This is a little more loosey goosey than the penpal thread with timelines and the like. Once we all decide we're good with the list, I'll collect addresses and send them out to each participant (for those who wish to remain incognito, folks can send their postcards to me and I'll pass them on and I'll send theirs out to everyone else as well). From that point on, people typically send your cards out in batches. As homoe said, we've missed a lot of the vacationing but that doesn't mean you can't send out cool or quirky or unique cards in addition to, or instead of, standard vacation postcards.

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.
