2009 September Exchange - Postcards

[Kersti]

The September Exchange will be a simple one - postcards, no tatting required. A great way to see where people are from and learn more about each other :)

Yea! This is one I know I can get done. It should be fun and interesting!

[McPhel]

[lalou]

Hi everyone. my name is nancy, i'm from Abbeville Louisiana. Would very much like to join in in your postcard exchange. I am very new to tatting have wanted to learn for a long while now. Everyone I Knew that tatted has since passed away so i am teaching myself. (Alot of trial and error.) look forward to chatting with you all. thanks

[bjhuff]

Hey count me in on this one too!!!!!

[bjhuff]

Yep I am in on this!!!!!

[tattrldy]

Welcome, lalou! This is a perfect exchange to start with - just getting to know others that tat.

[Papagena]

Yes, I've signed up for this exchange! This exchange make a lot of fun!

[Angela]

I am in. Now I only have to find some postcards!!

[Mary Frankle]

Sounds great.................count me in. Mary from NC

[spuriportugal]

Hi...I've signed up for this exchange...I love postcards collection and I 've signed for 4 postcards!
It is really nice to talk to the world!!!!
Maria

[meowy]

It's amazing how hard it is to find a local themed postcard around here! I've a couple more shops to try before I resort to making my own to send out :)

[madhur]

Is it necessary that postcards depict pictures of your country? Can one post handmade post cards? Any specific dimensions? Is it permissible to send across handmade postcards in envelopes? Just curious!

[Kersti]

Can you really not buy postcards of India???? Even generic Indian postcards would be fascinating to those who have never been there. There's no requirement to hand-make your cards (don't want to scare off any newbies) but of course a handmade card is lovely if you cannot find normal postcards. Normal postcards are 6"x4"

[madhur]

Thanks Kersti. Indigenous postcards are available in abundance here. Just thought the handmade would give a personal touch. Never mind. I'll look for printed postcards.

[Kersti]

I think we all forget how much what is mundane to one is fascinating to another :)

Another tatting exchange will come around soon enough! (ideas always welcome)

[Dawn]

Suggestion: If you cannot find local post cards how about sending a good photograph of a local place or item of interest with a little information about it printed on the back of the card? Just a thought....

[Ridgewoman]

Thanks Kersti. Indigenous postcards are available in abundance here. Just thought the handmade would give a personal touch. Never mind. I'll look for printed postcards.

I, for one, would be thrilled if I had a postcard of a Festival Elephant all done up for the Parade. We lived in a primarily East Indian Community in N. California and that's where I gained my love for the food, the Sari's and the lovely fabrics and embellishments. Also, many folks may not realize the differences in the flora and fauna of different regions. My East Indian friends loved Sutter County because it looked like their homeland (lots of rice grows in this area and orchards); but they also talked about going to the mountains to see the snow.
It is a fascinating country full of life, music and GOOD FOOD. LOL
BEV :heart:

[Kersti]

I'm about half way through sending out exchange partners but it's very very late and I'm exhausted so I'm afraid the rest will need to wait until tomorrow.

[Ridgewoman]

I'm about half way through sending out exchange partners but it's very very late and I'm exhausted so I'm afraid the rest will need to wait until tomorrow.

Pfft. Anyone of us can wait until tomorrow; and, if we can't ~ well! LOL

Get some rest, girl! Bev :cool:

[meowy]

Wahoo! Thanks Kersti, heading out in a bit to mail my postcard :)

[Kersti]

All the partners are now sent out :)

[Sherry Matthews]

I got my partners, and will be getting my cards soon, and in the mail before the week is out.
This is exciting. I haven't done an exchange in so long, I forgot what fun it is.
Sherry

[tattabugg]

I got my partners and will be sending out my post cards by Friday!!

[madhur]

I got my partners. Shall be mailing the cards early next week.

[CindyK]

Off to find some Minnesota cards so I can get them mailed out by next week. Funny how I look for them everywhere I travel, but I've never really looked at them for my own home since I see the sights here often.

[tattabugg]

Have sent all my cards out today, yay!!!

[spuriportugal]

Hi, I've got my partners and I'm looking for same information to mail with the postcards!!!
Thank you for this exchange...is really nice!!!
Maria

[bjhuff]

I have sent my cards out today

[Mary Frankle]

I have my names and will be sending the post cards out soon. I'll be looking in the mailbox too. Mary in NC

[MrsBoats]

Off to find postcards tomorrow! Assuming I can get them tomorrow (I'm fairly sure the place I have in mind is open tomorrow) I'll get them in the mail Monday or Tuesday.

