Come join in our Summertime postcard swap!   Please keep this thread focused on August's mail.    : ) 

How will this work? Pick out a postcard from your travels or hometown. Should you live in a small town or for whatever reason not have access to a store bought postcard, have fun making your own, of course : )   You can print out a picture (either an image or photo you have taken) and paste it onto a half sized sheet of cardstock paper--instant postcard. Of course, a regular note card is welcome, too.  On the backside, greet your swap partner with a story related to your (for this month Aug) Summertime fun and perhaps how that relates to the card you chose. Please remember, there is no one way to go about this, just that it brings cheer to all participating and of course everyone feels welcome to join in, which you sure are! 

Please sign up in this thread and PM me by 6pm July 29th. PM me your name and address where you want to receive your postcards.  I will match everyone up and let you know your partners late on 31 July--max of 3 people to send out to depending on how many sign up to swap. To expand the fun and also places you will get a postcard from, swap partners will be changed each month (As much as possible for this last month of the summer.) This is why I do ask that you sign up each time in the current month's thread.  We ask that your partners receive their cards from you by the end of the month--so for this swap, by the end of August.  

Extra cards can be sent the first or second week of Sept to ANY of your summer swap partners to highlight your Labor Day (end of summer) activiites!

In addition, we will be doing a raok (optional) recipient who is a member's sister with special needs.  She will be listed in your PM when I send you your swap partners' names and addresses.  It is totally up to you whether you send to this additional person or not.

Have some summer fun!  --Jeanne

Received my first August postcards!  Thanks to Erin for a Pennsylvania Amish one and to Rebecca for one from the NC Museum of Art in Raleigh. I actually went there with my daughter last year when we stayed in town while my hubby attended a Genealogy conference.

thanks to Vicky for a card from Sandstone Falls  in WV and the update on her canoe travels with Lee. Had to laugh-- never did get Megan to go canoeing/paddling with me  here though we're only 2 miles from the Alafia River cause of gators!
