> [@The\_Butterfly\_s\_Ghost](#): > > Um, **romansperson**? Just checking if you got the rules right. It’s “three people, one card each” not “one person, three cards”. 😉 > > In addition to the cute Guglhupf card and the stunning b/w national park card… I now got a beautiful elephant from the North Carolina National Zoo. 🙂 > > Thank you very much! All of your cards have been thoughtful and funny and I so loved the suprise of getting bonus cards! 🙂 I’m just a rebel that way :). And thank you for the extra cool [bonus card](http://formes-berlin.de/en/about-us/) I found in the mail last night! It is in perfect condition and I can hardly wait to put it together. Amazing! ---

I got a beautiful wooden butterfly to assemble in a postcard from The Butterfly’s Ghost. Sadly, it didn’t arrive quite intact, but it’s still awesome! Thank you!! I’ve never seen anything quite like it! ---

As noted earlier, I’m out on a 6-week road trip (currently in Kentucky), so I won’t be able to acknowledge the cards for a while. Looking forward to seeing the postcards when I get back! ---

The rest of the exchange might be done, but I think **needscoffee** and I will be swapping Godzilla cards for a bit longer. 😃 ---

I’ve received all my cards, but I have three that are unacknowledged, two excused for traveling but one of my bonus cards seems to have gone missing. Or perhaps the address from years past is now out-of-date… ---

You are still missing a card though, I sent three to everyone, all at the same time. It always amazes me just how separated they can get. ---