How fun!

[AnneB]

Got contacts, got poscards but not stamps yet. Will send them next week :smile:

[Ridgewoman]

Went out and bought my cards and am addressing them now. Will go out Monday as I have a box to mail and some correspondence. It's amazing that Silver City doesn't have any cards that really show the city; just the surrounding sites and countryside. I've yet to find a good card representing Silver City itself, I'm thinking of making my own in photo shop; taking my own views of the City, which has interesting architecture and historical buildings.

While I was buying cards, an unbelievable monsoon with thunder and near-by lightening was hitting all around the shop. I was so wet after I went to get the van, not moving fast on a cane, that I had to come home and dry my hair (good rainwater wash) and change sopping clothes. What an adventure! So these cards have some memory attached. LOL :cool:

[Sherry Matthews]

I was not able to get my cards in the mail yesterday (Friday) because my plans to go to town got changed, I will get them in the mail on Monday. Sorry for the delay.
Sherry Matthews

[CindyK]

OK, can I send more than 1 postcard? It's hard to choose just 1 that represents my home!

[Clementina]

Mie care amiche, io condivido la vostra passione, ma purtroppo non so l inglese.
Non so come comunicheremo , ma se tra voi c'è chi parla l'italiano sarò ben felice di parlare.
Siete comunque tutte bravissime nel tatting.:ohmy:

[Sherry Matthews]

Hi ,
I was surprised by my husband this afternoon. He said he was going to town and wanted to know if I wanted to go along. Yea! I was able to get the cards in the mail today. Yea!
Sherry Matthews

[Ridgewoman]

My first card, from Krystledawn, arrived Saturday! I share you love for Mt. Rainer. hugs, Bev

[madhur]

Hunted for the cards for hours yesterday. However their print quality is not upto the mark. But they will certainly tell my partners about the surroundings in which I've been living for almost 14 years! Like Cindy I too want to send more than 1 card. Can I?

[wickedtats]

my postcards went out today! I hope the recipients like them!

[Kersti]

You can send as many cards as you like :) Just be aware that you may just get one in return.

[Marty]

What is the due date for sending the postcards, anybody?? I'm having trouble getting to the store to buy some cards. We have car trouble (mine's dead in the driveway and my sister's is in the shop already), and a full plate. I am going to do this! BUT, I need to know where on my to-do list to put the shopping!

[Josie Passell]

I posted my cards this morning, they will take a week I think to reach their destinations.

[Sonja]

tomorrow I will send my cards (I need stamps), but it is coming. Very nice idea

[AnneB]

I went to the post office today, but did forget to bring the postcards :doh:

Did buy the stamps needed and will post them tomorrow :biggrin:

[Papagena]

I went to the post office today, my cards are postet.

[CindyK]

Mailed off postcards today - what a fun way to make introductions. Made me realize how much I really do love my home :)

[Angela]

I mailed my postcards today. This was fun.

[emkay]

I mailed my postcards today and I received a couple of postcards today -- simply lovely! Moments of delight in an ordinary week.

[Sonja]

Wednesday 16 I posted my cards to Papagena and Sandra.
Thursday 17 came a beautiful card of Paganena, thank you very much. I will send you a private letter

[dbrn]

I received my postcard from Angela today - this is a nice way to get to know a little bit about the ladies here on the board. I also got the stamps for those I'm sending, so they'll go out tomorrow.

Thanks, Angela!

Deb

[spuriportugal]

Hi everyone, I've mailed the postcards for my partners with some information about Cascais-Portugal...hope you like them!!!!
As soon as I can, I'll post the Cascais information in my page, so all of you can see it.
Regards,
Maria
Portugal

[BahmaTerri]

I mailed my three postcards today and received one from Josie yesterday! Thank you Josie.

[AnneB]

My postcards finally got to a mailbox today, both going across oceans!

[tattrldy]

:thmbup:I finally got my postcards mailed! Both are leaving the States.

[Monica]

I addressed my postcards tonight - they'll be off in the mail tomorrow.
~M

[madhur]

At last have been able to put pen to cards. Just need to put them in mail today. The Post Office is located in Supreme Court compound itself!

[Kersti]

All mine are in the post :)

[Liyarra]

Sorry to my partners - been on night shift and haven't had a chance until this weekend to get mine done but they are in the post as I write this so hope you get them soon.
And by goodness......Broadford DOES have a postcard.....ROFLOL

[Papagena]

Friday 18th I received a beautiful card from Sonja, thanks a lot! I'll send you a private message.

