Not necessarily. It can start small and people can be added in as it goes along but let's give it a couple of days to see if anyone else is interested (and to pass the word along to those you think might be interested). Then I'll collect the addresses and send the list out.
If someone is interested but isn't fully comfortable with their name and/or address being out there, they can use their screen name and I can be a go between if they trust me. They can send their cards to me and I'll send them out with my own, for example. |

We're making the assumption that those that sign up are committed and won't flake out. Once the list goes out, people are free to start sending cards out immediately or at their leisure. By putting a name on the list, you are promising to send a card out to/for every other person on the list. If someone only wants to send to certain people, that's not what this is for. This is an all inclusive project and is super fun. Getting random postcards in the mail is really nice and puts a pep in one's step. So far we have 8 participants. I feel that's enough to start so if folks want to start sending me their mailing addresses, I can start putting together the list and get it sent out as soon as I have all of them. If y'all want to wait until more sign up, that's fine too. |
Gemme (Wrangler)-I know where I live. Yay me!

I've just got one to go! Georgia and Lyte, got yours. For those who are making or ordering your postcards, I'd go ahead and start doing that. All I need is a yes or no from Besame and we're good to go. I know she's on vacation now and may not be checking online every day, so if anyone is in direct contact with her now, please give her a head's up. Thanks!

Done! .........

Okay, folks! I'll have the list to you tonight. Sorry, but I have to skidaddle to work soon. Get ready to share a tiny piece of yourself with your site mates! Snail mail is so fun....can't wait to begin receiving goodies. I have 10 participants including myself. Did I miss anyone?
Gemme (Wrangler) homoe Besame FireSignFemme Orema Zimmeh Clay candy_coated_bitch Lyte GeorgiaMa'am Those that requested some additional privacy will send your cards to me (make sure to note who is to get what card) and I'll send them through to the appropriate person. If we have latecomers, I can add them on to the list, if everyone's okay with that. |
To the folks that have participated in the penpal thread projects previously, there's no need to send money to me.
For those that are requesting additional privacy measures, send your postcards (with appropriate postage affixed) inside another envelope or package that you mail to me. When I get that envelope, I'll put the individual postcards in the mail. Just make sure that you make it obvious which card should go to whom. Who? Whom? Who knows? lol If you put their address on the card, that should be fine or if you want me to address the cards, I can do that. Just put sticky notes on the cards so I know where to send each one. Each person needs to make sure to have adequate postage on every card, especially if you are making yours and it may be larger than a standard postcard. I'm putting the finishing touches on the list...and waiting for a response to a question I should have asked someone before but forgot. You'll all have the list within the hour. Remember....no one gets to pick and choose who you send your cards to. This is all in or all out. I won't have anyone feeling bad because someone didn't send them anything. That's just crappy and I won't have it, I say! Also, don't feel bad if someone is shy and more private than some of the others. It's not personal. I take my privacy seriously, which is why I don't have a problem being a filter. The important thing is that we all signed up and we're all going to participate. Okay? Okay! |
Hold the presses...I lied. Accidentally. I'm calling it 'work brain'. I have a major inspection coming up on Tuesday and I'm preparing for it and just forgot about the round trip postage for some folks.
If I am receiving cards to mail out again for privacy reasons, please do make sure I have postage $ or send your card to me and for that person in a small envelope so I can open it and send out what needs to go out. Or I can tally it up at the end and someone can buy me a hamburger. Whatever works. I think that at least one card to each participant should go out by the middle of September. That's giving everyone ample time to make or order or go shop for the perfect cards and to get them out in the mail. If you want to do this again as it gets closer to the holidays, I see no reason why we can't just change the card type or still stick with postcards. If you want to mail more than one to everyone, you can certainly do that. I think that would be a fun surprise. Just remember that if it's connected to this project, if one person gets two, then everyone should get two. Fair's fair. |
