Your hometown postcard

WHAT IF OUR HOMETOWN IS SIMPLY tiny? can we make one or participate with a clos by town???

SURE~or how about your home state or country or little neck of the woods......LOL

A postcard in an envelope!?!?!? That's just crazy talk!

Im amazed at the number of people in this swap!!! awesome!!! I hope I get a few international cards :) [if anyone outside the United States wants to swap with me after this one is done contact me :)]

Hi, just to let you know partners that my post card maybe delay 15 or 20 days, I´ll send from Brazil, ok? No envelope needed for me either.

Jakfrostwife, I didn't realize you were hosting this swap. Very exciting and can't wait to send mine off.

Yes and envelope, please

Gary

I\'ve had to delete a few of our swappers that had more then (avg was 4 no sends)....but it looks like the site should be updating in a few hours for your partners?! Get your pen\'s and postcards ready!! & Happy travling~thanks to all of you that did join! Jakfrostwife~

Hi~once again.....I cleaned up the comments (sorry couldn\'t get rid of the advertising) to just those that had a request about their postcard or comments that we all need to know. Jakfrostwife

I had a comment up but it seems to have vanished.

I would like my postcards to have the post mark and they can be written on.

Looking forward to the postcard Joan McClement

Jollye~most everyone wants them mail like a postcard... the few that didn't are the one's that I left up. Thought it would just make it easier for those to scroll down.... except for the pestie advertisements....jakfrostwife

Postcards sent out today!

Postcards are coming to the Netherlands and the U.K.! Mine will have three stamps each, as my little local Post Office had to scrounge to find the right combination for $.75 each!

Hi, Zrmzlina! Your postcard arrived today. Thanks so much1

Postcards are on the way to the USA! One to Missouri ( for which I have a soft spot for) and one to Indiana ! Some where I have always wanted to visit.

I sent my 2 postcards out today...

Hi Kimmie & Bentley: your postcards arrived in the mail today. Thanks for the new views.

0I sent both my postcards to Canada today :)

I talked to the post office here in Kansas City and was told it takes so long for postcards to arrive because they are not sent First class. They seem to have their own timeline. Like they are a pain to handle. So give them lots of time even here between states let alone overseas. I wanted to do the fabric postcards but missed the signup date. If anyone sees another one please let me know.

I shipped mine today. One to Australia and one to Oklahoma-USA.

Sent mine out last Tuesday....Can't wait to see how long they take to get to Canada and North Carolina!

dropped mine in the mailbox today (will go out tomorrow). Received my first card today from Orlando. Woo hoo!

I got my postcard from Mrs.q today. It was very nice and had a nice message with an interesting tidbit about some escaped circus elephants who spent a month living free in the area. I don't see a way to leave a rating for her though. I am very new so I'm not sure what to do.

Melissa

You'll get a chance to rate one week after the "send by" date.

Kim, got your postcard from North Dakota. Quite interesting facts about Sitting Bull.

Sending out my postcards today to ordinaryangel and Mrs. Wood! Received one from Denver from girlzoot, thanks!

Mary - thank you for the postcard and tidbits about the murals of Huron, I think that is really amazing.

Helen C. - Your postcard arrived today! Thank you! It was very interesting and inspired me to dig out my old Beatles CD for the kids to listen to, lol. Great info about the Civil War battleship! We live down the street from a Confederate Cemetary so found the common link intriquing. Thank you again & have a great day!

Sharlzie and aka jam56 I sent my postcards week ago. Hope you've received them. Please, let me know if the cards arrive.

mnsqb,

Got the postcard. Love the picture! And I totally love St. Paul's former name. That gave me a good laugh.

Thank you so much!

I sent out two each to Fingers Inc.and girlzoot on Monday the 26th or Tuesday, lol. It was supposed to be one each on one day, then the next day the other two. However, hubby grabbed all 4 of them and mailed them at once! Bugger.

I got a postcard from Sharlzie on Saturday March 3rd. Thanks! :)

Bonnie in PA and Jutta in Finland yours are on the way! I received one from SanDiego on Friday...oh, to have an ocean view...

Brenda from Hollywood - thank you for your postcard with the very interesting fact. I'm originally from Northern California, so it was such a treat to receive a postcard from my home state. :)

Received a beautiful card from clayshaper - thanks so much, David -I've been to Everett, it's such a beautiful place! (of course, anyplace with a view like that of mountains and the ocean so close is wonderful for someone like me in the landlocked midwest!) hahaha have a great week, MaryB

OK we have 5 more days until these all should be mailed out and 2/3 of you are ROCKING! I'm hoping that the rest of the gang is just busy licking stamps for the postcards? Please don't forget to mark your swap as "SENT". jakfrostwife

Glad you got it Nick! Thanks for posting and letting me know! I got one from Toledo! THANKS! This was a great 1st swap! Looking forward to more! LAura

Barbara..