[Green Gal]

:doh:Yay! I finally posted mine. Can you hear my recipents sigh with relief. Unfortunately I wrote total gibberish on them as my brain was off with the pixies or some such thing

[Marty]

My postcards will be leaving the office in about a half-an-hour -- as soon as the postman gets here to take them away! :woohoo2:
I know, I know, I'm slower than seven-years-itch, but they are all finally gone.:thmbup:

[Mary Frankle]

Sorry to my partners. I had a Sr. moment and thought the postcards didn't have to go out untill the 20th something. I realized that was about the date my library book is due. I'll get right on the postcards. Mary in NC

[Ridgewoman]

Post cards posted to USA and abroad! Should be arriving post haste (and you know how "haste" our PO's are! LOL) Bev

[madhur]

Yes I posted my postcards yesterday! And can you believe it- according to my clerk, the postmaster refused to accept them until and unless they were put inside envelopes! Strange!

[dbrn]

I've sent my postcards out today to:

Angela
Mrs. Boats
tattabug
Bahma Terri
Trayna

I received a postcard yesterday from Tattabug. Thank you so much.

Deb

[PattyD]

Happy to report that I have posted my postcards today! It's been a long haul, with hospital stays and a vicious summer cold. Then, finding any postcards, much less something local was quite a challenge. But perseverance and a helpful husband who called all the hotels in 10 miles did finally locate some cards I was happy to send! One to Australia, one to New York! Yeah!!!!!!

[Ridgewoman]

Yes I posted my postcards yesterday! And can you believe it- according to my clerk, the postmaster refused to accept them until and unless they were put inside envelopes! Strange!

That makes no sense or logic at all, does it? LOL The Postal systems (all over) never fail to amaze! :cool: bev

[Liyarra]

This has nearly prompted me to go out and start taking photos of our lovely town. The postcards from the local traders (only ones we can get) are SOOOOOOO boring I guarantee Broadford is MUCH nicer "in the flesh".......
But Mrs Boats, Kersti and PattyD I can assure you they are on their way.
Parcels take 4 days to Denmark - wonder how long a postcard takes to USA and Ireland???????

[tattabugg]

Yayyy... I received three post cards in the mail today from Trayna, Kersti, and Deb! They are so lovely,thanks so much ladies. I think I wrote mostly gibberish and forgot to mention any thing about myself (sigh.. some times my brain doesn't work all that well)

[meowy]

Yay, thank you Maria! A lovely postcard arrived from Portugal today. Thanks so much for the booklet about your town, that was neat to read about and see even more photos in it too :)

I hope the one I sent to you arrives soon. I sent it out on the 9th or 10th, either the day or the day after Kersti sent out addresses. Kind of getting worried that it's gotten lost in the mail eek!

[Dawn]

Hi! I got a lovely postcard from Greengal today! Thank you for such a pretty picture! I got sidetracked and only sent my cards out today. Hope they get to their destinations soon!

[bjhuff]

Angie I got you post card on Friday in the mail thanks so much!!!!! It is fun to get cards from places that you have been---we have family that lives in Michigain and so it is awesome!!!!!Thanks for the post card :smile::flowers:

[conniemable]

Krysttledawne I got your postcard and I wish I was there to see the Rainier for my self. Been out there before but never saw it.

[Sherry Matthews]

Hi all,
Today is Wednesday, Sept. 21, I received my postcards from Kersti and Trayna today.
On Monday, I received my card from Mary. Thank you all so very much they are lovely. I appreciate your time and effort to acquire and post the cards. Thanks.
Sherry Matthews

[dbrn]

Trayna-

I received the postcard you sent today. Thank you very much. I can sympathize with the desire for more sunlight - it's been a very rainy summer here for us.

Deb

[Ridgewoman]

Received great photos of Dublin and Aberdeen, Scotland today. Thank you Kersti and Trayna (I'd like to see the sun sparkling off granite buildings ~ sounds lovely). Bev

[lalou]

hi everyone,

was so happy to receive your postcard Kersti in the mail today 9/21/09 breathtaken view.

[PattyD]

Oh My! I had forgotten that I got Barbara's postcard already! It was a pleasure to get after all the difficult things that have been happening. So lighthearted. Thank you.

[Marty]

Yesterday my mailbox contained envelopes from Papagena and Spuriportugal (Sonja and Maria). Envelopes, mind! Each envelope held a beautiful large postcard with very nice note and an interesting brochure. Thanks, ladies!

