I like reading about and seeing pictures of all the places we all come from...why don't we do some kind of postcard swap? We could be assigned a couple of names and send postcards from where we live with some interesting facts about our town/city/state etc...might be learning experience for us all and a great way to feel like we have a "postcard" pal...what do you think?:D

I am ready for this one!! I was cleaning off my couch..don't ask... and found some postcards just a few minutes ago, so I'm set to go!

Yeah this would be fun! I love postcards.

What a great idea!! Count me in!!:D

Good idea Teresa, it sound like fun!

This does sound like a great idea!! I'll do it!

Me too! Me too! I just love these swaps! I have to go get some post cards though.

When can we start and how we would do this?

Count me in, too. I love postcards. The girls collect them.

Count me in on this one too.

It should be fun!!

Oh me too - I think it's a great idea :D

I am not sure how we should do it? Any suggestions? If all who want to be involved post their names and state (or city)by March 10th (just a date I threw out there)...I will assign postcard swap pals...??? Then you have 2 weeks to send it out? Does this sound good? Please, if you have any other ideas...let me know...and Sara, lol, is this okay? Thanks

babynurse
of course it's ok.

Count me in too, great idea, sounds like fun!! :smball:

MEEE!!! Angie in North Carolina

Theresa, I think rather than posting our cities, maybe we should post our names and then you can assign who we swap with and we can give our addresses through pm to those members. Does that sound okay.

I know there are many of us who would rather not post our city/town we live in.

This sounds like fun.

Also, I have a question. Can we send any type of postcards, along with our city/town post cards.

Robin, California girl! This sounds fun and frugal, I love gettting mail.

this sounds like a lot of fun! I am in if i am not too late.

CJ,
No problem, nobody has to post their location if they don't want to...and any type of postcard is fine....so then, I will assign postcard pals on March 10th to give enough people time to sign up if they want to....
This should be fun! I love postcards.....aaah the weather is here...wish you were beautiful (LoL);)

Count me in too.

Count me in too. I hope I can find a post card of my town, it's a smudge on the map. ;)

Darn it, LOL!!!! I meant to pick up a post card for this today and forgot it!!!! Ah, Well, I will pick one up tomorrow then. I am excited about this, I can't wait... hmmm, i need to pick up stamps too while I am out.

Melissa from Colorado

Me Too Please:) Gail from Ohio

I have a question...I am trying to pair up people.. do I assign two different groups or just partners and they send a postcard to each other? I am thinking for simplicity, the pair sends a postcard to each other....

Theresa, I like how Sara did it for the kitchen swap, by pairing two people up.

Once everyone has gotten their postcards, then you can do another one and pair up different people.

Just a thought!!

Thanks! That's what I'll do then!

Here are the pairs so far....and those who join I will pair up:

Ty's Mamaw---Prairie Rose

Babynurse-Heavensent_7

Homestead Mamma--Halo475

Ellise--Calico

Mrsengeseth--Mustang 80

Karlisangel--Lucy 979

Daphne----Mrscornbread

Voodidit---dzblondegirl


Have fun! Remember try to have them out by March 15th.....

I can't wait to do this and send mine out!! :D Do we just exchange addresses between each other? Is there a limit to how many postcards to send out...just 1 for now? Thanks!

I just pm'ed my postcard "buddy" with my address, I hope that I am doing this right...we swap our addresses and then mail postcards to each other, correct?

I have a question too. How many postcards do we send to our partner?

I have a question too. How many postcards do we send to our partner?

I was wondering this myself....

hi, sorry I didn't get back right away...I think we should just send one postcard....then we can decide whether we would like to do it again but with different people....and yes..just pm your postcard pal for their address.....how does this sound? I think this will be fun!

I am so excited about this swap. I will have it in the mail in the next day or so! thanks babynurse for starting this!

when we receive the post cards do we post info we learn about our post card buddy's state/city/etc? or will we later be paired up with someone else? :)

Melissa, I didn't forget you! I'm going to find some postcards today if it kills me! lol I haven't been out, the kids have been sick. I know you're looking forward to a card from New Jersey, lol. :laugh:

I just saw this today!!!! I will get my postcards mailed as soon as I can but first I need to pm my partner about an address I don't think she know what's going on either since she hasn't pmed me about my addy either.

LOL, Danielle! I didn't mean to get pushy about the postcard! LOL, I just wondered what we do after we receive them. :) I have had sick kiddies lately too, so I understand.

I mailed out my postcards today!!!!:D

My postcard went out a couple of days ago Bev...be on the lookout!:D

Calico,
The post card is just LOVELY!!!! Oh how I wish I could be there in person to see this town.

Oh Daphne! I have not forgotten about you!!! I usually buy hy hometown postcards at one of my Ralph's stores, They are remodel;ing and dont have them back out yet. I will look around this weekend!!!

I was wondering how the swap is going so far? Are we gonna do it again? ( I have a post card just itchin to get mailed out :D ) What kind of cards did everyone get? Would love to hear updates. :)

Me too!

Bev....I got my postcard...I would love to go to London someday! Thanks! BTW, your handwriting is so lovely! Did you get mine? How is everybody else doing with their postcards??

I got mine (3) and they were wonderful to get. I'm still trying to find post cards to send out. I'm going into the city tomorrow, so they'll be in the mail Sat.

I'd love to do this again too. (I'm going to make sure I purchase a few extra post cards.)

sign me up too!

Sorry Theresa I've only just seen this again!

I got your postcard it was beautiful - Thank you so much.

I would love to keep doing it - I think it's a great idea.

Count me in when we do this again!! It's fun!!!

Babynurse, did you want to organise this again? I can't wait to do it again. :D

Hey...SURE, I got another postcard ready! Sign up again here....that would like to do it...and we will have NEW postcard buddies! We can shoot for the first week of May?

All interested say AYE!:D

Aye!!! I want to sign up again

:) Not sure if I can participate (since I am new), but I would love to!
I have a ton of postcards begging to be sent.
Please count me in, if you can.;)

This swap has been finished for quite some time.

We do have a March swap going on, however you must have at least 25 posts to take part.

Count me in, I will have to get some postcards but this sounds like fun!
