Then each of us could mail out our postcards on our own. What do you prefer?

Yes. This is what I was thinking-- Corkey PM'd me and explained it to me and I suggested this-- so would this be okay with everyone else?

Deadlines: Oct. 21 for sign up November 4 for Postcards in mail

How does that sound?

[QUOTE=Corkey;675578][QUOTE=ahk;675576]HI.

Here I am-- thanks to Peach for giving me an heads up that folks are interested. So who would be interested in a small post card exchange. The one I was thinking about would be: Your World. You take a photograph of "your world" (could be your living room, your work space, your car, your family -- anything that you feel is part of you) and send it to each one who ever is joining.

The last one I did, I took several different pics, wrote on the back of what I was taking a pic of, and who I was, and sent them out randomly. If you use a reg size photo (4x6) all you would need is a postcard stamp --- (.32).

So how does that sound? Sound like your cup of tea? or glass of wine-- If so-- lets do it!!

(PS. -- How do you all do this (as a host or getting them sent out or getting each others addresses etc)

I am being a complete klutz trying to add myself to the list.

[ahk]

Everyone on the list-- could you please send me your address & email addresses. If you already have, thank you.

What I was thinking is to get all your addresses together, and then send out a huge list of details. When done with postcards, just put a .32 stamp (unless you live outside of US) and place in mailbox. Since its a small project, I didn't see a reason to do a huge pile at a time. Hope everyone is in agreeance. <--- is that even a word??!!??

Yay for all people who have signed up so far---

[Gemme]

Oooooh!

I haz mail!!!!

I it all!!!!

Laruss, how cool is that??? You actually chose my fave color too.

Tommi, as always, your stuff makes me squeal. Love it!

Cara, those are the cutest bead-dobbies in the world. I love the colors, too.

Sherrie, I didn't even THINK of doing that. Excellent and tre cute.

Jennifer, SOMEONE is sending me sugar. So sweet! So sweet! For the wrist and the belly. I wonder who????

I want to ask about a particular piece but I don't want to spoil it for the others. If you participated and I didn't mention your name, then I am talking to YOU. I am sooo not going to use that for the purpose in which you intended. Oh, no. That's far too lovely. I'm going to prop it up near my computer and stare at it on a daily basis. Lovely!

[Gemme]

I think it was Ami's project I didn't have a name for. Fantastic job!

[cara]

I haz mail, too! I think that's the speediest I've ever gotten a package.

everyone did such wonderfully fun projects! thank you all so much!

I don't want to possibly spoil any surprises, so I'll withhold comments til we hear back from everyone.

Thanks for wrangling, Jennifer!

p.s. I hand-twisted each and every one of those bead-dobbies, Gemmie. I had a thumb cramp for days! lol.

[nycfem]

I'm in agreeance, and I think you have all my info

BUMP - Sign up in progress below

I'm recently arrived here to Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, finally getting my 'groove' on, and wondering how I could participate in an exchange. When I lived in China a few years back I was part of an altoid tin exchange where we sent a tin only to the person next on the list. With postage so costly, this would probably be the type of group activity that would work best for me. Otherwise, I would love to correspond snail-mail with a few of you and/or reconnect with a couple of you that I did snail-mail with in the past. I'm open to possibilities. Of course, I have to first figure out where the post office is! lolol By the way, today is Vietam's Womens Day - the street vendors are out in droves selling baskets of gorgeous roses primped up with ribbons and bows. I find it quite delightful. Hope to hear from some of you soon!

Hey all-- I had a family emergency and I was wondering if we could bump this back 1 more week-- I also have finals this week, with juggling folks, school, rotations --

Would everyone mind if we get this all out by the 28th? I am still needing addresses/address from deb0670 -- could you please send me your address and email, thanks.

a.

[Gemme]

I'm fine with it.

[Tommi]

Thank You, Thank You.

I am enjoying all of the wonderful things I received in the last Project.

Writing with my pen, wearing great neck pieces, and reading my book marked in place, twirling the black N white wrist bracelt, taking my Steelers keys as I run out the door to catch the game.

Som, again thanks for it being fun and full of good stuff that will last longer than a Marshmallow ghost
