I’ve received all three of mine as well! I have the ones from Emily Litella and Algher in front of me, and I can’t for the life of me find the one I got first, but it was a cool vintage one. ---

I will re-check my chart when I get to work - there are some people that have mentioned receiving postcards from a place, not a person - so I’ve had to cross-check those. Forgive me if my understanding is wrong. It gets a mite confusing to sort through 117 postcard assignments! :o ---

Okay - I redid my chart last night since obviously turning forty in april has my ability to read highlighted charts less than accurate. :smack: Thank Og for Excel! Now if I could only embed an excel chart here for easier reading . . . So, dear participants, if you want to see if your postcards have been recieved, please look for your name in the left column, the person reporting as received in the middle, and the post # where they reported it on the right. Hope that helps! 😃 **Sender Recipient Post #** Algher HowieReynolds 130 Algher Labtrash 161 Algher Skara Brae 165 Annie-Xmas Smaje1 147 Annie-Xmas Labtrash 161 Anya Marie Meenie7 121 Butterscotch Meenie7 166 Butterscotch Nayna email CherryBlossomGirl Melodyharmonius 123 CherryBlossomGirl HowieReynolds 130 Chromaticity Nayna email dbygawdcapn Noone Special 153 dbygawdcapn TheTerribleTako 157 dbygawdcapn Nayna email dhkendall Annie-Xmas 140 dhkendall Faithfool 154 Elendil’s Heir VunderBob 134 Elendil’s Heir The Blue-Sighted Shadow 164 Emily Litella ScareyFaerie 131 Emily Litella Skara Brae 165 Faithfool Smaje1 100 Faithfool FloatyGimpy 114 Faithfool Skara Brae 165 Fish Cheer Emily Litella 127 Fish Cheer Smaje1 147 Floatygimpy Gardentraveler 93 Floatygimpy Anya Marie 116 Gardentraveler Svejk 135 gwendee The Blue-Sighted Shadow 164 HowieReynolds TheTerribleTako 129 HowieReynolds VunderBob 134 Noone Special Chromaticity 112 Noone Special Melodyharmonius 137 ScareyFaerie Ellen Cherry 97 ScareyFaerie Noone Special 153 ScareyFaerie Labtrash 161 Skara Brae Emily Litella 136 Skara Brae Annie-Xmas 140 smaje1 Faithfool 124 smaje1 Anya Marie 168 The Blue-Sighted Shadow Gardentraveler 89 The Blue-Sighted Shadow Butterscotch 104 The Blue-Sighted Shadow Dbygawdcapn 122 TheTerribleTako Elendil’s Heir 139 VunderBob CherryBlossomGirl 132 VunderBob Ellen Cherry 143 ---

Hi, all, I sent all three postcards on 2/22, and all were international, so probably have not yet been received. I have received all three of my postcards - from **Chromaticity** (love the bean!), **Butterscotch** , and **DBYGAWDCAPN**. I love them all, and all three put my own to shame. I’ll do a better job of being charming and entertaining in the space alloted on a postcard next time! My name is not listed in #172, but would like to be in Round 2. Thanks again, **melodyharmonius**! ---

As to how long it’s going to go, I was going to leave it up to interest. Maybe 3 or 4 rounds. I figure the first round is weeding out the people who signed up and then didn’t follow through for whatever reason. I expect round 2 to be a smaller, more dedicated group. ---
