I also received one of @endymion’s spiffy art deco-y cards this week. Thank you!

Postcard Project Update

I’ve received over 40 postcards addressed to me or the school but I don’t know all of your real names so I can’t thank you individually. But THANKS for all the postcard love.

I just found the note I made about that on my desk! You wanted region stuff, maps or things about the area, right?

@Magpie -

@Smmarrt

I have a request to make from this group. Most summers, my preschool hosts a Postcard Project. We learn about the Post Office and stamps and blue mail boxes. And we ask the grandparents, cousins, and faraway friends to send us postcards, while we make cards and deliver them to each others’ mail box (lunch bags, a la Valentines Day).

If you can, will you send us a postcard? You can send them to me or the school.

We love map cards, animals, recipes, glamour shots of your town, village, or city, postcards that tell about something special in your area - sand dollars, folklore, history. Any card that is G-rated.

Thanks in advance and I’ll post a photo later in the summer when we get rolling….

Are you planning to put them up in the school? We’d love to see a photo if you do.

I received some happy mail - including a lovely collage-y affirmation with a sweet little purple birdie - from @jemimah. Thank you! I’ll have to squelch my urge to reply until you’re moved and I have your new address, knowing how long the postal service can take sometimes.

Going out today @Smmarrt

[Smmarrt (Susan - You can just add more paint!)]

Yes, I’ll post a pic. The kiddos are mostly taking them home so I won’t have a ginormous collection as I have in the past.

I keep meaning to make a book to keep/display them. I’ll think of something.

[Animegirlie (Malinda - burner of pizza)]

OH! I keep meaning to send one! I need to get a LA post card. I have cards from Tokyo too I think.

[Smmarrt (Susan - You can just add more paint!)]

Today kids received from India, Poland and Australia! I think the sticker dots are the highlight.

[Cindy (🇨🇦 … keeping my Joy in a chaotic world …)]

I see my card, the moose on the window, but no sticker dot on PEI (although it would be completely covered)

[Smmarrt (Susan - You can just add more paint!)]

Yes - a lot of the stickers are in the oceans/water so we can find the sites again!

Thanks again!

Happy July Sky!

Now accepting entries for July and August Birthdays

[bluebird]

I received happy mail from both @Whistlefish and @wittychild! Thanks to both of you!

The fun fact I received from @wittychild was “Fun fact #9 - Barbie’s full name is Barbara Millicent Roberts.”

[endymion (Pam 🇺🇸 (she/her))]

My birthday is in August.

[PrincessP (Lauren 🇦🇺)]

Oh my goodness!!!
@Magpie you are AMAZING!

Thank you so much for our very first housewarming gift, it is the first thing we have hung albeit in a temporary location in the middle of the kitchen wall

And your card is beautiful too! Thank you SO much

[Magpie (Straight, not narrow 🏳️‍🌈 🇨🇦 🌎)]

Yay! Moving is an adventure & yours sounds like a big deal. Go, you!
I hope Australia Inspection enjoyed it equally

[Edel]

I got awesome mail from @jemimah it was waiting for me when I came home. Party birds! (I completely agree with the sentiment)

And another happy bird.

And even better a short story that she wrote, it’s terrific. I loved it!

@Reinikka I’m a July baby, the 29th to be exact. I’m going to be 55 where did the time go??

[kittykill (Eat the Marshmallow ~me)]

YES! I am finally at a place that I can participate again!
