And to those of you haven't received their cards yet...I hope you get yours soon too!

I had to do some rearranging on May's list at the last minute so what I have is not the most updated so I won't post it, in case it causes confusion.

I will start posting the exchange list prior to the following month's draw if everyone wants to see it... It will be easier for everyone I think, and less cluttery than all of us trying to update and repost the list individually. Thanks for trying though. lol :thumbs:

I am waiting to hear back from someone before I can do June's draw. If I don't hear by end of tomorrow, I will do it then without them I guess.

Let's put the monthly deadline at the 20th of the month. If you can't send your postcard by then, you MUST let me know, and like I've said, more importantly let the person you're supposed to send it to know via PM. It's really difficult and time consuming for me to try to keep track of who has or hasn't got theirs, and who was supposed to send it, and why they didn't, or when they did... etc. I don't want to sound hissy about it, but this is becoming harder for me than it needs to be. lol

Sorry for the double post... I just checked and a few people I had originally listed for June actually aren't participating and I forgot to cross them off. I will post the updated June list when I've contacted everyone with their info. lol Sorry. As of right now I have 16 people participating for June. Not 19.

Ashenflowers-Thanks for posting the final list for April and for posting the final future (May, June, etc.) lists too. It will definitely be easier for you to do it this way, than for everyone else to try and update it. Oh well, at least I tried before to start a list to keep track of things. So I leave the lists up to you, as it is less cluttered and more organized this way. And yes, it certainly helps us all keep track of how the postcard exchange is going too. Hopefully, everyone will get their intended postcards, and with that, maybe we'll see more people partipating too, which should make things more interesting....;)

As for sending the postcards by the 20th of the month at the latest...No problem....:):thumbs:

That gives plenty of time for everyone to find a postcard, to write their postcard, to send it in the mail, and to be received by the end of the month to the intended reciever.Everyone else agree on that date too?

Also as a general guideline to everyone: Bear in mind mailing times (USPS/CANADA POST/etc..), so plan ahead accordingly for that too. And yes, to let the receiver know if your postcard won't arrive on time too.

Ashenflowers, we don't want to make this more difficult for you or anyone else participating than it has to be. After all, it should be "fun, easy and simple for everyone", regardless!

So on that note, I think it is of everyone that is participating in the postcard exchange to be responsible too, to make sure they send their postcards on time (by the 20th at latest) and to hopefully receive their postcards by the end of the month (by the 30th/31st). So again, plan ahead accordingly......

Happy postcard senders make for happy postcards, right?....:)

By the way, I just received my postcard name/address for June! Thanks too for posting the list of partipants for June too. I look forward to writing and sending my postcard to this receiver soon!

Ant

P.S. To whoever gets my June postcard- Please PM me and/or Post a Message on the thread as to when you receive your postcard, as it has quite a bit of distance to get there, and I want to make sure it gets there in time....Thanks!

Can I play? :P

lol yes. Would you like to? PM me your address (or email vjpostcards@gmail.com <-- email preferred) and I will get you going :) You can still join June. Unless you were just joking. In which case, you're a meanie. :hehe:

And yes Ant, thanks for trying w/ the list. lol But I figured since I already have a complete one, I might as well just post it at the end of the month.

And yeah, I will promise to send out the draw and info before the 5th of every month, if we can all promise to send our cards out by the 20th :lol:
