[LaneyDoll]

Add me!!! That sounds fun :)

I just got BACK from Florida but am happy to send postcards from Birmngham, AL and anywhere else I happen to wander this summer.

[Chancie]

[WolfyOne]

*raises hand*
I want to play
Address on the way

BTW, for those taking road trips,
ya'll know that the bigger rest stops that carry all those good free info pamphlets, some have free postcards, too.

[TxBelle]

Another traveler joins the list...

[Gemme]

I want postcards and will send postcards out to anyone that is interested. I mentioned earlier that I was interested in Jo and Scoote's thing, but realized I should probably put it out there that I would enjoy sending and/or receiving postcards from any of you. :)

[DamonK]

I wanna play.

Address on the way.

[Tommi]

Nice idea.

Travelin man made a lot of stops, all ove the world.

or local So Cal beautiful places to share...

Jo, any old card will do, but a Bahama sarong beauty would look nice on my wall. (f)..postcard I mean ;)

Address sent.

[JustJo]

The list is all typed up and photocopied. I'm going to send you each a copy, since that seemed easier than PMing it and having you all have to copy those addresses down.

If you need it faster than snail mail, shoot me a PM with your email address....otherwise it's already on the way to you. :)

[scootebaby]

HONEY!!! your snail mailing all the addys?? Did you add that into the budget i gave you for this damn thing?? i told you NOT to go over $10-- TOTAL.


there goes my casino night!






:rofl: im just playing i gave her $20

:lips: I love you.

[JustJo]

Hello postcard peeps :)

I PM'ed you all an addition today (morningstar55's address) to add to your snail-mailed list.

Outlaw...your mailbox is full so I couldn't send to you until you clear some PMs out. Let me know when you're good and I'll send it along.

Decided to warm you all up with a Treasure Coast postcard.....so I'll be looking for some good ones this weekend. :cheesy:

[Nina]

I am getting ready to get ready to try and do this...

BUT---I don't know what I've agreed to do...

can I, do I send post cards that I think are neat post cards to those on the list?
or, am I limited by some subject?...do I have to send SF postcards out?...if so, I will...that will mean it's a one time thing, right?...once we'd have sent a post card from our local that will be that?

please let me know what the deal is so I can begin to try to do the best I can, given that it's a long way to send stuff from NinaLand...

I have already gotten a sheet of post card stamps...

and I plan on sending June and Chancie whatever I want, but that's a given :)

[WolfyOne]

Nina, I picked up postcards that have something about OK on them since that's where I live now
I probably don't have enough, but it was a starting point at where I was when I got them
Not sure what anyone else will be sending, so will be interesting to see as they come in
The biggest question for me, will be what to write on them, lol

[JustJo]

I vote for "we all send whatever cards we want whenever we want to" :)

[scootebaby]

Jo has hidden the damn addresses from me. I think she doesnt trust me. Its not like i'd stalk everybody,find phone #s and make obscene calls..or anything like that. I have been known to Papa Johns pizza to people tho. :blink:

i vote for sending postcards from wherever everyone wants. And multiple times. Hell lets make it a summer thing.

[Diva]

Yeah...I vote for that, too.

Jo!!!! I got the list!!! Did I tell You already?

I'm going on my trip in 22 days! You'll get one then if I don't explode into a firey ball of flames while going through Arizona! Mr. Day told me to pack a fire extinguisher.

[Nina]

great...tomorrow I will hope to have the address list and then the NinaMadness will begin in earnest...

thanks for setting this up...

cheers

Nina

No bursting into flames allowed...have a great trip!

[wimsiclegirl]

Oh Yay!! Can I still do this?? I would love to get post cards from anyone anywhere for any reason!! and I can't wait to send them! This is so exciting :) Sending my address now :) Thank you for such a great idea and for doing all the organizing :)

[1PlayfulFemme]

The biggest question for me, will be what to write on them, lol




I was wondering if anyone would write on them..or if we'd all be getting a buncha blank postcards! :) I'll be writing too..who knows what your messages will say!!!!!! *G* Depends on my mood of the moment, I suppose!! I'm excited!!!!!

I vote for sending postcards whenever and from wherever!! And yes to many, many times! Also! Just summer?? But! But! But!!!!! *G* Y'all will probably get postcards from me anytime I travel...summer, fall, winter, etc (yeah, I know that only leaves Spring). So! If you ever decide you've had enough postcards, drop me a PM or a user note! :)

[Tommi]

I'm sending wimsiclegirl the address list....and will PM hers to all of you.

i dunno if it is organizing thing or an overwhelmig need to control things---either way i'm glad its her and not me--gives me more time to be creepy and outta line :)

1PlayfulFemme--i suggested just summer to ease everyone into it...i say it goes all year long...and we write things on them.(just remember the postal ppl will prolly be reading them and some of them are pervs)

last but not least....remember we(that means i CAN get them) have all the addys so if you dont play along and send at least one postcard i can not be responsible for what i may do---order massive amounts of chinese food--report a peeping tom--offer the addresses on Ebay!

And you all wonder why I have grey hair...

:giggle:

[socialjustice_fsu]

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!

[1PlayfulFemme]

*sigh*

:giggle:

*Laughing* I married one quite like yours...my greys are just nicely hidden ;)

I love that this is catching on and so many people want to play. :)
I'll PM everyone socialjustice's addy...and mail her the list.

[scootebaby]

*Laughing* I married one quite like yours...my greys are just nicely hidden ;)

so are hers--usually....and the only reason i'm letting her even play that pitiful angle is because i love her enough to put blame for everything on me!

[Nina]

how many are on the list now, anyone have a count?

[scootebaby]

i think we are up to between 18-20...Jo will get an accurate count when someone intervenes and gets her outta the arcade....i would,but she may hurt me badly!

[Nina]

thanks...that's good...I have a range....

so...do you get Your Own postcards?...cuz, like what I'd send to Jo might be a bit different than I'd send to You!! ;)

well, I guess it doesn't matter, since I'll have an address I can send two...that'll work !!

[scootebaby]

As a matter of fact Nina i would NOT be opposed to getting a postcard in MY name once in awhile---because i know all the ones that we get will be addressed JO and scoote :sigh:and thats just because she got everyone convinced she is so sweet and nice and needs to be pitied for having to deal with me all the time.

hell she even buys dark chocolate so she dont have to share with me

now who is REALLY the one that needs pitied in this relationship?

I so agree! There is nothing that quite compares to the somewhat lost art of actual letters/postcards. Jo, I've PM'd my address and I'd love to be included. Thanks!!

She's making this up...except for the dark chocolate part. I buy that because I prefer it. *harrumph* She's always trying to get me in trouble. :blink:

[Diva]

I had this amazing Pelikan purple swirly fountain pen (with purple ink of course) and while I have several, it was my favorite. It was a gift from a dear friend.

It was stolen in January and I just can't seem to get used to my others.....I use them (because they're nothing like a fountain pen, IMO).

