There is a special someone on this site that sends out postcards that are photographs he has taken...he attaches the original photo to a thick paper the size of a postcard...writes an incredible, loving message and then MAILS it to me. I have treasured these as if they were touchstones...well, yes, they are indeed my touchstones.

I love the idea of connecting this way. Jo, I have PM'd you my address and would like to be a part of this.

Great idea/thread!

I so agree! There is nothing that quite compares to the somewhat lost art of actual letters/postcards. Jo, I've PM'd my address and I'd love to be included. Thanks!!

hell she even buys dark chocolate so she dont have to share with me

now who is REALLY the one that needs pitied in this relationship?

She's making this up...except for the dark chocolate part. I buy that because I prefer it. *harrumph* She's always trying to get me in trouble.

I had this amazing Pelikan purple swirly fountain pen (with purple ink of course) and while I have several, it was my favorite. It was a gift from a dear friend.

It was stolen in January and I just can't seem to get used to my others.....I use them (because they're nothing like a fountain pen, IMO).

I love letter~writing.

Scoote...you can depend on a card sent out just for you !!

...all I am having a problem with is which one will appeal most to your sense of humor...it's fun trying to get it right!...safe travels to all of you...I know we'll all enjoy getting a look at the beauty of your vacation...

I hope to get all my cards out in the next few days.,.

cheers to you all!

Jo has been busy with work and organizing the addy list and making sure it gets out that she has not had time to go find postcards yet...i know how much she wants to send some from our area out so i am gonna take it upon myself to go find some tomorrow so we can get them out before our trip...then when we are in the Bahamas we may or may not look together...but either way we will be double tagging everyone in the next 2 weeks.

cant wait to start getting them in our mailbox--especially my vey own one
