i'm in. any particular theme suggestions?

Well, Wil she's grown a bit since you saw her last. Although she's still super girly and loves music, reading, and things like faeries and butterflies. :) She's this interesting mix of strong-willed social justice minded pre-teen and foo-foo.

Thanks Wil!

Oh, I almost forgot: he bday party theme is under the ocean, and I have strict instructions NOT to include the little mermaid. Ha.

guess i'm gonna have to get creative, huh?

thinking maybe a series of postcards that make a larger image if put together? that sound like something she'd like? kind of an easy puzzle.

You are creative! That sounds super cool :)

im not competitive..im an instigator,troublemaker,smartass!:)

we got 2 more cards--1 which tied Jo with me again dammit--but i aint mad(not too much) and im STILL gonna send her daughter a birthday one :cheesy:
(that would be Fancy that sent one JUST to jo--just bc JUST is in her screenname doesnt mean things have to be JUSt to her)

the other from SocialJustice---and i have to agree--u DOTN knwo til u get to know them :)

holy hell someone hacked my spell checker it looks like up there !

good thing everyone can read scootenese :cheesy:

i forgot to mention the card i got...a lovely montage of the ever popular Manor, TX. thanks gemme! i did not know "what's eating gilbert grape" was filmed around here. i'm particularly taken with the water tower shot.

also, social justice....i love edward hopper. his seaside paintings are such a contrast to the urban stuff. it was nice to meet you while you were here. you have to come back when the weather is a little less hellish, yes?

Geez. Poke me in the eye. :)
Next time I'll draw a rip line down the center of the postcard and y'all can only look at your half...no crossing the line.

its just my way of making sure ppl are paying attention! :)


we got a coool postcard from Nebraska today....Jo loves tree pics so im sure she really liked it....cant wait to get a card from SD(hint hint) :)

Fancy, it was just a lil jab--hope it didnt hurt too much :lol2:

Hey, does anyone have an up-to-date, absolute latest postcard mailing list? I inadvertently deleted my copy of it. I would appreciate it if someone could email it to me? Just message me and I will provide my email address.

Thanks so much!



:sparklyheart:

Thankyou Jo, I got my list today!
Riv

I will be in New Orleans, La Monday and Tuesday, if anyone is interested in receiving a postcard! Let me know!

uh Holly...i am ALWAYS up for postcardsz from anywhere :cheesy: we got like 4 today--well 2 was from same person,1 for me 1 for Jo.....totally loving this thingy!

I am gonna have to go out and get another round to send off...think ill take the time and get everyone a different one this time! im not gonna try to match personalities bc i dont pay a lot of attention so keep that in mind should u get something thats totally off the wall :)

I was finally at my home base post office yesterday...I've been to the post office since the last time I was at that one...I always am mailing packages!

I got some lovely, personalized and sweet post cards....and I got a, sort of, insulting and mean-spirited item as well....the post cards made me smile, and feel good, and excited to have been able to encounter folks from all over, most of whom I will never meet, all of whom are sharing a good part of themselves with strangers...

I could go on about the specifics of the cards, I am more immersed (at the moment) with the thoughts of how we are managing to see and act with each other in such a personalized way...how when I write a note I try to make it To the person I'm sending the card...to remember or pay attention or care enough to let them know I have been reading them and they are Real to me...and when I get cards and read something that lets me know I was thought of when it was written it makes me feel that the other crap which can happen in a space like this is really just-- crap...that this is what matters and that this is what defines a diverse community...

goodness...I am in a mood, I guess...the thing is that I mean it, that I am excited to try and find cards that fit people...cards I hope will represent me being able to say 'hi' in a way that tells you I get to know you, just a little, by what you post and by your sweet little post card messages....and, most importantly, that as I try and do my best, be best to the 'strangers' I """meet""" through this site, you are doing the same...it is good, and generous of spirit and I do thank you for it...thanks to Jo for thinking of, starting, and facilitating this all...it's nice to have a free form way to be in touch and to send little surprises to each other...

it was nice for me to have a tangible experience of people being kind and nice to each other contrasted with people who are not...I am so happy that, 98% of the interactions in my life are basically good...with the other 2%, I can and do get rid of 1% of the nastiness which leaves my brother---but we all have one of those, in one form or another, I think :)

somehow this has become the nina-confessional thread...I could delete it or edit it or something of the kind...thing is that I kind of think of all you postcard peeps as folks I (again kind of) know and I feel like talking to you this morning :)

thanks again, no--really Thanks for your time, and thought, and effort and desire to make strangers smile...I hope as you get back the little pieces of art work we are all sharing with each other, it gives you a moment to appreciate the surprises the planet has offered us...

okay, I will shut up and promise not to do this again!

The little kid in me likes puzzles
If only my cats didn't want to be so helpful,
I could put one on the kitchen table and go back to it.....without wondering if a few pieces are missing

ive been lazy *hanging head in mock shame* i got this really cool "copper" card from SD 2 days ago...my "special" kitty liked it so much she was trying to eat it when we came home tonight! i told her she couldnt bc as long as i have a real copper card i will never be broke! :cheesy:

i have been lazy--well not feeling real good last few days-but my end of the weekend i will have more cards ready to be addressed and sent out....especially to Katie :)

Me too, except that I had 2 cards-and no bills!!! I have all of my postcards on my kitchen counter as I try to figure the best way to store them. Am thinking of a 4 x 6 photo album.
:sparklyheart:

Nah! Its the thought that counts I think...I love getting mail :)

I have been lax...sorry...I hope, this weekend after the pictures are taken for my show applications and they are sent in, I will ready more cards to send out...I have little excuse as I purchased my 3rd sheet of postcard stamps already :)

I hope you're all having a peaceful and healthy summer...as well as moments of joy and shared love...

all the best,

Nina

I have received some amazing postcards so far. Thank you! Tomorrow I will finally be able to get to the post office and buy some postcard stamps so I can send my first 5 out. Yippee! :)