I love letter~writing.

[little_ms_sunshyne]

T and I are headed for our first roadtrip tomorrow...Postcards headed your way soon :)

[Nina]

I picked up the list today...thanks Jo!!

Scoote...you can depend on a card sent out just for you !! :)...all I am having a problem with is which one will appeal most to your sense of humor...it's fun trying to get it right!...safe travels to all of you...I know we'll all enjoy getting a look at the beauty of your vacation...

I hope to get all my cards out in the next few days.,.

cheers to you all!

Nina

[scootebaby]

Jo has been busy with work and organizing the addy list and making sure it gets out that she has not had time to go find postcards yet...i know how much she wants to send some from our area out so i am gonna take it upon myself to go find some tomorrow so we can get them out before our trip...then when we are in the Bahamas we may or may not look together...but either way we will be double tagging everyone in the next 2 weeks.

cant wait to start getting them in our mailbox--especially my vey own one :cheer:

[scootebaby]

ok i got postcards to send out from the Treasure Coast...we will get them ready to go out tomorrow....and please feel free to eat your hearts out when u see the scene we have EVERY night here(well when we get to the beach that is) :)

[WolfyOne]

Got my snail mail
Looks like I'll have to get more postcards
Ya'll will have to wait on mine until my next day off
I hope we have no specific date we need to send these by
I'm off on Friday, unless someone changes their minds

[scootebaby]

Wolfy...as far as i know postcards can be sent whenever one feels like sending them....i am assuming we will send ours from the bahamas,but who knows what the boss will decide :|

[JustJo]

This is definitely the casual approach....whenever, whatever, to whomever :)

[LaneyDoll]

Got my list yesterday!!! I am going to add to it as I get the names and addresses. And, whatever name is listed for you is the name I am sending it to ;)

I will be postcard shopping soon. Nothing fancy, just local ones until I venture somewhere else-lol.

[Nina]

I am so happy to have chosen cards to send to all the folks on Jo's list...
I have little post-it's with each person's name...
I did a bit of stalking on a few names to try and suss out some specific interests...

Now I am going to address them and have a goal set to get them out tomorrow...

no excuses since I already have the postcard stamps!!

kinda fun to do

cheers

Nina

I really Really hope I picked one for Scootey that gets a laugh...I tried !

[Nina]

since I seem to be happiest when behaving like a fucking 12 year old these days...I feel the need to announce that, yesterday, I decided upon, addressed, wrote a little note upon, and stamped all the post cards for folks on Jo's list...

I got a cramp in my hand...I really did!

they are in the pile, ready to go this morning...I am going to take them TO the post office since I think they will be treated better there than languishing in a dark, cold, mail box on the street....what's it called when one assigns human traits to inanimate objects?...other than 'nuts'....

oh...and...from the whole sheet of post card stamps, there is only one left!

[1PlayfulFemme]

*Smiling* Nina, I, for one, truly appreciate the time and effort you put into picking out a postcard for each of us that would make us smile, make us laugh, or just somehow change our day..for the better. How incredibly thoughtful of you!!!!

[PinkieLee]

Well, we are heading out for Pensacola FL tomorrow...YAY! I plan on picking up some along the way, too.... so some folks are gonna get a mixture of our roadtrip adventure, not just the destination :)

[scootebaby]

just FYI, the postcards i picked up yesterday are all the same. Hell that was hard enough to decide which ones to send. I stood there so long going back and forth trying to decide i think security came by a couple times,bc they thought i was trying to steal them...:lol2: To say i tend to OVER worry about having just the right ones would not be an overstatement. :seeingstars:

[scootebaby]

I gotta go to the back dr so i wont be here to "insist" Jo finish those damn postcards so y'all feel free to give her a lil poke(stay outta the gutter please) however i did MY part...i just hope my little msg isnt too sappy for you folks!

[LaneyDoll]

I am doing the same thing. But I am doing it b/c I will be picking up local postcards until I venture somewhere else. So, everyone will get a variety of Birmingham and the surrounding areas.

[little man]

i'll be sending out my first batch of cards today. i still need to make a few more, so hope y'all are patient.

i tailored as many images to folks as i could. as time goes on, i'll likely get a better idea what sort of images people like...or you can feel free to drop me a line and let me know (that would be the quick and easy route for me).

it's sure gonna be nice to get mail from all over the place. :)

[Diva]

I'm wondering NOW if I should send an Austin postcard before I go on my road trip! I'm getting so excited about this project!!! This is going to be such fun!

[TxBelle]

I was just thinking the same thing, Diva! Must be our red-head superpowers working again.

[Nina]

I am back from the PO and the little darlings are. sent!

[scootebaby]

i like dolphins and monkeys. i like bright colors..thunderstorms if there is a light show...sunrises and sunsets...the ocean,beaches. Wyland art...and chocolate

[Nina]

Oh I'm SURE there are brightly colored Austin postcards with dolphins swimming in the Colorado during our many snowstorms and chocolate-eating monkeys swinging from the Congress Ave. bridge....at sunset next to the Wyland Art Gallery.....

I'll get right on that.

[JustJo]

Treasure Coast postcards are officially mailed :)
Rooster even (literally) ran them out to the mail carrier to catch her!

And Diva....you killed me. I was cracking up!

[Diva]

I killed Jo.
That's not good.
I haven't gotten my Bahamas post card yet.

[amiyesiam]

Good afternoon!

I asked Corkey to check the mail
he said: whose mail
I suggested Judy's next door

Jo I think Corkey and Scoot would get along great:seeingstars:

We got our post cards last night
and getting stamps today!!!!
so our first round should go out monday

[Diva]

OH!

I just got my postcards!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nina...........absolutely PERFECT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Too funny! I love the vintage stuff, Ya know! Thanks!

Jo & Scootinkski............LOVE the Treasure Coast card!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I want to BE there!

Thanks all Y'all!!!!!!! This is gonna be SO much fun!

[scootebaby]

Our mail doesnt run til around 4 and i'll be at work by then,but i'm glad to see ours are starting to arrive.

Ami....I dunno why you say Corkey and I would get along,but I already assumed that anyway :)

Tommi...i dunno if our suitcase will be large enough for a bahama girl to fit in,but do you think it will be considered pervy if i take pics of random girls for ya? :blink:

Ms Diva....i knew you would come thru ;)

I bought some vintage florida postcards at a yard sale,but there are only 12 or 15(plus they may be worth money) so i havent decided yet if we will use those....i have a thing about having enough for everybody!

and just bc hello to Nina and all her selves...i saw a binky blanket at Target last night and thought of you--dunno why

ok anywahy i gotta go get ready for work...so keep them postcards coming!