[tattabugg]

I got Bobs' post card today! I love the one that has the nativity that was made by German prisoners of war during WWII! It is lovely and I had never heard of this. Thanks so much!! Two more cards to receive yet,yay! This has been so much fun! I feel the same as Meowy as I have only heard of two of mine being received and I also sent them out on the 10th and 11th. I have no problem of sending out new ones if they don't arrive soon.

[madhur]

I'm so depressed! Neither have I received the post cards nor the acknowledgment of card receipts from my partners. I'm not sure whether I should blame the Indian postal department for this. Well, it's festive season here! Too many government holidays.

[emkay]

I am enjoying the postcards I have received from Michigan, Indiana, Texas and Ireland -- thank you! This postcard exchange is fun!

Peace, Mary Kay

[Josie Passell]

Thank you Bob from Idaho, the postcards are lovely. I love the Nativity scene, what a lovely tradition. I do hope my card to you arrives soon, it was posted over a week ago!

[AnneB]

A lovely postcard from Australia arrived yesterday. Thank you Kathy! :biggrin:

[Ridgewoman]

I'm so depressed! Neither have I received the post cards nor the acknowledgment of card receipts from my partners. I'm not sure whether I should blame the Indian postal department for this. Well, it's festive season here! Too many government holidays.

OH, don't be depressed! I'm sure they will arrive soon. Postal departments all over are slow (snail mail) and I'm sure they will arrive any day. Mine is in an envelope! LOL hugs, Bev :heart:

[tattabugg]

I received my last two today! Thanks Patty! I have been over the Golden Gate Bridge once when I was younger. What a gorgeous view, I just love it! Thanks... I also got a beautiful card from Monica! I so love the maple leaves and the History. Thanks

[Mary Frankle]

I have sent my postcards today. Again, I am sorry that it took me so long to get them out. Mary in NC

[dbrn]

I received a postcard from Bahma Terri today. Thank you very much.

Deb

[Sonja]

Have I told I got a card from Papagena? I cannot remember. I'm still waiting for Sandra, but Amerika takes a long time, I know from earlier exchanges.

[Marty]

Last night when I got home the mail box yielded up a very pretty card showing the Big Horn Mountains in Wyoming. Thanks Margie (McPhel)!

[Papagena]

Hi Marty,
Yesterday I received your card showing the Skyline Salt Lake City. Thank you very much!

[Kersti]

So far I've been very lucky and have received cards from Barbara, Mary Kay, Bob, Nancy, Delsay, Cindy, Trayne and Sherry (who also was very naughty and included a gorgeous little bookmark)

[Lena Lindstrom]

Hi! I have received postcards from Kersti, Krystle and Trayna. Thank you very much for the lovely views of your home area!
I have just written my own cards. (sorry for the delay but this is an extreme month of busyness). I will put them in the mail tomorrow and hope they will arrive soon.

[AnneB]

Today another card from Kathy in Australia arrived - thank you :flowers:

[CindyK]

So far I've received wonderful postcards from Angela, Bev & Kersti. Thanks - it's fun to see where everyone lives!

[spuriportugal]

Hi Meowy,
Thank you so much for your card, sorry...I had no much time to be in pc....you know, school starts and lots of school work!!!!
I'm glad you like my card!!!
Thank you,
hugs from Portugal,
maria:thankyou:

[meowy]

Yay! You're very welcome! I'm so relieved it arrived :)

[conniemable]

I just got my last postcard from Winnipeg Canada Tank you so much to Monica. It has been a long time from the last time I was in Canada.and would love to go again.

[Ridgewoman]

A beautiful card from Canada in Fall colors arrived today; with a bit of history that I did not know about. Thank you so much, Monica....loved the way that card was embossed...really nice Bev:thmbup:

[bjhuff]

Wow today I recieved an awesome postcard from Anne from the awesome Norway thanks no sun that would be a dummer.:smile::flowers:

[madhur]

I finally got the much awaited card from the granite city. Thank you Trayna, though I wish you had mentioned a little more about your self on the card. I'll cherish it lifelong.

[BahmaTerri]

Thanks Kersti! I really enjoyed the postcard exchange. It was a nice, easy way to put names and places together and start new friendships. The postcards I received arrived on different days and I did a happy dance for each one.

