Post Card Project......Part 2

    Back in June, I posted about how much I love to get postcards. I promised to send out a postcard to anyone who wanted one, up to ten people. Part of the deal was, if you wanted a postcard from me, you had to agree to send one out to someone else, thus paying forward the postcard bliss. Was I ever surprised to get some in return!
    Take a look at the nifty postcards I got:

Clockwise from top right
Amish girls in Pennsylvania, from Auntie M.
Connemara, Ireland, from daughter Gnome and son Neo
A beautiful painting by Andre Derain, from Septembermom
Patriotic Philadelphia, from cousin Jill
     I came away from this little project with a renewed gratitude for my family and friends, and with an increased desire to send more postcards!  Every time I travel someplace new, I buy a souvenir magnet. I am committing right now, in front of the whole world (because we know the whole world reads my blog, right?)  to also buy a postcard and send it out. Are you with me? Help keep your favorite postal worker employed!

  2. Naqvee: That is so inspiring that you and your friend remained in touch with letters over the years! As much as we all love email, there's something to be said for getting a letter in the mail. And yes, I would LOVE to get a postcard from you! I will send you one too! Email your complete address to foreignquang@gmail.com and I will send you my address too.

  5. Leaving Friday, via air. It's the last day of the Hog rally, so I hope they've cleared out by the time we arrive.

You won't be paid for it, but at least you'll know that you have contributed intelligence to the universe...