[Nina]

I had such a sweet surprise in my PO box this morning...

an absolutely lovely winding road from little man...it makes me imagine what is at the end of it...and reminds me of the pathways we are on...plus, the colors are so pleasing...thank you so much for sharing what you saw....

and then, a tantalizing shot of the beauty which jo and scooty get to see in their day, to day...now I am going to smile, and be even more envious of the strolls along the beaches you two get to take on your shell collecting strolls...it's nice to get to see a bit of what you see...

and to have, verified in writing that scooty really Does do what Jo says..."Jo said to say Hi, so...Hi"...anyone needing any legal proof of anything, I will put this one in the file !!

I enjoyed getting them So Much, that I marched my happy ass Back into the post office and bought a whole other sheet of postcard stamps !! :)

[scootebaby]

I HAVE to do what Jo says or she wont make me jello.. She's mean like that!

[little_ms_sunshyne]

Hey all!

T and I sent our first round of post cards from Iowa :) Unfortunately Iowa does not have a huge fun selection! So we picked the best ones out of the bunch lol

We just received the complete mailing list. So if we didnt get you this round, we will definitely get you on the next! Next week Denver :)

Scoote~will be visiting Sea World first week of July, dolphin postcard = no problem :)

Hope everyone has a great weekend!!!!

[TxBelle]

Dang, now I gotta go to the post office to see if I have any cards!!!

[little_ms_sunshyne]

7 more postcards sent out :)


I love doin this :)

[Chancie]

Dear Postcardians,

I have gotten several lovely postcards, but

I won't be sending out any until the school year is over.

Best,
Chancie

[amiyesiam]

good morning

we got postcards in the mail!!!!

from Jo and Scoot a beautiful sunset on the ocean!

from littleman a stunning detail of a statue

From Nina I got a detail of "the angel of Genoa"
Corkey got dancing root vegetables
I found this extremely amusing and so appropriate
I think they are carrots and beets
they are rather genderless and also have a bottle of wine and a violinist
I got an angel and Corkey got veggies
Nina rocks!

our first round go out tomorrow morning

[Corkey]

[JustJo]

We got postcards too! :cheesy:

I got beautiful seashells from Nina (perfect, perfect, thank you)....and from little man a gorgeous moment of serenity that will sit on my desk and give me a momentary break now and then.

I love this game!

Scoote got one card, too....but I'll let her share later. In the meantime, we'll just say that I'm gloating! :giggle:

We also have a couple new additions to the list! I'll get those together and PM folks later.....Outlaw, your mailbox was full again...so if I can't get them to you before I leave, I'll mail you a copy snail mail.

Our next cards will be from the Bahamas baby! :beachkids: We leave Monday! :)

[always2late]

Jo, I got my list in the mail...the postcards will be going out this coming week! Thank you again for the wonderful idea!

[1PlayfulFemme]

We got four today!! And they are as beautiful and unique as the people that sent them!!

Jo and Scoote, What an amazing picture!!! (And idea! I LOVE this!) I've decided to make a collage on one of the walls in the computer room! Thank you!

Sunshyne & TC, *Laughing* Too cute!!! Brought a huge smile to my face!! So glad the weather is beautiful for you!!! Enjoy your travels!!! Thank you for the sweet note!!

LittleMan, Your postcard took my breath away! That building has a million stories to tell, and it's beauty is amazing. Thank you for sharing!!

Nina, What a perfect postcard for me! My beautiful neice is Japanese, I will save this postcard for when she is older...perhaps in a scrapbook for her! Thank you so much!

We will be sending some from our hometown next week and Cherokee, NC the week after! July will bring the family reunion in Ohio and the fall will bring a trip to the beach!

Jo & Scoote, I hope you have an amazing time in the Bahamas!!

[little_ms_sunshyne]

We received some amazing post cards today too!!! I love snail mail!!!!!


LittleMan~ BEAUTIFUL!!!! Breathtaking even through picture...

Jo & Scoote~ Yes lucky you! TC loves watching the sunrise and set..So nice! Have a safe trip!!!

Nina~ Rockin'! This postcard is FREAKIN' sweet!!!!!


Thank You! Thank You! Thank You!!!! We love the postcards!!!!! They absolutely made my day!!!!

Denver in 3 days :)

[scootebaby]

So as Jo said we got postcards today...I only got one,but it was such a cool one(thanks Little Man that was an awesome pic). I figured Ninas just got separated in the mail so altho i initially bummed i realized that when we get back ill just have one more than Jo(now IM gloating ;))

anyway this really is a cool idea and im glad its going so well and that everyone is loving it.

ok im off to eat some s'ghetti and stalk ppl....hope everyone is having a great Sat night!

[Outlaw]

Postcardians: What do you think of BFP postcards?


I came up with the following design ideas: (all to be used with appropriate permissions)


The BFP Logo,
Pictures from BFP Events,
Member's Gallery Pics/Photography, (pets, ink, babies, bfp gatherings)
Snippets of Member's Poetry,
Member's Artwork,
Thread Titles,
Famous and Infamous quotes from BFP members,


The post cards could be a fundraiser medium and/or a scholarship medium. A post card of June's stink eye alone, could pay for someone's airfare to Little Rock...

I pitched the idea of BFP postcards to Medusa. She would like to know what folks would like to see on an official set of BFP postcards.

OK folks...think of ideas and weigh in.

Who knows, we could even have a postcard design contest ;)

We need consensus on design ideas...which I am sure we will arrive at in a relative sense after 1181 posts about, permissions, copyright infringement, disclaimers, legal ramifications, transparency, size, font, color, tone, spacing, alignment, general appropriateness, equitable geographic representation and cultural sensitivities around folks who may be offended by postcards... or for whom postcards induce general fright and/or explosive diarrhea. If necessary we can ask admin to install, by popular vote, a team of physicians to be consulted prior to mailing.

Yours in postcardville,

Outlaw

[little_ms_sunshyne]

Outlaw~ What a great idea!!!! Not sure what to put on them...but I def think that people would be interested. :) My problem is I like all your suggestions for what should be on them lol Will think about this one!

[lipstixgal]

I got postcards too from Nina, Jo and someone else. I will be sending my postcards this week from New York City landmarks...

[Diva]

I put a tiny little stack in my mailbox to go out tomorrow....I ran out, so will have to get more.....but it might not be for 10 days or so.....sorry about that!

This is SUCH fun!

[Tcountry]

I can't tell if Sunshyne is more excited receiving them or sending them....either way the city girl is not so bored in the country most days & this is a great thing! ;)

[scootebaby]

woohooo snacks...i sure hope my house sitter doesnt eat them b4 we return. we are corraling the boys and getting last minute items together...so hope everyone has a good week....try not to miss me too much and keep the postcards coming! :)

[Corkey]

Postcards went out with the mail today.

[PinkieLee]

After a fun-filled weekend, we are back from Pensacola. I can't believe that I managed to get all the postcards addressed and mail out yesterday before we left!

