Hi there Farmgirls,
Back by popular demand is the POSTCARD SWAP. We had one last year and the idea was to send ONE postcard from your state to everyone who signed up.
Here is a pic of my collection from last year! Cool, huh??
.JPG)
We will do it again, with a few tweaks to the process from last year. So, you can read about it here:
- SIGNUPS : open now, May 2nd. (only ONE signup opportunity)
CLOSING: May 25th
PLEASE: you must be able to commit to this and follow through!!! You will need to PURCHASE STAMPS and POSTCARDS (you can make them as long as they show something from your STATE or favorite VACATION SPOT).
- EMAIL ME: (Please, do NOT post here!)
~ Your MAILING ADDRESS and YOUR NAME (your 'real' name)
~ Your EMAIL ADDRESS
~ Your FORUM NAME-
HOW IT WORKS:
~ to EACH person on the list you will send ONE postcard that is
either:
- from YOUR STATE . . . OR . . .
- from your FAVORITE VACATION SPOT
- You basically have most of the summer to mail your postcards
out with the DEADLINE FOR MAILING OUT AS: AUGUST 15th- Once signups are closed I will EMAIL you the list and then you can write 'em and send 'em.[/purple]
START NOW:
- buy your stamps for POSTCARDS
- buy or make your POSTCARDS (showing your STATE or favorite VACATION SPOT)
- affix your RETURN ADDRESS
- be ready!!!
Thanks . . . should be fun! You'll make more farmgirl friends!
CJ
NOTE: If you are in MAIL ART or RAOK, I have your info already

Good idea . . . be on the lookout for postcards between now and next summer! That way you won't have to buy them all at once.
And, if you take a photograph that you really like for your state or favorite vacation spot . . . you can go to postcards.com and have them made.
So . . . go for it!

Dear Postcard Swappers: in the final analysis it looks like everyone should have received 44 postcards from other participating swappers.
It appears that R.A. from Indiana and F.C. from Texas went "missing in action" . . . as I believe no one rceived postcards from them.
And Cheryl in Oklahoma was very ill and several of us told her to take care of her . . and not worry about the postcards.
Sooooo that how it looks from this mountain in Colorado.
Thanks for the fun!

I've gotten 44 cards including my own. I have enjoyed each and every one of them more than once. Thank you so much to everyone that sent me a little piece of their world. I did not receive cards from the same girls that others have mentioned. I will say that Fairlee is a friend of mine and she hasn't responded to my e-mails so I'm hoping she is OK.
CJ, thank you so much for hosting this swap. I think it must take alot of organization and energy to stay on top of this swap. You did such a great job. Joey

I got a card from Rain in Wisconsin the other day-maybe Saturday and yes Krystle in Wisconsin I did get one from you a while back. CJ you are a super hostess, cant wait until next summer, I may start buying cards now, but if I am not careful I will have Colorado cards and not Texas cards. maybe I will get some cards of Bishop's Castle!!!!

Hi! I just want to leave a note of thanks to CJ for all of the time and effort that you put into this swap! Also thanks to each of you for the wonderful post cards! I learned a little bit about each state and also a little about each person sending them. And so much fun to get that "happy mail" mixed in w/ the bills and junk mail! |
