Are we going to do this differently to the other post card exchange?
i'm not sure how the ms card exchange was done anne. it looked like each person would have to sned out a bunch of pm's and try and keep track to make sure they didn't miss anyone.

what i am doing is keeping a master list of names. everyone on the list gets everyone's addy.

when someone pm's me their name and addy, i add it to the list and send out 1 group email to all on the list. it's been very easy to keep up with.


added for doody: i'll add you. yup...very organized.

Heart

is this working ok for everyone?

getting the lists?

don't worry about rushing to get them sent out or all at once.

they can be any kind of postcard. if you have a program that came with your printer or another graffics program, just make your own on card stock. it will print 4 on 1 peice of paper.

Too late Curious!

I already sent DH to the store today for a new supply of postcards. The lady at the souvenier shop where I get all my postcards knows him by name now, and so does the lady at the postal department where he buys my overseas stamps! She even suggested that we start buying them in bulk!

My first instalment will be in the post in a few days time.

94 cents? That's daylight robbery.

I checked all the postcards I have which I received from the MS forum postcard exchange, and they all had 90 cent stamps on them!

I assume that postage costs have gone up for both of our countries. My first ones cost me $1:25 from here, now stamps on postcards from Australia to the US cost $1:30.

I received a greeting card in a sealed envelope yesterday, and that had 4 stamps on it. They were all bells, but I couldn't find the number of cents written on the stamp They just say USA First Class Forever.

Mine are all addressed and ready to go, so hopefully they'll be in the mail before too much longer.


PS. I do have spares for latecomers.

yep. rate went up here again. it's pain. if you had already bought stamps, then you have to go and buy 1c stamps.

costs them more to print them up.

Those are the "Forever Stamps." Someone from the post office got this bright idea that if we bought those, we could avoid the postage rate hikes. I don't even remember what I paid for them, but I have a bunch of them!