Got your postcard today from Biloxi, MS. I've always wanted to visit Biloxi. Hope to get there someday.

Thanks for the card!

A Maritime Girl, you are not wrong thinking the send by date is March 10. It is. You haven't done anything wrong. Today is the deadline for getting the cards in the mail :hugs:

Em and papierdreams, Thank you for the postcards. They arrived in good shape. Em, I have had yours for awhile, I am starting to realize how IMPORTANT it is to let people know you received their items on these swaps. Cool cards, thanks again.

Lovely, lovely Colorado view from mrsmc today. It will have a page in my Colorado postcard book. Thank you!

Appologies BabyBlue and Tartlover07. I was procrastinating and when I went to send your postcards this atfernoon, I realized I didn't have any stamps left. I'll have to send them Monday. So sorry!!!

I have been having computer problems, but I sent my postcards on March 1 to Tennessee and Australia. Hope you like them.

I received my second post card today, very pretty. Thank you! Hope you've gotten yours.. Thanks!! :)

alhambra - thanks for the great big postcard from Poland! :)

Thank you Linda and Marie for your lovely postcards.

I sent my two to Elke in Germay and Lisa in Australia, although they could take a while to arrive as we are always joking that our post always arrives and departs our little town via a stage coach with 3 broken wheels.

Tenna from Denmark, thank you for a very interesting postcard, it arrived yesterday :-)

When are you rating our partners? I got mine on time.

You can rate your partners, lastslade, 7 days after the sending deadline which was 10 March. So that means 17 March the link to rate partners will appear in the box above the swap description. It appears sometime during the day, not always at the same time.

More information can be found if you click the "Ratings Info" link at the top of every swap page, http://www.swap-bot.com/rating_info.php

i received another postcard yesterday from pat-michigan.thank you :) i havent heard from my receivers..i hope it'll get to them safely..

Hmmm... I wonder if my postcards have been recieved by WiscJennyAnn and niecedenise? Maybe I didn't put my online name on them?

So, I guess if two Wisconsonians have postcards they don't know who are from, it could be me.... Sonia! Let me know if y'all don't get them and I can resend, I would have expected postcards to already be there by now. :)

Big thanks to lauramum and tellu for their hometown postcards....delighted to learn about your places...the architecture in both places were fun to see.....think I'd better come in person, no?

Marlene

Courtneyg-I got your postcard last night...I have family in Winston-Salem...I love it there!

oops. I mean I am hoping Ewie and WiscJennyAnn got my postcards ... niecedenise I got a postcard from, heh heh.

Dietdew and Carmen,

Just wanted to let you know I received and loved the postcards...went to look how to rate today and can't find it yet...will keep looking though.

Thanks again DebbieH

Debbie,

It takes a week from the send date before the option to rate is up. It will be a link on this swap to follow, but you have to wait until then.

I got a really nice card today from Ryan in Portland, Oregon - thank you :)

I received a beautiful big postcard from Idd all the way from Sweden and she wrote me a note on how her hometown is connected to mine (Singapore). It's an amazing story (something I know nothing about though I am such a history geek). Thanks so much Idd! :-)

I haven't received any card :(

I sent my postcards to Blackie and cheekywabbit56 15 days ago, hope you received... let me know, ok? Hugs from Brazil!

Claire from New Richmond, WI, got your card today. Your "state bird" looks like some I have seen here in Texas. Interesting fact about your town glad to hear it has grown again since the 1890's tornado.

lauramum- I got a postcard from youi today but I dont know which swap its from. You have diff people listed on this one. But anyway, it is the most beautiful,serene place Ive ever seen. Thankyou Denise

I am guessing the picture was taken in Oklahoma. (or Cherokee, North Carolina)

LOL, nope~hint number one: It was not taken in the USA (at all)

Ninety-Thanks for the super pc with so much info! :D

received beautiful pc from Ellen in Port Credit - I love lighthouses!

Still nothing from Clayshaper, but it says it was sent, so I'll give it a couple more days.

(for some reason, my link to rate the senders is not opening, so I'll try again tomorrow, and keep my fingers crossed that Clayshaper's card arrives.)

MaryB

NieceDenise - I've sent you a message via Swap-Bot :)

My second guesss on the picture is Mexico or Puerto Rico??

Rebecca~You must be an ANGEL!!! Thank you for the cool pc! :D

How long do we wait before rating a no send?I have already gotten 2 from Australia in another swap that started a week after this one.

Goldenpetals...I would try and contact your partner before giving a negative rating. Sometimes postcards get lost in the mail. If no response after a couple of trys then, rate away....

Got 1 out of 2 - never recieved from Snooky0620 but thank you monstermansmum05!

carollauren, did you get a card from me yet?

tangledthreads~your close now.......on the first one! So I guess your the winner......look for an extra postcard....

Jakfrostwife~Your postie arrived today! Thank you, you are so sweet to fill in for my flaker!! :D
