10/01/12: For all intents and purposes this swap is finished. I know there are some postcards out there and I hope they find their way to their recipient. It's been fun, girls! Thanks for sharing vignettes of your life and home with us. Tune in again next summer (May) for the 2013 swap. Happy Fall to ya'll! CJ
09/07/12: Some late swappers have said they are mailing postcards . . we are still waiting . . .
08/28/12: Disappointing, but it appears that we have at least FOUR participants, possibly more, who are not following through! CJ
8/25/12: POSTCARD SWAPPERS: since the deadline for mail out was five days ago, I'm hoping everyone's cards are in the mail..!!! Thanks! CJ
05/23/12: MAILING LIST HAS BEEN EMAILED. . . . If you did NOT receive the list, please email me right away. BUT, look in your spam folder first. Several farmgirls have found it there. Thanks much and have fun! CJ
05/21/12: SIGNUP for this POSTCARD SWAP is CLOSED!!!
TOTAL for Postcard Swappers = 40, including yourself - you will send 39 postcards: - 38 postcards will go to USA addresses - One postcard will go to "dutchy" in Thailand, cost + $1.05
- Mailing list will be to you in the next couple of days. REMEMBER: MAIL OUT DATE is AUGUST 20th!!
**IF, by any chance, ANY of you are thinking you MIGHT not be able to follow through.
NOW, and I repeat NOW (Monday, May 21st before noon) is the time to let me know. Once the list goes out, joyful participation is anticipated!

Hi Farmgirls, Back by popular demand is the POSTCARD SWAP, this will be our 3rd year.
In this swap you will select postcards that either: - represent your STATE or, - are from one of your favorite VACATION spots.
You will send ONE postcard to EACH person who signs up, and you will receive one postcard from each individual.
IMPORTANT: signing up means that you will need to purchase stamps and postcards and mail to everyone on the list. Last year there were approx. 45 farmgirls who participated.[/i]
Those who have participated in the past have enjoyed receiving these little bits of mail from many, many farmgirls all over the country.
SIGNUPS are open now, will close on MAY 21st. EMAIL ME YOUR: - Complete name and complete mailing address - a correct and complete email address (otherwise you won't get the list) - your forum name[/u] You will have ALL summer to get them ready and in the mail. MAIL OUT deadline is AUGUST 20th
You can get started by getting your postcards and stamps. You could also put your return address on them, either by writing it on or using labels. I will compile the mailing list and email it to all of you after the signup period closes.
If you have some photos of your state or vacation spot that you like you can get them made into really nice postcards at postcards.com
Let's have some postcard fun! CJ
This is one of my postcard collections and I enjoy reading through them and looking at the photos every now and again.

CJ - I was just thinking about this swap and looking through my postcards from last year with a big smile. I'm definitely in on this one! I can't wait! My family and everyone who visited thoroughly enjoyed all of the postcards last year. It was an absolute treat going to my mailbox every day and finding greetings, history and stories from our farmgirl sisters all across this amazing country! I treasure every one, and wouldn't miss this swap again for the world! I have even already found new postcards I'd like to send! YAY! Thanks so much for hosting this swap again! Hugs - Nini

Life may not be the party we hoped for, but while we're here we might as well dance.
