Sounds like fun!

As London has been taken already, I’ll send one from Amsterdam NL and Tulsa Oklahoma. 🙂 Nothing like a bit of variety!

Will email you in a bit.

Honestly, it doesn’t matter if we have multiples from any city. We just want to get a bunch of postcards coming her way.

She got a couple of ecards today - the other girls are giggling like idiots because the poor “victim” hasn’t a clue. She’s going to flip as the postcards come in. I may have to install a remote cam by her mailbox to catch her reaction! 😃

Ah, my merry pranksters! This is such fun! My daughter is thrilled with the response so far. Can’t wait till we can get the .jpg together and get this underway.

I would help, but I don’t have a printer. If there is still something I can do, let me know…

I suppose I should have thought of this - for those like **Bear** who can’t print out the logo, you can send me your address and I can send you a sticker with the logo to put on your postcard. I wouldn’t want anyone to miss out for lack of hardware!

Oooooh, if someone can mail me the jpg sticker, I could put it on a post card.

I am always up for a good prank. Expect an email from Santa Barbara.

Can’t believe I missed this post! You’re right - that would be hilarious. If you don’t mind, I’ll steal that idea and save it for some future pranking, perhaps. That’s not to say a person couldn’t do that now, but it’s not necessary.

Should we all sign the same name, in spirit of the “Don & Char” pranksters from above?

That would be funny, maybe an obscure literary reference like,  
“Love Ford and Arthur” ok, that’d be gay, but you get the idea.

My daughter and her friend are going to let me know how they want the cards addressed and signed, so when I do the followup email to everyone, that information will be included. The only absolute rule is that no one says anything that would lead the victim to this site or that would in any way connect this conspiracy to me. The mystery must remain!!!

We’re up to 27 co-conspirators. When the morning folks drag in tomorrow, I wonder if we’ll approach 100? That would be terrific!

muahahahahahaha!

Just to let everyone know - I’m just cutting and pasting my original email, so where it says something about talking to the girl’s mother, well, that’s already done. I’m just too, um, busy to edit what I’m sending… woe is me! I’m so busy…

Oh yeah - 29!

I just saw the stamp/logo - quite cute on the screen. Gotta see how it does printed out.

This is just too much fun. Do I need a life that badly?!? \* \<sigh\>\*
