I never did hear if my recipient received their card or not - although they did have a LOT of things going on in their lives this month so it may have been one of the easy things to overlook. I hope they got it - it was of a Georgia dogwood tree in full bloom.

Yes, I got it Kathyrn....It was here waiting for me when I got back from Canada, ty. I am still trying to find some here in Knoxville, I look everytime I go out buy so far no luck..I guess I need to head to some more touristy areas. I was going to send one from Canada before I left, but my person was in the same city that I was in, so it would have been kinda boring. I am going on a postcard mission tomorrow!!!

Ashen could you please leave me out this month as well :( unfortunately I have been unable to locate a postcard in this city whatsoever. I would like to participate again in June after I go to Florida to get married, as I'm sure I can locate some postcards at the airport or something. Thanks!

I'm still in too!

I bought a batch of cards (once I finally found somewhere to buy them!) unfortunately none with flowers on them. :bonk: Back to the search!

I'm in too - although I sent my flowery postcard in April :lol: . I stocked up as well and also have a whole bunch of postcard stamps to use.

“...Isn't it splendid to think of all the things there are to find out about? It just makes me feel glad to be alive--it's such an interesting world. It wouldn't be half so interesting if we knew all about everything, would it? There'd be no scope for imagination then, would there?”

I finally managed to find a postcard for April ... man, that was a lot harder than I expected!! It will go out with tomorrow's mail. To the person I have ... thank you for being so patient :D

I can't participate in May as it's going to be a busy/hectic month for me.

Sorry... I've been busy this week. I've done the draw already, but it's actually quite time consuming to msg everyone separately to tell them who they have, so I just haven't had a chance yet. If anyone needs their recipient info before the end of tomorrow (Friday), please let me know. Otherwise it might have to wait until Saturday. Thanks for understanding!

JlovesA: sorry, but I didn't realize you needed it right away, and like I said, I just haven't had time to send the info yet. :wacko: If you want, I can still send you info for someone. Up to you! Just let me know, asap. :)

If anyone else ever has a case like that where they need the info before a certain date in order to participate in the draw for that month, please PM me and let me know ahead of time. :)

For those interested, here's who I have participating this month:

My April postcard sender kindly let me know that it has been sent, but it has gone astray. I will blame the ash debacle unless I find out otherwise. I'm off somewhere interesting this weekend so I shall pick a postcard up there. I'm lucky that I do trips at the weekend and where I live / work is pretty touristy (actually, most of the UK is pretty touristy) so it's easy to find postcards. If anyone wants some random ones to send let me know and I'll try to send you some - that would be weird, receiving an English postcard postmarked in the US or Canada :)