I got the list of the additional people that joined in the postcard fun AFTER we got home, so I don't have any Florida postcards to send them. But, I'm sure that I can find something to send them from around these parts ;)

We did come home and find beautiful postcards from Jo & Scoote, Wil and Nina. THANK YOU! I look foward to seeing many more from all over!

[Diva]

I got a very neat postcard today from Sunshine & T! I loved it! Thanks so much!

[little_ms_sunshyne]

I got a very neat postcard today from Sunshine & T! I loved it! Thanks so much!

I am sooooo glad you liked it! That is about as exciting as Corydon, Iowa gets!!! lol :) We had limited cards to choose from, but I love history and I thought you might too!!!!

More to come from Denver...We leave tomorrow!

[TxBelle]

This is kinda like Christmas! I come 'round the corner to my P O box, that moment of anticipation...is there something for me in my box.....turn the key and...YES 2 postcards for me! thabnks Jo, and Nina.

THANK Y'ALL so much!! Call me a dork, but I LOVE snail mail :)

[WolfyOne]

As I sit here reading some of the postcards I've received, I realized I erred on my addy when I sent it to Jo
My city should read Oklahoma City not Oklahoma by itself
Thank goodness the post office goes by zip codes :blink:

I'll be sending some out tomorrow and more next week

A big thanks to those that have already sent cards my way
Beautiful pics on all of them
It's also nice to read what everyone wrote
Also, the cards that tell a little something about the pics is great history

[Chancie]

Are there two different Janeys?

[Diva]

Are there two different Janeys?

Did I send You two postcards, Chancie? I've been known to do that......

[little_ms_sunshyne]

Hello Postcard Peeps!!!

Wanting to report that we just sent out 21 post cards from Denver! I hope they make their way to you quickly!!!!!! We had a great trip and arrived home not too long ago!

It was great to come home and find postcards in our mailbox!

PinkieLee~ I agree with Diva! What would I give to be laying in that hammock with a cold Margarita in my hand! Oh ya and T there too (whoops) lol

Ami & Corkey~ Beautiful flagship! We want to visit PA! Especially Hershey...:eatinghersheybar:

Tommi~ How awesome to live 10 minutes from the Beach...Oh if only I knew how to swim :( I am just a spectator enjoying the beautiful ocean views most of the time.

Thank you Thank you Thank You!!!!!!!!! We love receiving all the snail mail! Makes me happy to have something to look forward too and it is so nice to share something with all of you!!!!

~Sunshyne :cheer::cheerleader::clap::awww:

[1PlayfulFemme]

It is incredible to me how much I light up when we bring in the mail and find postcards! It's so nice to get actual mail and not just catalogs, bills, and other such things in the mailbox! :)

Tommi! I would kill to be that close to the beach!! The ocean is simply magical to me! No wonder artists are drawn there and inspired by the view!! (Loved the rainbow stickers too!) :) Thank you!

Ami & Corkey :) The ship is gorgeous! It speaks to history and is a beautiful reminder of days past..thank you!!

Pinkie Lee! That hammock is the PERFECT place. I have decided I want to move there. Not to the area..to that hammock! ;) Thank you so much for the card!


I can't tell you all how hard it was to find postcards in this lil tiny town we call home (actually, I couldn't...had to go to the next lil town). Apparently around here, the only place to buy cards are at attractions. Lucky for me we have a few in the area! The ones I sent you all yesterday are from Natural Tunnel State Park. They aren't all the same, so I tried to pick ones that felt like they would fit the person by as much as I know of you! :)

Natural Tunnel is named so for the tunnel that nature made that has been used as part of the railroad for eons. The park itself has cabins, campsites, caverns, cliffs, and wilderness trails. The Clinch River runs through it. It's nature at it's finest and full of beauty and life! :)

I enjoyed finding them and sending them so much, I am bound to send more from our area..probably during times when we aren't going out of town this summer and beyond! :)

Happy Saturday Postcarders!!!

[Diva]

I'm antsy to send out cards to the 2nd half of the list! It will have to wait until Thursday of Friday, I'm afraid! I'm out of stamps AND cards! lol

I've decided that my cards will come to You from AZ, CA, UT and maybe CO.....I'm not going to be in NM or NV long enough but to take a couple of breaths....so unless someone has this deep desire to get postcards from those 2 states, (PM me) then that's how it stands! :D

I'm seeing that my trip budget is mostly for cards and stamps! :giggle:

I can't WAIT! What a great idea this is!

[JustJo]

Hello postcard peeps! :)

We got back from vacation late last night and were greeted by 7 postcards in our mailbox! :cheesy:

Thank you to Pinkie Lee...and yes, I want to be in that hammock too....and to wimsicle....love the lake "beaches", we did those in upstate NY as well....ami and Corkey's beautiful ship...Tomm's beautiful sunsets on the beach (love that!)...a little history from T & Sunshyne :) ...and the two of you who got Scoote oh so well...Nina and Diva :cheesy: Diva, you cracked me up!

We did two rounds of postcards from the Bahamas....hopefully they'll all arrive safe and sound (although no doubt a bit slowly). I'm just loving getting the cards and notes!

[scootebaby]

Hello fellow postcarders....it was awesome to come home to so many postcards!.. Diva couldnt have done a better job had she drawn the scene herself ;). Nina....:rofl: that was great!..i never had the red jacket,but i did have a boom box--and had no shame carrying it down the street! :)

I loved all the ones we got--beautiful California sunsets,great lake beaches,history,hammocks,and a flagship! Thanks to everyone for taking the time to send them out

We kida went nutso on the postcards from the Bahamas...so everyone will be getting 2-except June(but she has something else)

Tommi...i think ur gonna love urs--they are different than the others,but the moment i saw them i thought of you :)

well now im gonna go back to being totally lazy today!

keep'em coming! :)

[Gemme]

I went out for postcards. I did not find any. Two stores later, too!

I'll be heading South in a couple of days and know where I can pick up some cards to send out to everyone.

Sorry to drag my feet. Work's been challenging lately and the last thing I've wanted to do was go postcard hunting after a long, hot day.

SO....I'll have all of mine out by the end of the week.

[Dutch Leonard]

Truck stops are good places to find things like that or gift shops in museums. I have seen them at Wal Greens, too. I have a pretty good collection of postcards around here somewhere, I may just use those. I don't know how I feel about cards touting the "attractions" of Iowa- corn and pigs.

I have received cards from Diva, Tommi, amiyesiam & Corkey and Morningstar55.

I dont think we have your addy....We are still headed to a few more places. If you would like a postcard from South Dakota (Mt Rushmore), Nebraska, Iowa, or Texas let us know :)

[TxBelle]

I would like a Texas postcard! I will be leaving Texas in a week, headed to WI, MI, OH. hope they have cool postcards.... Really, how cool is a postcard from Kenosha, WI?

[Chancie]

Phew, I have sent out a slew of postcards. :sushi:

[scootebaby]

so i had to go check out Kenosha,Wi,and i think it would be cool to get postcards from there...looked like there were at least a couple nice landmarks and stuff that are probably on postcards


just an fyi bc im helpful like that :)

after the ones from the Bahamas you all will prolly be getting random cards from around Florida!

