Hi everyone!
A couple of years ago we participated in a post card exchange with other 4 real members and my son LOVED it! He keeps asking if we can do it again.
Would anyone else be interested? I know last time we got postcards from many different states and had a fun time locating the places on the map,etc. You can do the state in which you live or if you know that you will be traveling somewhere this summer and want to do that state instead, that's ok too.
PM me or leave a comment if you are interested and then I'll compile the addresses and pm them to everyone!

We've done this before, too. My oldest son had great fun doing it! He was 5 at the time. Now that my next one is 5 I think it would be a great time to start again!

Great! This should be fun. I know my son couldn't wait to check the mail each day when we did this before.
Monica and Beth, Just pm me your address when you get a second and I'll start making the list.

We did this a couple years ago and got all the states EXCEPT New Hampshire! I even put an ad on Craigslist in that state but all of our networking came up short on that particular state.
So, we're happy to offer a WA state postcard, and I can easily get OR too if its needed, but the only one we need is NH!!!

Count us in...I thought for sure VA would be taken. Would a Civil War postcard be good? We're celebrating the 150th anniversary today in Manassas!

PM me your address and I'll send one out to you!

I already responded, but I had another question. What is the common practice of sending these? Do you write on the postcard itself, or send it in an envelope? For those that have done it in the past, what did you do?

In the past, all of our senders just sent us the card itself. Some wrote fun facts and trivia on the back, others left it blank. It's really up to you!
