I'm wanting to guage interest in a possible postcard exchange.

I didn't host one last year, but thought that while I'm laid up here recouperating after having surgery I may get an exchange underway should there be enough interest.

ETA... Postcards are always open to young and old alike, also keeping in mind that they are inexpensive both to purchase and to post and are educational. They are great for school projects or even just to learn and see something of another place you may or may not ever get to visit.

I am so in if you do this exchange!! I hope you are feeling OK. I just love seeing a different part of the world/country. (besides my little corner of it.) I never have really seen much beyond California besides WDW. So anyway.

I'm not exactly sure how the postcard exchange works. Do you just mail out a card? :confused3 But in any case, I'd be interested!

I would be interested, but I'm not sure exactly what it is. Do you send a postcard with a note written (like you normally would a postcard), or an envelope with some blank postcards in it?

Ok, how it works is that you send a minimumof 3 postcards in an envelope to someone. Some people like to have their cards written on and others prefer to have them left blank. So, when you get your names, you will know if you need to write something about the pics on the back or if you need to just pop them all in an envelope and post them off..

I specify that all postcards be sent in an envelope as they arrive much quicker and also in one piece that way. The first year we did it we had mangled cards arrive and very late arrivals as alot were sent without envelopes.

So, now it's a minimum of 3 postcards to an envelope and depending on how many sign up, you may be able to send to 2 or more different people if you so wish.

But it would depend on when it would be happening.

How are you feeling today, Nutsy?

When will it be happening??? I was looking at maybe next week sometime. I'm feeling ok... still quite stiff and sore though and lying around doing nothing is giving me the irrits.

Don't worry about me ;) My schedule is a mess. We are in and out until at least June...and then who knows what else will pop up :rolleyes:

Take care and do what (or don't do) you are supposed to!

So it is not like the Holiday Card Exchange where we just sign up to send out 10 cards and send to 10 different people? We send 3 post cards to 1 person?? Sorry I just want to be sure I am understanding it correctly.:upsidedow

Yup, 3 different postcards in an envelope to one person.

The post card exchange is already going .....you are a bit late :(
Nutsy usually hosts one every year though.
