The Great SDMB Winter 2014 Postcard Exchange!

Wow - just got two postcards from Algher, of an old-fashioned fountain in Orange, Pa., and road barriers (?). Thanks!

**Baker’s **collection of cards arrived today. The scenes of rolling plains and wildflowers are lovely. As is your dog.

And Baker, you asked about my recent musical exploits. I didn’t do much singing last year because I was rather unwell, but I got back into it in December for the usual performances of Messiah. We’ve also just been doing some gigs in the Sydney Festival (held in summer each year). I’m skipping the next lot of performances because I’m fleeing the heat of Sydney for a taste of northern hemisphere weather. I’m really looking forward to some sub-zero temperatures, ice and snow.

I don’t even hand-write my grocery list anymore. I do hand-write 1 check a month. Mine is generally bad, but I focused hard on trying to make the postcards legible. I hope I managed it!

Yes, Butterfly’s Ghost was very much on the ball for this one. Mine was waiting for me last night. :slight_smile: It featured an animated mouse that has been popular for decades, and a lovely message for me. What a nice little treat!

Still waiting on my third card. Remember, all cards are due in the mail by Tues.!

Seriously? $1.15 for a postcard out of the US to another country?
Then mine aren’t going to make it :frowning: I’ll get some new ones and send them out right away - it’ll be tomorrow though since this is Sunday. Dangit :frowning:

All postcards should be in the mail by tomorrow. Thanks!

Just got my first one from Lsura. Beautiful (no longer icy) Atlanta.

Hurrah! Gorgeous Art Deco ladies from purplehorsehoe in the mail for me today. Thanks! :smiley:

Sorry for the delay, folks. Dropping mine off tomorrow morning! Have not received any yet. Can’t wait, though! :slight_smile:

I have been receiving cards, but will not be sending mine until tomorrow. Sorry!

Got a cute one from grrlbrarian – a picture of one of those creepy yet uber-perky 50s housewives with the caption “make your own damn dinner” and a cheerful note with an admonition to give my kittehs an extra snuggle on her behalf. (Done!)

Oddly, the post office didn’t give me a cool round stamp for the international card … Just a boring printout sticker. Boo. :frowning:

Mine went in on Saturday. Just waiting something from minionkat.

I’ve had only one card so far. I know two of mine have arrived, they’ve been mentioned in this thread.

Mine went in the mail yesterday. Postcards are hard to come by in this city. I stocked up.

I also received my first one yesterday. A lovely beach scene from Cunctator. It is well appreciated here in the Great White North. We have so much snow. At least it is sunny today.

I stocked up too – in anticipation of doing this again! :slight_smile: (The museums are downtown and a pain in the @$$ for me to get to right now, but I found a whole book of cards at a bookstore and just rolled with that. I may never need to buy more postcards for the rest of my life.)

WheW! Just under the wire - postcards consigned to the tender mercy of Canada Post/Postes Canada.

I am so glad that I did not draw Elendil’s Heir as a recipient. :slight_smile:

I have not sent out my cards. I suck. I’ll try and get it done tomorrow.

Forgive meeeee.

By the way, if we have a second round, I can stock up on Ottawa postcards in a couple of weeks.
