Meen (meendee) Woowoo!!

I just bought my stamps and dug out all the old postcards I've been dragging around for years. Now to find the right poem...

Hey Michaela, can we say on here who we are buddies with or is it (secret)?


message 2: by Kristin (new)

Kristin (kristinhays) Yeah! The fun begins!


message 3: by Michaela (new)

Michaela Wood I don't know, Mindy; aren't you the type that tries to find Christmas presents?


message 4: by Meen (new)

Meen (meendee) I was the type, but it's been years since anyone hid a present from me.

:)

(But really, can we?)


message 5: by Meen (new)

Meen (meendee) WooWoo! I got my first card today!!!

Thanks, Kristin!

(This is fun!)


message 6: by Kristen (new)

Kristen I got mine too. Way fun. I have no idea who it is from though. :)


message 7: by Meen (new)

Meen (meendee) Oh, that sucks!


message 8: by Kristin (new)

Kristin (kristinhays) Welcome! :)


message 9: by Meen (new)

Meen (meendee) Yay! I'm glad it made it!

Has anybody else gotten theirs yet? Are we actually going to be interacting on this group or just doing our bimonthly mailings to our buddies and nothing else?

Giovanna (whenwearebothcats) | 21 comments Mindy,

I got my postcard with a beautiful poem. I was so happy when I got it! I really hope this keeps up.

What about you?




message 11: by Kristin (last edited Oct 25, 2008 09:37AM) (new)

Kristin (kristinhays) I haven't gotten mime yet. I am still waiting everyday when the mail comes. It is exciting knowing that you are going to be getting something!


message 12: by Cathy (new)

Cathy I never got a postcard either.


message 13: by Meen (new)

Meen (meendee) Oh, that sucks! Who's not doing their posting duty?!


message 14: by Meen (new)

Meen (meendee) lol!


message 15: by Meen (new)

Meen (meendee) Who all is actually doing this thing??? Shouldn't we have like reports or something? 'Cause if some people aren't doing their sending then their recipients need to be partnered up with different folks, right?


message 16: by Kristin (new)

Kristin (kristinhays) I still have not gotten a postcard yet. Mine went out today instead of Saturday.


message 17: by Meen (new)

Meen (meendee) Michaela? Where u at?


message 18: by Kristen (new)

Kristen HAHA. You sound like a drowning person in panic mode Mindy. My status is that I sent out the postcard on both of the required dates. I also received my postcard at the designated dates. So everything is A-OK in my realm. :)


message 19: by Meen (new)

Meen (meendee) I often sound like a drowning person in panic mode, but I'm working on that with medication and therapy.

:)

I just think this is really cool, and it's sad if everybody doesn't get to share in the experience, ya know?


message 20: by Melanie (new)

Melanie Hi there!

I saw that Giovanna got a card from Mindy,is that right? Well....my buddy is Giovanna,too.How is that possible? I didn't get a reaction from Michaela when I asked her. I have sent two cards by now.Did you get them both,Giovanna? And...thank you,Giovanna! I loved your card,very dreamy and sweet :)
I'm looking forward to the next one!


message 21: by Meen (new)

Meen (meendee) I don't think you're supposed to be getting cards from the same person you send them too?


message 22: by Melanie (new)

Melanie Yes! I don't know? I just know that I got the adress of Giovanna and that she also sent a card to me....Hmmm...ther seem to be some problems here...

Michaela,are you there???????


message 23: by Meen (new)

Meen (meendee) I'll email her and tell her to come check in.


message 24: by Giovanna (new)

Giovanna (whenwearebothcats) | 21 comments Hi Melanie, my postcard buddy! :)

I have only sent my postcards to Melanie - no one else.

Thank you so much Melanie for your postcards and the poems are beautiful. I love them.

Hope you get your new one soon. I posted it on Saturday there.




message 25: by Cathy (new)

Cathy Hi Michele, I DID get the postcard -- thank you so much. I have been so sick and in the hospital and so I was afraid that I lost the postcard with others checking my mail. I was happy to get it. You're a peach!


message 26: by Michaela (new)

Michaela Wood Hi Everyone!

Sorry I've been out of commission as I was moving to the US from Germany and I was visiting some friends in between.

To clarify - everything I said in the notice about the postacrd group is true - you usually will not trade postcards, but send then to someone who is not mailing you....

EXCEPT ------- Giovanna and Melanie who are currently our only two Europeans, and need to mail each other to save on postage.

So everythings fine LOL.


message 27: by Meen (new)

Meen (meendee) Yay! Thanks for the clarification and welcome back, Michaela!


message 28: by Meen (new)

Meen (meendee) Yay! I still haven't gotten my 2nd one. I'm sorry that some others aren't getting anything at all. I can take on another buddy if I need to, Michaela.


message 29: by Kristin (new)

Kristin (kristinhays) Mindy,
I sent your other card out alittle late. You should be getting it soon. Sorry!




message 30: by Meen (new)

Meen (meendee) No problem, Kristin! I wasn't worried, but I still feel bad that some people aren't getting any at all.


message 31: by Giovanna (new)

Giovanna (whenwearebothcats) | 21 comments Hi Michaela,

If it would be any help to you, I would happily take one another buddy as well (whether it be in America or Australia!). I really enjoy this concept and I don't want it to fall apart.

G xx


message 32: by Kristen (new)

Kristen I'm always up for more buddies also. This is very very fun.


message 33: by Michaela (new)

Michaela Wood Hey Everyone!

If you aren't getting your postcard, write and let me know. So far no one has mentioned not getting theirs- I think the list is working! but if you get one late - don't fear! People sometimes space out. Write me and I'll poke them!

If you've forgotten one, don't worry! Send your buddy a missing in action post. You don't need to wait until the next time to send a poem out - We don't have to get fettered about when we send cards! Send one out for fun in the middle of the month if you like! There's always room for more poetry!!!


message 34: by Meen (new)

Meen (meendee) Wait, we already are sending them out in the middle of the month!

(Michele, I'm running late, but never fear!)


message 35: by Melanie (new)

Melanie Hi Giovanna,are you still my postcard buddy? The last time I also got a card from Lauracet,so I wondered if there was something changed...
Well,I don't mind to get poems from the two of you ;) the more the better!

And euh...I try to be in time...but I'm a little chaotic and now and then I'm a little late,but I will never forget you!


message 36: by Michaela (new)

Michaela Wood Something did change Melanie! You send to Giovanna and Lauracet to you.




message 37: by Lauracet (new)

Lauracet Cowan | 1 comments I'm loving making my postcards for this, instead of doing work for art school!


message 38: by Meen (new)

Meen (meendee) I love doing most anything besides work.

:)

Michele, I just mailed yours out tonight. I am running behind on everything right now. But I just finished my Master's degree, y'all!!!!

Woot!


message 39: by Giovanna (new)

Giovanna (whenwearebothcats) | 21 comments laura, get back to work!! :P

i tried to phone you there but i think you might be in work. i'm in work too - phone me when you get a chance :) xxxx


message 40: by Michaela (new)

Michaela Wood Way to Go Mindy!!! Lauracet - art school kids, in my experience, are always making something beautiful and not doing their homework LOL.


message 41: by Betsy (new)
