The Post Card Exchange discussion

1. Buy a bunch of postcards at once, or a package. (You can make you're own art too)

2. Keep it regulation size! (erratic sizes cost more than postcard size!)

3. Buy your stamps beforehand, (ask after the amount of postage needed at post office)

4. If your person lives far away and you can't do the postage, contact me and I'll switch you.

This is a wonderful idea.

I'm really looking forward to this :)

I love sending AND getting postcards and poems :)
I'm already a collector of cards with beautiful images...so I really like your idea,Michaela!

I already make cards in my free time, this is going to be way fun. :)

So it'll have to be short poems, right?

Haha That is just the kind of question I would expect from you Mindy. ;)
You can send the poetic ballads to me if you want. :)

OK, Kristen, I'm about to blow up your MySpace comment box!!!

Hi everyone!
I don't recommend limiting yourself to short poems. You have two choices with longer ones.

You can write "in part" next to the author and title.

You can send more than one postcard if you're feeling a lover of literature....

I, for one, and sending something "in part" this month! It's great, because your buddy may seek out the rest of the poem! (very romantic!)

PS.

How will I know who to send my postcard to? :)

HI Everyone,

You should have received an address with the name of the person to whom you'll be sending postcards. The address will never change, this the one person you mail to, someone else will be mailing to you. Picture a chain of drunk dancers, holding each others hips at a trashy American Wedding, that's the idea...LOL. You hold someone's hips, someone else holds yours.

If you didn't get an address please write me and ask for it.

Re: sending long poems, I just sent one today. What I did was type the poem up in Word and then changed the font and margins to where it would fit in postcard space and printed it out on paper and cut it out and taped it to the card. Now, I did use an oversized card, but I think it would be doable with regular size cards, too.

Michele, let me know if the paper taped on the back of the card makes it through the post office machines without getting mangled!

(Oops, see I revealed who I'm sending to. Hope that's OK!)

You really can't resist telling people what their present is huh? Haha
:) Ya I want to know if that works toooooooo
YAY
