Good Morning everyone :) 

Spread some additional Summer smiles by signing up now through Sunday, August 2nd for our August postcard and notecard swap. Remember to PM me your complete mailing address should I not already have it. Thank you to Jeanne and Towana for coordinating with me on this! 

Both postcards and note cards are very welcome. What matters is the kindness you will be sending! I do ask that each participant post within this thread both when you have mailed and received your cards. This way we are all kept in the loop and know when to expect happy mail too. Thank you! 

Share with your 2 (at most) matches a fun August memory or a kindness you have received this Summer or are helping to make possible for another. Thank you always for making a difference! This is indeed a very strange and hard, sad, as well, time. It is also a time of many Blessings including being able to call each of you my friend. 

I will post matches either later Sunday August 2nd or early Monday morning August 3rd. Thank you for joining in! 

O/T I know the PM system on here is currently problematic. I do check in on PBS a few times a day. Should you not hear back from me at any time, please know it was NOT because I am not replying to you! Try again or if you have my email, email me. Related. I have PM-ed several of you who I am thinking will sign up for this swap :), about an RAOK kindness project I am working on. Should you have PM-ed me and I have not replied please let me know! I would feel horrible to leave anyone out who wanted to contribute! Or if you think I may have PM-ed you and you never received the message (I have found this to be the case :( please let me know that as well. 

Thank you, Hug, and God Bless You!

Welcome to you, too, Towana, my friend. Love the postcard stamps! I'm waiting to get some from the USPS.com. They didn't have the cute shells above just some not all completely friendly looking fish so sorry to all about that but still a friendly card :) I was gifted some other stamps by a friend already for which I am grateful, too :)

The shells were the 2018 postcard stamps. The Coral Reefs are the 2019 stamps. Whether there will be a 2020 version I'm not sure. 

The Great Outdoor Stamps are Fovever stamps. https://store.usps.com/store/product/buy-stamps/enjoy-the-great-outdoors-S_572804
