Got my card from Tapioca Dextrin . I’m embarrassed to say I wasn’t even sure where the Falkland Islands were, so I had to do a little reading on Wikipedia. But now I’m much smarter!
(Do they really not have any trees there? That seems odd to me…)
Oh, and sign me up for Round 2!
Time_Stranger:
Just a general question, but do you like receiving photographs of the sender’s location as postcards better than just random art cards? I send a lot of postcards on another site too, and I always wonder if I’m being annoying by not sending location pictures.
I think as long as it’s interesting to you, it’s interesting to us. I like location cards, but I also like cute cards. I just like mail that doesn’t say “you owe us money, pay up!!”
That would be nice! As of yesterday, still just two postcards received here.

Seconded.
At least we got past that “only one” hurdle. That was really bothering me.
Interesting factoid: Of the 21 postcards that are still unaccounted for, 19 of them are directly impacted by the Canadian Postal strike . . .
However, all 21 postcards had to cross international lines.
Whee! Just got my 3rd card from FloatyGimpy !

I hope people don’t mind, but given that the Canadian mail has now been released back in to the wild, I’d like to wait until Tuesday, July 5th to send out the Round 2 assignments. This will give some of these cards a chance to reach their intended destinations and be accounted for.
Note that there are two national holidays before July 5: July 1 here, and July 4 there. Plus, we don’t have Saturday delivery - do you guys down south get the post on Saturday?
I think waiting till the 5th makes sense, especially given the holidays.
NP - In the U.S. we still have Saturday delivery although they keep talking about discontinuing it.
I’m also of the “I enjoy any kind of postcard” school of thought.
And, I’ve PM’d my info for round 2.
Yay!
Yay! I got post cards! Two postcards!
From Anaamika and dbygawdcapn. Thank you!

My cheat is that when I find a card I like, I just buy 3 of them and send all 3 when I hit a round.
That said, I might have to make some photo cards for a future round!
Still no third postcard here. Damn those Canadian postal carriers, eh?
I received my third postcard today from FloatyGimpy …it’s almost as if the greenery is photoshopped in given that it goes right up the officeblocks
I think that’s my third one successfully received! YAY!
Now I just want my own third one to show up!
I’ve only received one card from round one, but right now I am in the UK, so the other 2 may be sitting in my post box if they aren’t in Canada!!
I know the third one I sent out was going to: someone in Canada who was moving. We may never know what happened to that one.
Just so everyone understands - if at least 1 of your postcards are reported received, I’m going on good faith that the other 2 are on their way. But if none of them get reported, that’s when I have to think about eliminating you.

Just from the postcard exchange, right?
Nope. Our melody is strict .
