Add me. I'll PM ya my info.
Yup, count me in, sounds a bit different, I'm all for that.
Come on people, where's your sense of adventure? On another note, my "z" and "y" buttons on myipad just exchanged places! What the...
It's one time thing as far as I understand.
Is this a once a year thing, or once a month? Scanned back through the posts, but didn't see an answer. Apologies if it's there.
I'm putting a note about this in the newsletter so hold off on making the final list for a day or two....
You might have to put a sticker on the back of a 4x6 on photo paper so that you can write on it and the address won't smudge off.
I don't think I can find places to print postcards here, or maybe not at a reasonable price, but if regular prints are ok, count me in, and then I will see if I can get the postcards instead of the prints.
I had actually thought of sending the photo in an envelope, to protect it from handling.
but having the stamp and the handling from the mail is all part of the post card experience :)

Well, ok, but to give you an idea, my books look like they have never been touched, as the spine doesn't get a single crease from opening them. ;D
Do you also have a plastic cover for your couch and a blanket over the seats in your car? ;)I never had a brand new car, but I possibly would. My botebook still has that plastic film on the lid, and my smartphone also had that film on the screen. And I put a plastic film on my camera's LCD too. :D
madelaide did you get in? I don't think I got a PM from you.

Oops, I forgot that important step! ::) Will do it now.
How many are we now? When do we start....
0/ :: raises hand ::
You missed us...
Is this still happening? Was I supposed to do something?
Here we go! Interesting list - nice to see where everyone is from. Can you believe we have been talking about this for 2 months and I still haven't come up with a d*mn post card? We better bring this topic up again in a week just as a reminder....
Learned a new word today, thanks!
Looks like I'm a procrastinator too, got the labels and postcards printed, I guess you'll start receiving them from wednesday on.
Agree on the address-stuff. Looking forward to your postcards!

um... if you have the post cards printed and labeled you are obviously not a procrastinator. I was feeling proud that I got the address copy and pasted to my computer.
Hehe, yes, well, I should be busy editing stuff.Learned a new word today, thanks!

As soon as everyone has the lust with Karimala's address, and she has it. I can remove the list.
Yeah, zazzle brazil comes down to about $1,28/card :(
Why not order from the U.S zazzle either? you can google a 30% off on cards coupon right now (and use your zazzle earnings to pay if you want to)
oww, always google for coupons for sites that use them!!... amazon, smugmug, zazzle, etc.
I got my first one today! I needed my reading glasses AND a magnifying glass to read it! ;D I felt like a kid at christmas!
Hmmm. Opla has a very valid point. I'm afraid my postal code is incorrect. it should be 2281GK (And not 2032KA). Don't know what got into me when I passed Race that info, nor why I didnt' notice that earlier...
I'm very sorry about that. Hope I'm still on time.
My Correct postal code is 2281GK
Cheers,
Hugo

Ann, glad that you liked our photo (we're Christy & Charles). Which one did we send you? We sent everyone something different and didn't write down what went where!
Leaf, did you like the quality of their postcards?
Leaf,
I'm almost sure their logo can be removed in the Customize function.
Received Elvinstar's today, thanks!
Nicely scratched and battered. It only took 4 days!
Great pic of a small waterfall.
RacePhoto - I was puzzled seeing Karimala's post yesterday, and now realize she's on an updated list, so I'll send one to her and to Hugo's updated address.
If you think someone else might have missed updated info posted here, perhaps a new message with that link would be good idea?
Hey, they cost me 32 euro cents a piece! And the line in the middle was accidental. I had 15 glossy and 15 matte printed, just to see what would work better. The glossy's had the text printed down the middle of the long sides, the matte ones had it printed perpendicular to it. I sent the glossy's to all of you, and a matte to one. Anyway, hope they all arrive!Received Elvinstar's today, thanks!

