I’ve received all 3 of my cards.

@gardentraveler

Pssst… Didn’t spell your name correctly - sorry. But thanks again!

Unless I’ve missed it, I’ve only seen confirmation that Švejk received mine.

I’ve received the one from FloatyGimpy and one from Blue-Sighted Shadow.

This is lots of fun…

D’oh! Ok I’ve received two confirmations.

@Fish_Cheer

You’re welcome. Not too different from your neck of the woods, is it?

True that! For the next round of postcards I send out, I’ll have to get some awesome local Seattle ones.

PS… I loved the map you drew on the post card.

[The_Blue-Sighted_Shadow]

I just dug mine out from a mountain of mail. I’ve received cards from **Elendil’s Heir **and gwendee.

[Skara_Brae]

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 got a postcard from Rome, from Butterscotch Thanks for the pretty card, and good luck with the unusual snow.

Now I just have one more to recieve.

I hope people have gotten mine, or will soon.

[scareyfaerie]

Just to keep you updated, all three cards I sent out have arrived with their recipients but so far I have only received one card (from Emily Litella.

[anya_marie]

I got a card from Smaje1 Monday

… it’s not a blizzard so much as it’s snow that keeps inviting more and more of it’s idiot friends to hang out… i hate snow.

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

[melodyharmonius]

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!

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!

[Ellen_Cherry]

Nobody’s gotten mine yet? I mailed them early last week.

Thanks to everyone who participated - this has been fun!

Nayna - I’ve added you on my spreadsheet - you’ll appear on the next update

Well, I haven’t said yes, but I haven’t said no either. Was hoping to see what kind of postcards I’d get first and work from there. Still nothing recieved (barring anything in today’s mail that I won’t see until i get home later this afternoon) I would like to participate thoguh, i just haven’t formally given my “yes” yet.

(How many rounds is this going anyways?)

ah, sorry - my bad. let me know, either way.

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.

[gardentraveler]

I got my 3rd postcard today! Lovely picture of Jaffa from Noone Special. Thanks, SO!

[Labtrash]

@melodyharmonius

Please make sure to list your postcards here! I’m tracking who has sent and who has received - I want to make sure that we only keep active participants in the Postcard exchange. It’s not fair if people mail them and don’t get any - and there’s a lot of folks not heard from.

**Labtrash **- just post back once you’ve actually mailed - thanks!

Posted today, with sincere apologies to An Gadai, madrabbitwoman, and Fish Cheer

[Algher]

I got tears in my ears from lying on my back crying over no postcards received.