[TxBelle]

I really love my summers in Kenosha. Thanks. WI is the cheese capital of the US, how can I not like it! I am sure some interesting postcards are there.

[always2late]

I received some lovely postcards from:

Tommi
little man
Amy and Corky
Pinkielee
T and Sunshyne
and Jo and Scoote

Thank you all! I will be sending mine out tomorrow :)

[WolfyOne]

Well, I'm up late because I've been a procrastinator
Just finished putting words to my postcards
Tomorrow I'll put names and addresses
Hopefully will also get them to the post office after I put the stamps on

Now I'm off to sleep because my alarm goes of at 4:30am

[scootebaby]

also...jo did a set from the Bahamas and i did a set...her handwriting is better than mine--just an fyi--anything other than a certain kinda blue pen and my writing looks like a drunken cowboy trying to pen a broken hearted love song!

:)

Sounds like one of my neighbors down the street.
We have a witchdoctor from Botswania who does postcardinal interpretations ..... I'll give him a call when Your card comes in..... :eyebat:

lol....probably a good idea! Jo says its all in my head,but i dont believe her!

[WolfyOne]

If I counted correct, including the add-ons in IM,
I addressed and stamped 22 postcards
If I'm wrong, please correct me and I'll look to see who I missed

[WolfyOne]

BTW, Scoot, I print and I don't think it's great, but passable ( I hope)

[amiyesiam]

we got 5 post cards today!!!!!!!!
love them!!!

[scootebaby]

i know when i filled out the cards it felt like a 100--altho i think it was somewhere between 22-25...i know Jo had written like 3 names and addys in--perhaps she didnt get a chance to fwd those b4 we left.

Wolfy--sometimes even i cant read my writing...:lol2:

[JustJo]

Hi postcard peeps :)

I just checked the "official" list and there are 23 addresses (including your own). I did send out a few of the "late joiners" by PM.

If you're missing any, and would like an updated list, just send me a PM. I'll be happy to snail mail you a new copy or PM you the addys of anyone you're missing. :rrose:

[Chancie]

Words? Uhoh.

I think I sent out 21 cards.

Please do let me know if I missed you.

[JustJo]

Ohhh....we got a card today from socialjustice that made us both smile and laugh. :cheesy:

[Diva]

I discovered the MOTHERLODE of postcards today!!!!!! WoooHoooo!!!!!!!

I got cards from:

~Social justice
~Lipstix
~Wimsical
~Chancie (The poodle is the Diva, of COURSE!)
~1 Playful Femme

Thanks so much, Y'all!!!!!!!!!! What great fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[cara]

How did I miss this thread??? sigh.

Someone please poke me when you start another round. :)

[little_ms_sunshyne]

YAY for postcards in the mail!!!!!

Pictures of a beautiful New York Skyline...Nature at its best in Michigan...and a postcard that cracked me up from SocialJustice...


AWESOME!!!!! Thank you! Keep 'em coming...they really do make my day!!

[socialjustice_fsu]

All postcards have been mailed! I never dreamed this would be this much fun! I decided to travel a little off of the "Florida is beautiful" path postcards and opted for some with some twisted humor instead. Did send out a few of the Florida one's and knowing this group I felt you could appreciate some oddities in your postcard collection.

I have received great postcards from:

T & Sunshyne

Tommi (love the stickers)

PinkieLee (We have GOT to get together when you here next time!)

Ami & Corkey (Love tall ships, too)

Thanks again to Jo for this great idea of connecting with each other!

[Fancy]

I've received two postcards, and now look forward to the mail delivery (for a reason other than Netflix). :)

Someone in my home really liked the robot.

Also received the list, and expect to have postcards ready within the next week.

[Diva]

Have I mentioned how neat this is?
On Friday, I will mail out my Austin/Texas cards to the remainder of the list.

And in my insomniactic state, I figured out that I would send postcards from Sedona, AZ, Northern California and Colorado.......I'm buying enough stamps to take with me and I won't have to look for a post office. I'll be able to mail them at the hotel or relatives.

Isn't this fun? :)

[little man]

wow...getting the mail feels like the bonus round these days.

i have a few more folks i need to send cards to...had to get more prints and make some cards. working out in the heat is kicking my butt and when i get home, i don't want to do much of anything. perhaps a cold shower at the end of the day will liven me up enough to put sentences and addresses on cards tonight.

ya did good, jo....this makes the days end up on a high note.

[JustJo]

:cheer:

I'm so glad everyone is enjoying this! I just love getting a card in the mail, instead of just bills and junk mail. :)

Hopefully the Bahamas cards should start arriving soon....crossing fingers.

And, for anyone else who comes across the thread and wants to join in...you can join in any time. We're being very casual....just PM me your address and we'll get you started too!

[1PlayfulFemme]

Woohoo! We got three more cards!

SocialJustice_fsu, Loved the card! And what beautiful handwriting you have! We are huge animal lovers and the card was perfect! :) Thanks!!

Chancie, my wife is a HUGE fan of art, and loved the Renoir! You couldn't have found a better card! Thanks much!! And the robot sticker was adorable!!

Lipstixgal, when I lived in NY, the Brooklyn Bridge was one of my favorite places to see. It speaks of history and hard work to me. The kinda ideals are in it that make this country great! :) I love the brick work..and the work that went into it! :) Thanks for the card!!

We'll be sending cards from Cherokee, NC this week! Can't wait to see what we find!

[WolfyOne]

Postcards are all in the mail
So many to chose from, I got a little of everything I saw
Hope you all enjoy them as much as I did picking them out

[JustJo]

We got postcards! :cheesy:

Scoote even asked me today "what's up with you checking the mail all of a sudden?" :giggle:

Yes, I used to leave it for her to get, but now I'm racing out there to see what goodies are waiting.

We got lovely artwork from Chancie, beautiful Virginia scenery from 1PlayfulFemme and hangin' 10 from Tommie. :)

Love it!! :cheer:

[little_ms_sunshyne]

More postcards today!!

1PlayfulFemme- What a beautiful view! Much love to you too! Have a safetrip!

Chancie~ We love the Cats holding eachother...Sooo cute!!!!

Thank you!!!!!

Much like Jo, I cant wait for what this week will bring! :) Leaving for 10 days in San Antonio on Thursday....drivin to Denver tomorrow. T will be seeing the postcards before I do... Hmmmmph :( Hy will need them. Poor T will be lonely for a few days. They will cheer him up I think :) I guess I cant be selfish lol

[Dutch Leonard]

I mailed a few cards Monday and a few today for the addresses on the list JustJo sent me.

Today, I received one from Chancie (love the robot) and 1Playfulfemme (love canoeing).