In case no one noticed, Opla sent out a 4x6 photo, with a descriptive line down the middle to break the card up, which is fine with postal regulations as a postcard. Yes, the machines mangle everything on an equal basis. His photo may have made it through better than my dye-sub Selphy prints on "postcard" paper. I'll find out today, since I mailed myself one for tracking.
Just something to keep in mind if you are ever on the road and want to send someone a quick photo postcard. Take the shot. Go have it printed 4x6 at some corner store, draw a line down the middle, text on the left, postage and address on the right. There you are! Under 20c probably. The postage is more than the card! :)

Ahaa, here they just save money by forcing up ridiculous schedules for the mail deliverers and by closing one post office after the other forcing us to go a few kilometers extra when we need postal services... but even then mail in the weekends seems 'unsustainable' ;)
got cards today from racephoto and elvinstar. Thanks, they are awesome. Thanks for the little bit of history on your photo, race!
smiles aren't enough - it's time for MSG-PPPE-01's Group-Hug-01
Three more arrived today! ;D And I love Pete's extra touch...vintage stamps for my collection!
I hope Karimala and madelaide are feeling much better.
meaning only 2 working days to get from Norway to Europe.Is Norway not in Europe anymore? :)

Pixarts got a couple of machine whacks. (nice heavy card stock, wonder how it was printed?)I have a Xerox 7760 phaser in my home office and printed on glossy cover stock. It didn't seem thick enough actually so I slapped a big sheet of label on the back before trimming. Made it easier to write too as both sides were glossy.

LOL...I was wondering the same thing! ;D
Corepics, have you received any? Should we send a second card with the correct code, or do they eventually make their way?
I find it just so bizarre that it takes longer for American post cards to get to Canada than they take to get to Belgium or The Netherlands!!!
Just rec'd Race's today. Thanks for the story! And here I was expecting a race car from you for some reason. Now I'll have to look up Margaret Chase Smith, from the stamp.
That makes 3 total here - 2 from across the pond, one from my own continent. I guess the off-continent addresses went straight on a plane, and the rest were put on the back of a truck.
I received Ann and Pixart's yesterday...awesome! I like the little case you put yours in, Ann. Very clever idea, protects the photo.
Got three more today (total: 7): cclapper (you have that horse in a calendar, don't you?), Mellimage and corepics.
I'm loving this! ;D
I'm still waiting for 8 to arrive...will check my mail tomorrow afternoon.
We have received six so far. We also thought to check the mail today forgetting it was President's Day which means no mail today! :(
I'm at the post office, mailing the postcards in prioritaire so they are due to arrive in 5-8 working days.
Pixart's card arrived a couple of days ago here. Love the pic AND the message :)
CS5 should do it, did you google on "animated gif CS5"?
CS5 should do it, did you google on "animated gif CS5"?
No, I just barely knew it involved gif files, and was googling "avatars with motion" :-[
Thanks so much, Opla!
Because of RacePhoto's "racer-waving" avatar, I'd like to ask off-topic Q:
Could anyone post a safe link to a clear tutorial on how to create an avatar with motion?
(I googled it, and each answer was different, with different links, software, which I'm concerned about DL'ing at random. Besides RP's I've greatly enjoy the Dancing Cat avatar another MSG'er has.)
I'd like to create a stable avatar, ideally just using CS5, but could be flexible about software someone here highly recs. Thanks - Ann
I get those sometimes too. They ususally just peel off.Ha, it did. 700 more $ :)

Cool, now tell me, how do you create the tutorials with audio? :)
So, I got 10 postcards. Where are the other 4? :'(
I only have 10, also. I am missing blufish, mellimage, massman and rgebbiephoto.

Mine should have been there ages ago - sent it out in February... .
And I also have 11 excluding my own.
Wait Ann, how can you be off topic in the off topic forum? :D
Here are the three I didn't get yet. Maybe these people went away or something came up?
RGebbiePhoto
massman
Mellimage
Anyone get cards from these people?

Those are the ones I am missing as well.
Geez, seems like the US did not let my postcards in - hey, US costums - the flower on the card is NOT livestock, it is a photograph of a flower. ??? ???
