I forgot to post that I sent my three postcards out on Friday, March 12. Today I received two! One from \*\*Emily Litella \*\*- I grew up in New Jersey and love the postcard! And one from **needscoffee**. Seattle is on my list of must-visit cities. I’m a bit closer to Philly than to Chicago, but not as much closer as you’d think - Pennsylvania is a looooong state! Thanks, all. I love this! ---

Received a well-colored card from **Nayna** in Sewickley 🙂 Yay!! It came with my 2010 Census - so I gazed longlingly at the pituresque card while filling out my 10 questions. ---

Wowsers! In the mailbox today is a card that has travelled about 17056km, in less than 4 days, to verify that Birmingham (UK) has more going for it than just industry and Aston Villa! Thank you \*\*ScareyFaerie \*\*. ---

I got a very nice homemade card yesterday from **Waxwinged** , but I don’t know if it’s from part 1 or 2. I’ll be addressing mine tonight, BTW. ---

My bf just confirmed that my postcards were mailed out today! (Conveniently, he works next to the post office). I wanted to make sure I was fully moved before I wrote the postcards. Knowing my luck, I would’ve accidentally packed them!! ---

> [@FloatyGimpy](#): > > Are we going to have a part 3? I think we should keep doing it till everybody has send a card to everybody else on the list. 🙂 I’ve actually already received 2 sign ups for Round 3. And i have to admit - I’m happy with how quickly people seem to be receiving cards already - so I’m going to say - yes, we’ll have a Round 3. Same rules for sign-ups. No signing up for Round 3 until you’ve mailed your postcards from Round 2 (Remember - you must mail Round 2 by March 20th!) Deadline for signing up for Round 3 will be by \*\*Saturday, April 2nd \*\*(that will give 2 weeks for your postcards to arrive and be verified.) And just because I know it will be asked: If you were in Round 1 but skipped Round 2 - yes, you can still participate in Round 3 (as long as it is verified that you mailed your cards in Round 1 and people got them). ---

I had a very nice skyline shot of Seattle from **NeedsCoffee** waiting on my desk when I got home from Cubeville today. I’ll probably pass on round 3, but that’s not yet official. ---
