I will participate but I have to send either handmade postcards, or postcards that I bought overseas. I hope that’s o.k. ---

I’ve sent homemade cards as well. I’d think cards from overseas would be fine, esp in these uncertain times 🙂 ! ---

Crud, I thought yesterday was May 29. But no, I have to wait another week to get my postcard assignments. Rule 7 is sooooo onerous. ---

The deadline has now passed, and I just sent out PMs to everyone with the names and addresses of those to whom you should send your postcards in the next two weeks, that is, by Fri. June 12. (See Rules 4 and 5 above, especially). All addresses are in the U.S. unless otherwise noted, and everyone has at least one non-U.S. postcard recipient in his or her group. There’s no need for anyone to send extra cards, as the numbers worked out perfectly, but if anyone wishes to do so, please say so in this thread, and others are welcome to then swap home addresses with you via PM. Thanks, everyone, and have fun! ---

I have to say sorry in advance to my recipients. All three cards will go from Germany to the USA, which will take about a week from my experience anyway, and I won’t be able to send them before June 6th or so because I ordered cards that won’t arrive earlier. But I promise to post them before the deadline. ---
