I thought that sounded like such a sweet sentiment...

So, I was wondering....even though you don't know my daughter, her birthday is coming up in a couple weeks. Would anyone sending me a card during the next couple weeks address it to the birthday girl (Katie) and say happy birthday? I think she would be tickled not only to get mail, but also to acknowledge her day.

Just a thought - thanks postcard peeps for inspiration! :)

i'm in. any particular theme suggestions?

Well, Wil she's grown a bit since you saw her last. Although she's still super girly and loves music, reading, and things like faeries and butterflies. :) She's this interesting mix of strong-willed social justice minded pre-teen and foo-foo.

Thanks Wil!

Oh, I almost forgot: he bday party theme is under the ocean, and I have strict instructions NOT to include the little mermaid. Ha.

guess i'm gonna have to get creative, huh?

thinking maybe a series of postcards that make a larger image if put together? that sound like something she'd like? kind of an easy puzzle.

i forgot to mention the card i got...a lovely montage of the ever popular Manor, TX. thanks gemme! i did not know "what's eating gilbert grape" was filmed around here. i'm particularly taken with the water tower shot.

also, social justice....i love edward hopper. his seaside paintings are such a contrast to the urban stuff. it was nice to meet you while you were here. you have to come back when the weather is a little less hellish, yes?

Geez. Poke me in the eye. :)
Next time I'll draw a rip line down the center of the postcard and y'all can only look at your half...no crossing the line.

It has been a joy going to the mailbox and finding them there and seeing no bills

Happy, happy day :)

Hey, does anyone have an up-to-date, absolute latest postcard mailing list? I inadvertently deleted my copy of it. I would appreciate it if someone could email it to me? Just message me and I will provide my email address.

Thanks so much!

Home from South Dakota :) Had a great trip...T and I relaxed in a cabin at the Black Hills and did tons of sightseeing :)


We sent 29 postcards out! Not everyone received the same one again! We kinda went nuts with it lol We found some interesting ones and I cant wait for everyone to get theirs! Not all are South Dakota related, some we just couldnt help ourselves with!

We had 3 postcards waiting for us in our mailbox! You better believe the second I was on park, I was out and running for the mailbox!

TxBelle~ Cheese is good! We love cheese, both the food and then of course our own cheeziness that no one can stand lol

Gemme & Ebon~ We live in a similar town to this one lol I spend many days at "the Wal-Mart"

Outlaw~ What an amazing place to fish! Thank you for sharing that with us! I dont know how to swim, but I do love to fish :)

Thank you everyone!! Scoote they were sent out today so they should start rolling in close to the end of the week!!!

Hope everyone is doing well!

Thank you playful!

Our "postcard book" is growing...and sits on the coffee table to enjoy.

I'm sooooo glad that the Bahamas cards are showing up. I was starting to worry!


Thankyou Jo, I got my list today!