[Fancy]

Last night I started at the top of Jo's list and made out the first three postcards. I used to collect a certain type of postcard when I traveled, and so I had a few laying around. So now I get to share those with each of you. And for those who receive them, yes I know I put too much postage on. :) I'm trying to use up stamps that I never seem to use for anything else these days. Ha.

At some point I'll whip out my creative side (like Wil) and start sending photo postcards. Wil's postcards have always been a bright spot in my mailbox, and the little freckles enjoy them, too!

This is such a simple yet smile-inducing practice. Thanks y'all!

[Chancie]

It is so fab to get postcards in the mail!

[Diva]

It is so fab to get postcards in the mail!

I concur. :rrose:

[WolfyOne]

I have received 11 cards, so far and enjoyed each of them
Knowing I'm getting them, makes walking to the mailbox a happy moment even if a bill is mixed in there with them

[scootebaby]

[JustJo]

Thank you Ms Sunshyne :)
I loved the postcard, and laughed even harder when Scoote was like "what the heck, are you starting a competition or something?????"

We're putting ours in a photo album on the coffee table. :cheesy:

And we have a new postcard peep :cheer:
Cara is joining in, and I'll PM you all her address today. Cara, I'll send you a list via snail mail (cuz it's kind of long!)....and a postcard to get you started!

Loving this!

[Tcountry]

Funny...I thought she was the one who gave US the competition idea...LOL
So as Jo said we got postcards today...I only got one,but it was such a cool one(thanks Little Man that was an awesome pic). I figured Ninas just got separated in the mail so altho i initially bummed i realized that when we get back ill just have one more than Jo(now IM gloating ;))

anyway ...hope everyone is having a great Sat night!
:eatinghersheybar:

[scootebaby]

Dayuuuuuum T how you gonna bust me out like that? luckily u ended it with a hershey bar :cracked:

Actually its great because Jo and I seem to get some perverted pleasure on giving each other sh*t--not literally of course eww


And since i dont work days right now i can go out(secretly of course) and get postcards,mail them to myself and sign someone elses name--did i mention i am a decent forgererer(yanno someone who can sign others names and stuff) :)

[Diva]

Thank all Y'all.....You made my day! :heartbeat:

[WolfyOne]

2 more cards in my mailbox today...yay!!!

Got the PM Jo and will send out another card
Good thing I decided to get extra cards and stamps in anticipation

[Tcountry]

Got 3 today...
Wolfy, Dutch, and always2late

I took a pic of them and txt'd it to Sunshyne who just landed safe back in San Antonio.
Sucks being without here for a week, but glad she has more summer to come back with me on the 11th.
I'll try to keep updates going...but really this was her job...lol ;)


Scoote...LMAO...ya know if you're gonna talk shit the least u could do is remember what you said... *teasing* :blink:

[scootebaby]

you got a point there T...lol

We got a card from A2L....i personally love the Jersey shore--not to be confused with the reality show Jersey Shore.

Its like a race now to the mailbox everyday between Jo and I! :lol2:

[little man]

sending a few more cards out today. i still need to threadstalk a couple folks, so i can find something appropriate.

it's been really great getting all these cards! i've been thinking maybe i need to put them all together into some big-ass sort of collage or something. or, i guess i could just find frames for them all and put them in the stack of other artwork to be hung (someday).

jo, i have a "special" card i'm sending out to you today. consider it a bonus for setting this whole dealio up.

off to work now...great days for all of you.

[JustJo]

you got a point there T...lol

And usually I win. :cheesy:

Thanks for the Jersey Shore A2L...always brings fond memories. My son and I went there every year while we were in NY...it was our annual visit to the ocean. Always stayed in the same little mom & pop motel in Wildwood Crest...good stuff.

And today...two cards! :cheer:

Thank you Wolfy and Dutch...really made me smile! :)

[amiyesiam]

we got two more
they are awesome!!!

I also sent out more

Corkey sent one to Scoote
I handed it to him:|
it has actual Corkey hand writting on it

[1PlayfulFemme]

We had a fantastic time in Cherokee, NC and have sent out the first set of postcards from there! Ran out of stamps mid-send on the second set, so those will post from home tomorrow!! We bought a few extras in case anyone joined while we were gone, so glad we did!! :)

Got home to cards from:
Sunshyne & T! LOVED it!!!!! The cutest lil groundhog ever! (Which, btw, Jessie LOVES groundhogs!) We can't pass one without her going "Groundhog!" *G* And the picture on the back of the postcard is gorgeous!!!! I haven't found any yet with different pictures on the back than on the front!!

Wimsy! What are the odds that you grew up close to us? No one on earth knows where our lil town is! And the postcard is beautiful! What a view! I love that so much of the town is within walking distance to the marinas!!

Dutch Leonard! I took an amazing picture of corn fields in Ohio last year - your card reminded me of that trip! :) It's amazing to see how much land they cover!!! I love it when they are all you can see!

A2L! Your card is so peaceful! I adore old mills and waterwheels! The picture is beautiful!!!!

[Chancie]

I got two more cards today! Yippee!

[little_ms_sunshyne]

T sent me a text with pics of our postcards...Yes I am officially a poscard whore who receives postcard porn lol

Thank you for the postcards!!!

Scoote~ T talks shit too! All the time...(hy is on your side SHHHHHH)

Jo~ I always win too ;)

Lis~ So happy you liked the card...That little guy was way too cute to pass up!

Hope everyone is enjoying their friday! I am going to try to go postcard shopping manana! I should be able to find some fun ones!!!

[Dutch Leonard]

I got three more cards-

always2late, neat historic lighthouse.

socialjustice.fsu- lol, the cat is escaping

Wolfy- oil rig. This one time when I flew into Oklahoma City, we saw our first oil rig near a runway at the airport.

[1PlayfulFemme]

I realized today that I not only love getting them (so much fun each day wondering if we got a new one!!), but they were super fun to shop for!! I have yet to buy all one style..perhaps someday! :) I like trying to fit each one to a personality..or what I think might fit a person! :)

And! We got another one today!! The most gorgeous wildflowers from Wolfy! In this field of purple phlox is a black eyed Susan...It commands your attention! And the poem was lovely (and so true!)!!!! Thanks for the thought!!

[TxBelle]

7 in my PO Box! I have put in my forwardingg, so I can still get these! I promise to send out cards right after my show opens! (We open July 9)

[always2late]

More lovely postcards! Many thanks to:

Chancie
Socialjustice_fsu
Wimsy
1 PlayfulFemme and Lifesaver
and thank you again T and Sunshyne!

Jo, thank you (again) for starting this thread! It was a truly wonderful idea. (I LOVE the shore...its one of the best things about living in this state :). My son and I try to get there as often as possible)

[Diva]

I got Will's postcard today...........hilarious! Thank You!

[scootebaby]

[JustJo]

Thank you 1PlayfulFemme and lipstixgal! Love them both...and was such a nice treat after mowing the lawn to find fun mail instead of junk and bills. :)

[Tcountry]

Got one from Fancy today...thank ya *tip hat* I am a BIG fan of D.C.

