2011 Summer Postcard Exchange

:smiley:

I figured you’d post about that.

I got a card from Algher yesterday - I raise the martini flag right back!!

I found my postcards today and have filled them out, addressed them, and stamped them. Will drop them by the PO tomorrow :slight_smile:

Cards are addressed and filled out. Just need to pick up stamps and out they go.

Got my first card from Scareyfaerie - here’s a proof ya’ll aren’t just figments of my imagination or machine AIs that can pass a Turing test. :smiley:

Ok - where did y’all buy your postcards? I have looked in a bunch of places and not found any. I used to be part of these exchanges and it was easier then. i have checked:

the bookstore
the card stores in the mall
the grocery store
CVS
gas station

Where else do I look?

i got mine at Border’s but I had to ask. Some people have bought notecards and just torn off the back half. And some of the touristy type shops will always have them. And I think Walgreen’s and Rite Aid (drug stores) tend to have that. Not CVS though.

B&N did not have them, and I asked. The lady looked so crestfallen to say no, too. :slight_smile: I’ll try another drugstore tomorrow.

’Mika, all of mine for this round came from the local Naval Air Museum. Last year’s cards came from a rack in the gift shop of a state park I used to live near.

I try to find some that are representative of the area I’m in, and I look for them in the touristy or quirky locations.

All mine are coming from Las Vegas. I like to think of the Wynn as our “second home.” :smiley:

Got mine in the mail this morning, which is good, as the mailman just delivered two: from Elendil’s Heir and ScareyFaerie. The mails still work from England and Cleveland! Symmetry - the ones I got show where the senders make their money. The ones I sent show where I lose my money!

Got two postcards today!

A lightbulb from dbygawdcapn, and a cool F-22 Raptor from VunderBob!

Weird note: On the lightbulb postcard, the postage stamp wasn’t “stamped” with those wavy line thingies.

Also loved that the “Go Green” stamp was used on a postcard of an incandescent lightbulb!

VunderBob, how close are you to Frederick, MD? I have most of my family there (relocated from MA)

Mine are sent out today!

And I received a lovely card from ** labtrash**. Thanks!! I actually have family in the city depicted. :slight_smile:

Sent all of mine out today. It’s the first time I ever had to mail something to another country, how exciting! :slight_smile:

Also, got one from Elendil’s Heir today. Thanks!

Lexington Park is 120 miles south of Frederick, with DC smack in the middle.

I received a postcard from **Elendil’s Heir **today - and now I know where he works and will stalk him! What he’s doing on the roof of a building I’ll never understand though. EH - are you the Batman?

I also got a postcard from my godson - which cracked me up.

I’m not prepared to discuss that.

I got Ms Robyn’s lovely card of Pennsylvania. Who needs Google Maps when you have this nice layout? My wife has a trip to Penn State for research, I will just loan it to her for her drive.

Just an FYI to all - I am taking off for some much needed vacation starting before the mail arrives on Friday, so any card arrival announcements, etc. will have to wait until the 19th.

I put mine in the mailbox this morning and got a card from Algher on Monday. The postie should be here to get them in an hour.

Wahoo! I am 3 for 3! Lets hear it for the USPS!

I got my freakin postcards. :slight_smile: I was really hoping for Capital District postcards but I kid you not, not one of the museums around here have postcards, and I e-mailed them all. Ah, I tell you, kids these days - snail mail is going the way of the dodo. I shall fight it!

Anyway my first round of postcards is going to be rather plain. However, I found ONE place that sells postcards so I ordered from them and they should be here for the next round.

However, this round is in the mail!

I actually got mine a couple days ago - I love the postcard! Thanks!

I gave up looking for postcards and ended up with some cute notecards. I hate that and will keep looking, but I was afraid that I would put it off and never get around to it!
