My Postcard Project


People have asked where I need postcards from, so I am going to make a post to link back to for future reference. This includes Canada and the United States. Outside of that area it gets a bit more complicated to make a list. Even if I all ready have a postcard from your state/province/territory, I still do collect postcards and will not complain if you send me one. I also will happily send some in return. I just am a bit slow with mailing things, but I am trying to do better!  I will edit this as we go along. For the places I had some from before this project started, I might add some pictures... Basically, this post is a work in progress. Once I get a button I will link to it in my sidebar. (Please let me know if you notice a missing state...)

  3. Oooh, I will be in Kansas in July -- if you don't have one by then I will try to remember to pick a postcard up at the airport and send it to you :-) Same with NC if you don't have one by the time I vacation there this summer :-)

  5. Wow, you're doing really well! You've got postcards from everyone I've been recently, so I can't be of any help, but good luck! I'm so sorry I didn't get you one from Ireland. I am horrible about postcards, really. But will try to improve!

  6. Guess what?? I got a surprise postcard from you today :D It absolutely made my day Kells :D I'm moving to Mandeville this weekend…just about 45 minutes north of New Orleans…I know you already have Louisiana, but maybe I can send you one from Mandeville too if I can find one :) And we go to Mississippi a lot so maybe I can manage to get you one from there too!! In fact, Matt wants to go to a casino for his bday and we'll likely hit up the casinos in Mississippi…that's on June 12th, so I'll keep my eyes open!

  11. I might be able to send you one from Alabama and Mississippi. Do you want them in a separate envelope, or do you want them postmarked and written on and everything? If you have my email address you can send me your address.
