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

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!

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!

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:

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!

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?

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.

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

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

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

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

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

:sparklyheart:

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

two more in the box for me today!

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

starting to feel like a regular art collector

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Nina~ Not just 1 pair of lips....FOUR!!!!!! :|

we got postcards today for T & Sunshyne which put me 1 ahead of Jo(for the moment) we wont discuss it much tho bc she has some kinda serious competitiveness in her,and i'm kinda scared to sleep with both eyes closed tonight :|

totally digging the eyes--even the prince thought they were cool!

love the missions too---would love to see those up close someday.

and the cupcakes made me by ding dongs today!

...and she calls me competitive :|

:cheesy:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

A beautiful azalea postcard from Laney!!

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

Thanks all! LOVE them!!!!

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

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

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

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