Hey Farmgirls, remember our Postcard Swap . . ??
It's time to signup for our POSTCARD SWAP. This will be our 8th year! Can you believe it! I know many of you have enjoyed this swap. It's easy and simple. So, here's the scoop:
- Send ONE postcard that either represents your STATE or a FAVORITE VACATION SPOT, to EACH person who signs up.
- I will compile a list of names and mailing addresses and email it to you, so......
- SIGN UPS ARE OPEN NOW, will close on MAY 27th. Please post HERE that you want to sign up AND . . .
- EMAIL ME (please do NOT post your info here) with:
-Mailing address
-Your "real" name
-Your forum name
-Current and active EMAIL address
DON'T FORGET I NEED YOUR INFO!!!!
You can purchase postcards at gift shops, restaurants, retail stores, gas stations, visitor centers, etc. You can also take a favorite photo of your own and have them name into wonderful postcards. I have done this using the website, postcards.com. They are very well done, great quality and not expensive.
I suggest that you sign up right away, and then start purchasing stamps for postcards and return address labels. I also suggest you start purchasing your postcards or get an order going for any that you might have made.
MAIL OUT DEADLINE: AUGUST 25th Yes, you have all summer to get them ready and mailed. But, trust me, you don't want to wait until the last minute.
SPECIAL NOTE: Typically there have been approximately 25-30 farmgirls sign up for this swap. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE carefully consider being able to follow through on this swap. Follow through is very important!
THANKS MUCH . . . HAVE FUN!

Hello my farmgirl friends! I will be sending mine a bit late. I was in a difficult car accident in June that has impacted (no pun intended!) my whole summer. Thank you so much for being patient with me. Getting the cards really is a blessing and I'm grateful!

Latest postcards are from Carole with the largest rosebush pictured from Tombstone Arizona (wowser) and then from Brenda! Brenda we do have a place close to us within a half days drive called Helen Georgia very similar to your Frankenmuth, Michigan! Too cool! Oh, did I mention your tom turkey Holly? Awesome capture! :)

Joyce,
Thank you for the lovely post card. I meditate with a doctor named Gil from Price Edward Island. He always shares the most amazing images of your area. Here is what he sent today.
"The eastern horizon has thin high clouds along the edge, catching the sun light early before it crosses the horizon, they glow with deep pink and orange against the clear blue that has followed the passing storm front, the air is dry, having been wrung free of all moisture as the storms passed, the northwest winds bring cool air down having pushed away the heavy hot air that has dominated these last days... the weather dances lightly across this island, changing and varied, the only constant is the breeze bringing with it whatever luck it happens to carry... and so life is like this, it varies and changes as we dance through this world, it is heavy and thick then lighter and breezy, the only constant being the winds of change that are ever blowing, so I set my sails to catch the breeze, reefing the main when the winds are strongest, hoving to in the storm until the seas settle, but always watchful and aware of the winds the propel me forward.." |