[tattrldy]

My postcards came in the mail yesterday, one from Monica in Winnipeg and one from Aileen in Singapore (who also sent a little gift package, very sweet, thanks!) It is soo cool to get mail from other countries! This was a great exchange. Thanks Kersti!:thmbup:

[Mary Frankle]

Hi All, I got a wonderful card from Margie in Wyoming. Mary in NC

[Liyarra]

Thanks Kersti - your envelope arrived on Friday. Such a beautiful country - the landscapes are stunning. And thanks for my badge.

[AnneB]

I usually don't get mail on Saturdays, but today a postcard from Betty Jo in Black Hills, South Dacota, US. It is amazing that someone decided to cut the faces of four presidents out of a mountain!

Thanks Betty! :flowers:

[Ridgewoman]

WOW! I received and envelope FULL of cards from Minnesota today from Cindy K in Andover, Maine. Just a beautiful state and area. My cousin, now lives in Des Moines, IA, lived in the Minneapolis area for years. Of course, I love the area because of the lakes and trees; and especially Garrison Keeler's Program. LOL Bev :cool: Thank you Cindy, you really caught the spirit of the exchange and I liked your letter/report and the personal bits, too. . I didn't write much personal info on mine; I forgot! Well, now my receipients know one thing ~ I'm forgetful! LOL :biggrin:

[CindyK]

Hi Bev - I'm so glad you received the cards about Minnesota! The searching for postcards really made me realize how much I love my state :) Garrison Keillor humor is only for some of us - my hubby is not impressed while I think he's pretty funny. And you aren't forgetful - I tend to over-explain!
Best Wishes ~Cindy

[Liyarra]

Patty your postcard arrived this morning. What beautiful sights. Gorgeous blue sky and wonderful wildflowers. Thank you very much.

[PattyD]

Oh, I am so glad! I can hardly wait to see yours, too.

[spuriportugal]

HI everyone,
I've received cards from Marty and Aileen (with some gifts!!!!).
I liked this exchange very much...it was realy nice!!!
Thank you so much Kersti and all the tatters of the world!!!!
My best regards to you,
Maria

[PattyD]

Dear Jenni,

Received your lovely postcard today. Broadford looks charming! And the stamp was gorgeous, too (a scene of Russell Falls in Tasmania). Thanks for the terrific card.

Patty

[Ridgewoman]

Happy Dance! Madhur's postal card en envelope arrived today! A lovely photo of a monument I had not seen before in color, The India Gate with a lovely note on the back. Thank you so much. I'm enjoying looking at the stamps from different countries also. :heart: Bev

[madhur]

Bev, can't thank you enough for the magnificient cards you sent me. I liked them all! :happy: Shall soon reply in detail.

[Josie Passell]

I have received a lovely postcard from San Diego, California. Thank you Terri, it looks like a great place. Is the Colorado the state or part of San Diego?

[MrsBoats]

Happy Autumn everyone! My apologies for taking so long to get mine out, but September decided to be Medical Crisis Month here, and it seems like I've spent most of it in waiting rooms in three different states. Despite some fraught moments, everything seems to be turning out well and when I finally got home, it was to a stack of postcards waiting for me, and another stack waiting to go out. They all have now, and it was wonderful to come home to nice words from people in far-away places!

[Mary Frankle]

Thank you Valerie for the wonderful images of Singapore. Now your home will not be just a far away dot on the map to me. Mary in NC

[CindyK]

Despite some fraught moments, everything seems to be turning out well and when I finally got home, it was to a stack of postcards waiting for me, and another stack waiting to go out.

Glad to hear that everything is turning out well :thmbup: and you had some fun mail to return home to! Best Wishes from the north.

[Tarie]

Hey everyone how does the exchange work? I'll think about doing the next one.

[Ridgewoman]

In general we fill in the form for Kersti ~ so she can match names and places and general information. WE sometimes exchange tatted pieces; for instance, we had a bookmark exchange. There is always a time limit and we let one another when we've received our exchange. The post card exchange, folks could pick the number of folks they wanted to exchange with (I had five). We have a lot of fun and Kersti thinks up different sorts of exchanges; and always welcomes new ideas. :cool: Bev in NM, USA
Hey everyone how does the exchange work? I'll think about doing the next one.

[Josie Passell]

Thank you Linda for the interesting postcard and stamps of Fort Worth, Indiana. Night photos are so atmospheric. In my ignorance I'm afraid Fort Worth conjured up cowboys and wild west images.

[Deann]

I am excited about this. Can you tell me if I actually signed up. I meant to but, don't know if I actually did or not.

