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.

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

hmm good idea....... but umm...... Mr Leonard is there.. i posted hym there so's hy is the 1st thing i see when i wake up in the morning .. :) but i may have to move hym and other pics soon.

i maybe getting a different truck soon anyways.... :) with a bigger sleeper , cuz im taking on a team driver soon .. yayy.. hope i know what im doing with this idea.. as i am use to being alone , driving solo.. but i need to make more $$ somehow.

Christmas card list.......... I will be using this post card adress list i have. unles someones moving. let me know. :)

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?

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.

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.... :)

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. thought folks might be interested. or not. :)

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?

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?????????????????

Thanks buns and bunches
 

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.

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!

Couldn't of happened on a better day...
 

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!

little man hit the nail on the head with this one!
 

So far, so good. :)

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:

Jo wont give me the list of addresses so as she said---so far so good!



:D

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

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