Postcard Exchange!

[kizza 1]

Im in!

[antda 13]

Ant...I'm still waiting as well.

OBX-Lol...I'm still waiting too....Hopefully we'll get our June 2010 postcards before the end of July......

LOL Ant, that's funny! Glad the exchange is multi-functional and helping weight loss!

Anyway, to everyone: Now is the time to let me know of you can NOT participate in July's exchange! I'll hopefully be doing the draw by the end of the week (July is on THURSDAY! OMG). A few people bowed out over time, and for some, I'm not sure if they're ready to come back into things yet, or if they're still out. I'm keeping you out until I hear otherwise, just in case.

This is the MASTER list of everyone who's shown interest in the exchange now, or in the past. I put *s beside the ones that I know for sure DO want to (based on June's draw), and will be included in July. Please correct me if I'm wrong. lol I am posting this for my own benefit as much as yours.

(btw, is it just me or is it hilarious and awesome that so many usernames seem to start with C? Yay Canada!)

Ashenflowers-Lol...Yeah, I found it quite funny too, that I lost weight while exchanging postcards on VJ....Whatever works, I suppose...And this was the perfect 'motivation' to exercise, indeed! At this rate, I'll probably lose another 5-10 more lbs before the weather gets too cold for bike riding....

Thanks again, to everyone on the VJ postcard exchange for the motivation to exercise too!!!!

Thanks too, Ashen, for posting the July list.

Btw...Did you ever post the May and June list too? Thanks...

And yes, I'm still participating for July, despite still waiting for my June card...

I'm looking forward to still participating in the exchange! Hmm...I wonder who I will get next to send/receive.....

I think this VJ postcard exchange is great! Keep up the great work with sending/receiving the postcards, Everyone!

Lol...At this rate, it looks like I'll be on VJ for awhile still with the exchange...Oh the VJ addiction continues!

Lol..What a funny co-incidence about the "C" names too! Go Canada!!!!

Ant, I'll participate but I need to change the address "on file" haha. I am moving on the 21st.

JlovesA-Lol..That's Ashen's department, about the on file addresses...

Nevertheless...Good luck with your move to ON on the 21st!

Btw..If you haven't received the June 2010 postcard that I sent you by then, please PM me for a replacement card, if need be

I can join back in for July.

Im in!

Sdw and Kizza - Welcome back! Hope you both with enjoy the postcard exchange again too!

Happy Postcard Sending and Receiving, Everyone!

Thanks sdw and kizza!!

I won't be posting the May list because I had to make quite a few last minute changes by hand, and didn't update my computer list. D'oh.. I was going to post the June list after I notified everyone about July's info, but since you asked here you go!

Oh, and I just remembered that SupportGeek joined after I did the draw, and I had him send one to someone who hadn't received one in May, and sent him one myself so he'd get a June one too. lol

Ashenflowers-Thanks for posting the June 2010 list

And yes, it does help in keeping track of things....

Lol..Now I know why I still didn't receive my June 2010 card yet....It has quite a distance to travel to its final destination! Thousands of miles......Oh well, better late than never, I suppose...I'll be on the lookout for it though...

Nevertheless, I'm still looking forward to the July 2010 exchange!

Happy Postcard Sending and Receiving, Everyone!

I am looking forward to the next draw. What is the theme for July?

[OBX 51]

Boo hoo.... I'm still waiting for my June card.

[ashenflowers 5]

You guys keep rushing me! hahah jk... Here was my plan... 1) confirm everyone who wants to participate... 2) do the draw... 3) send all the info... 4) announce the theme and post the June list. Just so you don't think I was slacking I was just waiting until July to post the theme and such.

Anyways, I certainly don't mind going ahead and doing it now. So, that said... here's what I had thought about for the theme for July.

Since July holds both Canada Day and Independence Day, I thought we could have a theme about where you live or where you're from. Most postcards are locally based anyways so this isn't really a stretch, but maybe trying to find one of your specific city, or if you feel adventurous, try to get one from Canada, if you've already moved away... Or, if you print your own postcards, maybe do one of your favourite spot at home, or your yard, or whatever you feel comfortable with... Or maybe you could just write a little something about what you've learned or loved about where you live (or lived). Anyway, I guess you could call the theme 'Home'... and interpret that however you wish.

What do you think?

so could I join for this month? we are going to Oregon so I probably can find some cool postcards to send... oops that doesn't fit with the theme though...

Yes, absolutely! Yay more postcarders haha, yeah I guess it wouldn't match the theme, but that's ok!

If you could email your mailing address and birthday to vjpostcards@ gmail.com that'd be awesome. Thanks Marilyn!

[Marilyn. 340]

will do..

I do kind of feel at "home" when I am on the Oregon Coast... I love it there.. this will be my 3rd time going there..

[Canadiandggal 49]

I am in for july!!

[JlovesA 109]

I got my postcard!!! Thanks Ant! What a front yard you have...much nicer than mine.

At first I thought it was a postcard from A (he's sent me several) but when I flipped it over and I was like "Whoa lots of writing...definitely not from A!"

Thanks again, it's nice to receive mail that isn't bills!

[ashenflowers 5]

lol Awesome J!

K, everyone I sent out the info for July! I meant to send it a little earlier, but long weekend and all I got really busy! It's still the 5th here though.

Happy Postcarding!

My July postcard went out on Friday. Since we live in the "Land of Gone with the Wind" part of Georgia (Tara was supposedly located about 5 miles from where I live) I found a postcard from the Road To Tara Museum in Jonesboro - the actual "Gone With the Wind' city :-). While they never actually filmed the movie Gone with the Wind in Georgia, they did import thousands of pounds of Georgia Red Clay for the sound stage so it was filmed in Hollywood on Georgia soil :-).

[antda 13]

Boo hoo.... I'm still waiting for my June card.

Likewise, I'll still waiting for my June card too........

I hope that it's not lost, or anything like that....

I'll have to PM the sender to get to the bottom of this one....

Hope you get your June card too, OBX....

Regardless, I'm still in for the July exchange!

Ashen-Lol...Sounds like a good plan to me....Nah, you're not slacking...Thanks for doing all that work for the exchange....

I like the theme of "home" for July Sounds good to me.....

So I'll definitely be sending one of those "home" themed cards for July!

Btw..I got the contact info for July.....lol....Interesting pick, postcard Kitty!

Marilyn-Yes, by all means you can join us! The more the merrier! Welcome to the postcard exchange!

JlovesA- Glad you got the June 2010 postcard and glad that you liked it.

I agree, gettting postcards is better than getting bills....

Thanks too, for posting that you got it, as I didn't think it would get there in time, before you moved...

What a relief, that it actually got there!

Lol..Not bad...3-4 weeks from NYS, USA to NU, Canada.....

Kathryn41-Wow....You sent yours out already...You're quick! (lol..I have yet to send mine out...but I still have time..)

What an interesting postcard and background info about the card too..Whoever gets that one will be lucky to get such.

Happy Postcarding, for July 2010 everyone!

Enjoy sending and receiving the cards!