I txt'd a pic of it to Sunshyne,,,more postcard porn...lol :blink:

I have a bookcase in the livingroom...I have plastered the front glass with them...there is still room...:vigil: hint hint ;)

[scootebaby]

Darn Denver mail...

I was thinking about San Antonio...they got the Alamo and Riverwalk...both would make COOL postcards...just sayin

[Chancie]

I got two more cards today! Yippee!

Who lives in Santa Ana?

[wimsiclegirl]

Hi Everyone! I love this game!! I have gotten sooooo many awesome post cards so far and I can't wait for more. In TX for a few weeks, so there will be a whole pile when I get home YAY!!! Saving them all!! I will send batch 2 out from here this week! and I will add on the new friends!! The more the merrier :)

Thank you to all who have sent them! I LOVE THEM!

PLAY ON...happy peeps!

[WolfyOne]

Another 2 cards in the mail today
That makes 15 so far....yay!!!
What a nice reason to go check my mail daily now

[Tcountry]

Another one today...
Thanks Morningstar...love Niagara Falls.
More porn for Sunshyne...lol She will be back the 11th.
Hope she is getting some awesome ones from San Antonio. We will send them out this weekend :)

[Fancy]

I like the idea of a scrapbook of sorts containing all the postcards received.

2 more came today, and 4 went out today...

Thanks everyone!

[cara]

I only check the mail once or twice a week since I'm never expecting anything other than bills. I was surprised to not only get my address list (thanks!!!), but 4 post cards, too! How cool is that? So, I guess I should start checking my mailbox more often now. :)

Thanks, everyone!

:stillheart:

[scootebaby]

we got 3 more cards today...well i should say i got one and Jo got 2...im STILL waiting on something from Iowa or wherever:lol2:

i chuckled when i saw scoote ONLY and Jo ONLY...then turned them over and they were the same kida card---which was very cool.

as soon as the ones from the bahamas arrive u all have to tell us bc im curious how long it takes for them to be delivered.

glad to see how well this is doing....KEEP'EM COMING!!!!

[Nina]

I finally was at the PO today, sending out 5 BFP related packages so I checked my PO box...and what fun!!...

I got some great cards from chancie...the first one had a heart on it, I've seen her drawing those hearts so I thought it was from her, and when I saw the neat 3-D robots on the others, I knew it was from that sweet math-teacher and robot maker teacher all rolled into one...thanks :)

a vintage card from pam was interesting and neat to look at...

alwaystolate sent a really neat card which reminds me of years of fall in the east coast, though I didn't see many (read any) bears :)

wolfy sent a card with a sweet little poem and reminded me, again, about how special this site is to many of us...

oneplayfulfemme sent a card with a wonderful bridge...funny how bridges can identify a place, we have so many iconic bridges here in SF, but not the same kind that evoke the kind of peacefulness which this one makes me feel

and speaking of iconic, gail sent me a perfect image of NYC...statue of liberty standing tall...

socialjustice sent a perfect summer card...a B & W photo of a group of children sitting on the steps of what look like an old big city apartment house, each one enjoying an ice cream cone...

there were two great cards from the erie PA contingent...both of which made me smile since they mentioned my favorite couple, dave and cody, and how they now are getting into the cookey duo...and, they were involved in me getting the other 8 cards...

and those, are from my sweetie who had a plan, enlisted corkey and ami and sent them all the way across the country so they could send them to my PO box and I'd have a true surprise...which I did indeed, get!

I sent out a bunch more post cards today with the packages, and have ready to send out an additional 5 more tomorrow...I can see that another sheet of post card stamps are in my near future...

thanks to you all

cheers

You do not know how much fun I had
Then I was Check your PO box NINA
sometimes I lack patience
omg, omg, I am so happy you were truly surprised!!!!!

[moxie]

Is this going to be an ongoing thing? I would love to do it but am moving out of the area in 1.5 weeks and probably won't be ready to send any out for a few weeks after that. Sounds like a ton o' fun!

Totally Bummed about this!!! We sent out over 20 postcards from Denver. It doesnt seem like everyone received theirs! This makes no sense! We left them at front desk and all should have been sent out at the same time
*sigh* Will be sending more out by the end of this week...Sheesh! Disapointed for sure!!! I know a few made it...what about the rest??!! :(

We mailed our Bahamas cards from the hotel too (since we were clueless about where a post office was and had no personal transportation)....I wonder if they might sit a little while at the hotel before someone remembers to give them to the mail carrier... :blink:

[morningstar55]

im still havnt gotten home to check on post cards ...... that arrived but i heard about them last night... :)
soo i want to give a huge thank u ...... tooooo

Ehhhh....hotel staff is a crapshoot. Having worked in hospitality for years, I hate to admit it, but there are some really doozies out there and I've known folks who would have tossed them. Hopefully, ya'lls stuff just got delayed by a day or two.

We had a mail drop slot at my hotel that was locked, so the guests knew that their mail wouldn't be messed with.

Cards going out this weekend!

[LaneyDoll]

I have had such a great time with this! My kids love seeing all the postcards in the mail and think that the "postcard game" I am playing with my friends is pretty fun. Since I have not ventured anywhere lately, all of mine were purchased locally, of things/places I am fond of. If you have not gotten one from me yet-you will soon :)

And, honestly, I am probably going to send out another batch in a few weeks.

:sparklyheart:

[wimsiclegirl]

Post Card hunting today!! Sending the next batch on Monday! Yay!!

[WolfyOne]

Can those that have purchased postcards at stores, please tell me where you got them?

Being in OK, I had a hard time locating a store, so I went to a tourist info center a few miles from where I live.

[Tommi]

It isn't actually that easy Wolfy...I had to really think... Truck stops, large gas stations, "Made in Michigan" Store, sometimes "quaint" small town stores around me have them like the local Ice Cream Parlor, drugstore or local historical society building. One of our Dollar stores carries them and our local travel agency and nature center too.

I live in a really small town area though. So, I am sure others may have better suggestions for you.

Good Luck!

These are all good options, Wolfy. I got mine at the Chamber of Commerce. They had some displayed at my work bank and I asked about them because I thought they were nifty. Someone also mentioned to me that I could get them online.

[amiyesiam]

we got a card from morningstar , it had a recipe on it!

and 2 from Nina (one each)
mine did not have a crustacean on it

i've found some really cool postcards at bookstores. yes, the huge conglomerate ones. barnes and noble usually has a decent selection. they may not necessarily be "about" the area you're in, but i've gotten some cool marilyn monroe, david bowie, and just rockin' photo postcards. also, while you're at the bookstore, look around in the travel area. lots of stores carry postcard "books", some specific to your state.

[scootebaby]

i came home and found a postcard from the Alamo! :cheer:

now i am only 1 behind Jo WOOT! WOOT!