[Mary Frankle]

Thank you Judy for the beautiful card of the "Saved Desert". Knowing it is special to you, makes it special to me. I have been watching the PBS specials about the National Parks and have enjoyed all the views of our country's diverse landscapes. Mary in NC

[CindyK]

MrsBoats,

Thanks for the postcard from Virginia - it must be wonderful to go from mountains to beach in a matter of hours! Looks beautiful :)

~Cindy

[FlosAustralis]

Josie:
Thank you for the beautiful postcard from Chesterfield. Stepping Stones are amazing.

Flos Australis (Gloria Bass)

[Dawn]

Hello! I got a postcard from Judy with a wonderful desert scene on the front. Thanks, Judy! I also got two more cards from greengal in Australia! Thanks again to the both of you! :)

[Sonja]

Sandra's card is still not coming. I don't know if she got mine.(snif, snif)

[Kersti]

I am excited about this. Can you tell me if I actually signed up. I meant to but, don't know if I actually did or not.

Hi Deann

I'm afraid that I didn't get your sign-up. Not to worry, there'll be a new one soon. I try to do them every second month.

Kersti

[Sonja]

Today came a beautiful card from Sandra, with a nice story about her. Thank you. I don't know if she got my card.

[tattrldy]

:sad:Monica, Aileen - as I haven't heard that you have received my postcards I must assume they have gotten lost in the mail. Though they may eventually show up I'm sending each of you another postcard - this time in envelopes!:unsure: Maybe they'll get through that way. I'm sorry you have had to wait this long. Let's hope these don't take the same route!!:yes:
Wanda

[Monica]

Ok - I'm finally back in action!
Crazy schedule, cranky computers and getting my yard cleaned up before winter has kept me away from all the "fun" stuff in life (like tatting).

Just want to let you all know that I've received postcards from ALL of my exchange partners. The world is such a beautiful place, and the post cards I received prove it!

[madhur]

I have yet to hear from Tryana. It seems she never got mine even though I'd posted both on the same day!!!!

[Kersti]

There's been postal strikes in the UK which may be affecting deliveries

[madhur]

Thanks for the update Kersti. I've been wondering ever since.

[FlosAustralis]

Josie: Did you get my postcards?

[Josie Passell]

I have received postcards from Bahma Terri, dll lman and KrumTats, I have not received cards from FlosAustralis or Elizabita, but we have postal strikes on and off at the moment. I am happy to wait to see what happens. I hope those that I sent arrived safely. It was about 4 weeks ago I posted them.

[Sherry Matthews]

Hi,
I have been watching, but I have not seen if Trayna has received her card from me. I will forward another to you if it has not come. Please let me know.
Sherry Matthews

[dl11man]

Have been under the weather with gallbladder removed this week - Have received all my postcards - thanks everyone. Robert, from northern Iowa.

[Valerie]

Glad you got it, Robert.

Speedy recovery. :)

[Valerie]

Thanks, Mary. Glad the card's given you a good impression of Singapore.


Thank you Valerie for the wonderful images of Singapore. Now your home will not be just a far away dot on the map to me. Mary in NC

[Josie Passell]

:happydancetwirl::happydancetwirl::happydancetwirl ::happydancetwirl:I am doing a happy dance. I received a wonderful package from Gloria in Chile. Not only were there seven, yes seven, beautiful postcards of Chile but also an intriguing horsehair bookmark and a pretty tatted medallion.
Thank you so much Gloria.
:clap::clap::clap::clap:

[FlosAustralis]

I'm glad you liked it, Josie.

Gloria.

[Trayna]

I want to apologise to all my postcard exchange partners - I got all the postcards for them sent off in plenty of time but things have been a bit fraught here recently (my FIL passed away last Monday with the funeral yesterday) and I have not taken the time to thank them all for their wonderful cards. So THANK YOU

dbrn - Debra
Kersti
Lena
Madhur
Monica
Ridgewoman - Beverly
Sherry
spuriportugal - Maria
tattabugg - Barbara
and Valerie

[Marty]

Hey, pollydoodle! Did my postcard to you ever arrive? If not, I'll certainly send you another -- do let me know!

[madhur]

Sorry about the bereavement in the family. My condolances. No need to apologise.

[dbrn]

Mrs. Boats-

Thank you very much for the postcard you sent. I apologize for my delay in acknowledging it - I've had limited computer access for the past couple of weeks.

[Ridgewoman]

Trayna; my condolences and give no thought to post cards. B.

[tattabugg]

Trayna, So sorry to hear of your loss and no need to apologize. Hugs
