2011 Summer Postcard Exchange

I got a card from 'Mika!

As of this post, 30 postcards have been accounted for!

This represents 14 unique senders, and 17 unique recipients.

If I could figure out how to embed a table, I would show you who has received what from who. I grid it all out.

Postcards sent! In defiance of the partial postal strike… who knows if and when they will get to their recipients. It might be like the time my mom went to Margarita Island and sent me a postcard back and she got home three months before the postcard did…

When I went on vacation, i bought a bunch of postcards then and if i go out of town or anyplace that sells postcards like the museum, i try to pick some up, so have many different cards.

I had 3 postcards left over from last time - just enough to get through this round. But I did see more at Borders, so I’ll picking some up tomorrow when I swing by there.

I got a bonus postcard from needscoffee yesterday. Beautiful pic of Seattle!

I got my postnote from Shellibean! Thanks! Mail is always exciting.

I got mine from Time Stranger (at least that’s who I think it was from; your name was a bit obliterated - cool card!

Mine are FINALLY acquired and going out at the last possible moment - sorry for the delay.

Still only have my one from Algher, bless him.

I received my 3rd postcard, from Melody. It made me hungry for some tar heel pie! Thank you!

Well, Canada Post is totally locked out, so nothing’s going anywhere. Sorry about that. Your postcards are… somewhere. :frowning:

Got my second postcard from anaamika, thanks! :slight_smile:

Received my postcard from Arrogance ex Machina

I gave mine to a friend to mail out as I was off on work-related travel - will be checking with him tonight if they went out on time

Three postcards sent but none received. Royal Mail clearly doesn’t love me…

:taps foot more impatiently than Elendil’s Heir:

Sent three today! None received so far.

I have still only gotten my two and am anxiously awaiting my third! Here’s hoping it’s not coming from Canuckistan…that would be really really silly, too, as Canada really isn’t far from me at all.

FINALLY sent my three this afternoon. Actually handed them to the clerk at the post office because I had to buy stamps. 2 of the 3 will get there by Saturday, I hope. 4th one is going…out of the country…but I’d think it could be there Monday or Tuesday.

Unless it is headed to the Great White North, in which case you are looking at July.

So - last week, a postcard arrived from Arrogance ex machina, bravely slipping its way through the rotating postal strike here in Canada. Lovely shot of a fellow in a dory on a Finnish lake, looking at the sunset - thanks!

I’ve put my three in the post box on a street corner, but no idea when anyone will be by to pick them up. Canada Post has responded to the rotating strikes by a cross-Canada lockout, which means that ShelliBean, Anya marie & Tapioca dextrin may be waiting a while …

at least I won’t have Elendil’s Heir glaring at me with his gimlet eyes and tapping foot.

Nope, I’m safe from that for now. It’s headed across an ocean.

Another day without a Doper postcard. Le sigh.