[Corkey]

Mine. is. food. LMAO!

[Diva]

I mailed postcards this morning (Friday morning) from Sedona!

Enjoy!

[JustJo]

i came home and found a postcard from the Alamo! :cheer:



Which, I grant you, is very cool....but not quite as cool as the one little man sent me. *smug grin*

[Rivkeh]

I would love to join this, am I too late? I collect cards and postcards too. I'll pm JustJo. Also, there is a website called PostSecrets which is good, it's kind of an appropriated postcard thing, just in case anyone is interested in taking a look.

[Nina]

it is possible the theme of my cards to corkey is: Food in the unexpected...dunno why it turned out that way, still...it. is. art. ...I try and send something with a clearer comment to ami...not sure that made sense, but I (kind of) know what it means...and hope she does as well...

I am worried that jo and scooty didn't get their cards...I find, with them, I am looking for and sending cards which I hope will make scooty laugh, and which I hope speak (somewhat) to Jo's heart...

thus far all the cards I've sent are ones which I have had in my collection...I may have to start venturing out for more since, while I have over 1,000 post cards, they are not leaving the house...I do have a good number I can send out left, still if I feel my to-do and/or worry-list starts to get light, I am glad to have one. more. thing. to add to it...

yeah, I'm just nuts...what more can I say (insert self-deprecating question mark, or bold point period, here)

happy weekend and all :)

And we'd love to have you...especially seeing as you're in Australia. :cheesy: Just make a note that I love wallabies, k?

*making mental note to check postcard postage to Down Under*

i'm guessing around .75. that's what it runs to send postcards to canada, anyway.

[LaneyDoll]

Being in OK, I had a hard time locating a store, so I went to a tourist info center a few miles from where I live.

I found mine at a small grocery store near my office. I live in a small town and was not having an easy time finding any then I remembered having seen some there. I honestly I thought I may have to venture to the airport-lol.

Big change from being in Florida in May. You could close your eyes, swing a bat and knock over a dozen postcard racks, regardless of where you were ;)

:sparklyheart:

[Fancy]

Picked up some while traveling this week. I may be able to get through the rest of the list. I like the idea of doing themes...maybe that will be the next batch I send around by end of summer. :)

I've lost count of how many I've received. I'll be starting the scrap book this weekend.

[Dutch Leonard]

Please be advised- postcard postage to Canada and Mexico is 80 cents. All other countries is 98 cents.

This week I received cards from LaneyDoll, little man, Fancy and amiyesiam & Corkey.

[little_ms_sunshyne]

Alright Postcard Lovers...T & I sent out 25 cards today. I do not believe we missed anyone and hit someone up twice :) (Scoote if you don't get them this time, I hate to break it to you but your postman hates you) This time we also made sure that everyone received a different one. Not all are San Antonio related, some we thought were just fun!

Hope everyone enjoyed their Sunday and made it a lazy one :) We sure did!!!

Can't wait to get home and check our mailbox!!!

[wimsiclegirl]

Postcards bought in LA this weekend....sending them out tomorrow....YAY!!

Love this game...

Wimsi :)

[Rivkeh]

And we'd love to have you...especially seeing as you're in Australia. :cheesy: Just make a note that I love wallabies, k?

*making mental note to check postcard postage to Down Under*

ok....wallabies, sure thing :)

[JustJo]

Love this! :)

Scoote got her own card from little man....and then, yesterday when we got home from our overnight "take Rooster to the airport then go have adults only day at Disney" trip last night, we had more!

Two from Nina....mine was lovely (hugs) and Scoote's made me laugh...and then a beautiful one from "Diva's Road Trip" :cheesy:

This is so much more fun than bills in the mailbox!

Still crossing my fingers that you all get your Bahamas cards....the official Bahamas website said postcards can take 2 weeks...so we haven't given up hope yet.

Got Rivkeh's address, so I'll PM it out to all of you later today, and get a hardcopy of the full list in the mail to Rivkeh :)

[justkim]

I would like to play... if it isn't too late that is...

[Tcountry]

Never too late to join....
Sunshyne & I still have a trip to Mount Rushmore planned for nxt weekend.
We are loving sending them about as much as receiving them.

We get back home in a few hrs....can't wait check mail :)

[Fancy]

It's odd the places you find postcards...
I went out to a movie Saturday evening, and there were these cards on the counter about the movie. I remarked to my companion that they would make good postcards. I flipped the card over, and sure enough, it WAS a postcard. So, I stuffed several in my purse...here comes another batch!
:)

[WolfyOne]

Bahama cards in my mailbox today....yay!!!

Also, 3 cards from the Smokey Mtns and I just loved them

Lastly a Diva card from Sedona and she's not coming home, lol

Ya'll put a BIG smile on my face, thanks

Not sure when I'll be able to send another round, but I promise I will

Have 3 cards to send out to our last 3 added addys, just have to get to post office

[Chancie]

Do we just keep sending out cards?

I don't mind at all, and

I want to be a cooperative postcard palooza participant.

[JustJo]

I'm going with the "as much or as little as you like" approach. :)

[scootebaby]

Well as Jo said(she never lets me get a word in edgewise dammit) i got my Alamo card then when i arrived home yesterday "my pride and joy" was here--altho that dress totally was NOT my color(just sayin):)

its really awesome to find postcards in the mail! Glad to hear the Bahama ones are arriving! Cant wait for Tommi to get his--i did the best i could for ya bro!

[Fancy]

I couldn't agree more about the big smile... I, too opened my mailbox to discover three cards from the Smokies and one from Diva in Sedona. What beautiful cards!

So, inspired by the loot in my mailbox I promptly sat down and wrote out a batch of 12. I think there may only be one or two at this point who I haven't written cards out for.

I figured I'd wait a few weeks and then start another round of cards....

What fun!

[LaneyDoll]

Do we just keep sending out cards?

I plan to send out another batch, when I can go somewhere that I can actually buy some. I am supposed to head to Huntsville this weekend so I might stop at a few places on the way, see what is available.

I got 4 cards today and I am having a wonderful time with this :)

:sparklyheart:

[scootebaby]

oh yeah i forgot "WE" got a card from Ms Laney over the weekend too!

Jo has had to tell me to slow down bc EVERY time we go anywhere im looking at/for postcards now..lol

i wanna start getting different ones for everybody instead of 25 of the same one---but that means i gotta start paying closer attention and try to much personalities with cards!

[little man]

must be the bahama-rama today. i got two. yay me!

also, cards from south carolina and alabama.

thinking i need to get creative for the next round. (now all i need is some energy, too)

i have to admit...it's getting to where i'm kinda bummed if i don't find postcards waiting for me when i get home at the end of the day.

is there a time frame for the fun or is it a perpetual, ongoing kinda dealio?

[scootebaby]

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.

[JustJo]

is there a time frame for the fun or is it a perpetual, ongoing kinda dealio?

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

[WolfyOne]

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
