i got cards already from ashley in toledo and rosemary in nashville.

Hi, I've been trying to mark that I sent my cards, but the site keeps displaying "Not Sent". But I sent them! Honest!

I put mine in the mail today.

There seem to be a lot of low ratings that come out of the postcard swaps. If someone doesn't get there's from me, please email me first and I'll gladly send out another. I took pictures from my neighborhood and have plenty of extras! :o)

I sent my cards out a while ago and have received 3 already.. I am soo sorry that in my eagerness to send them out I totally forgot to write in the words of wisdom!I am so used to sending out cards via postcrossing and for that i don't fill in words of wisdom.. so to the receivers.. i apologise!

tankgrrl29 05/18/2006 #

karen, i received one of yours, and i was so excited to get a card from Singapore, i didn't notice the omission!

i'm getting a little worried...i sent mine a week ago and don't see any comments about them being received. i checked with my mail room here at work and they are sure they were in the postal bin. did anyone receive their card from me?

also, i got one from Kingston, ON but it wasn't signed. thanks, whoever you are :o)

groovyholly 05/18/2006 #

I rec'd cards from Kristine in PEI (I love PEI!) and from Briana in Hollywood, CA!!! woohoo!

I received these words of wisdom from Thoreau (via Dana):

"...if one advances confidently in the direction of (her) dreams, and endeavors o live the life which (s)he has imagined, (s)he will meet wih a success unexpected in common hours"

Thanks Dana!

I've received about half of mine so far. And I am in three other swaps as well, so my mail lady at the post office is quite curious (since I live on a farm in the country the closet post office is about two miles away, but if you blink you'll miss it going down the highway, so she is the only worker in there, the building is smaller than a normal sized bedroom so you can imagine all the gossip going on in the small farm community now. I Love it and I'm not telling. Dortha

groovyholly 05/23/2006 #

I rec'd a postcard from Teresa in GA, thanks so much.

tankgrrl29 05/24/2006 #
