Project Postcard Exchange - Those Lazy Hazy Crazy Days of Penpals!

[wmushell]

Hi, everyone!   

Thanks Michelle and Caryn for all your hard work in putting this together!  Michelle, I am sure you are swamped right now with the school year ending and all!

Thanks, Kristin!  I couldn't quite yet respond when you first posted this, but as of 4:00pm Eastern Standard Time yesterday, I checked out of my classroom and am now on summer vacation!    To which I have to say ... finally!

Also, to everyone else who has thanked myself and my partner in postcards Caryn - it is more than our pleasure!    This project has been more exciting for us than we can describe.  We are very much looking forward to making matches and moving on to the next stage of this fun project. 

I'm loving all of the discussions about postcards that people are thinking about and am excited for people to share once the postcards are sent.

Thank you to all who are participating!

Thanks Marlies - I've had a hectic day today and didn't get a chance to answer this earlier.  There is a about a two week period from when you get your recipient to the mail out deadline Chrissi, so don't panic.

Shell and I have started to put some thought into who will be partnered with whom and now it feels real to me...if that makes sense.  I'm very excited to see this play out.

[Chrissi]

i'm so excited which people you partner, honkifuluvGG

<--- Excited me after reading that.

Yay! Dude I cannot wait, LOL. Like I said before, it is so exciting to me because unlike when we did Secret Santa when Marian and I sent presents to eachother, I'll have no clue who will be sending me a card this time.

Good thing you guys can't see me now.. when I get all happy/excited about something I get all giddy and crap. HAHAHAHA

Yes!  We've begun the process and it should go quickly now.  It's been fun!    Hee hee, I feel like I'm planning the seating chart for a wedding or something -- this person should be near this person because they get along, etc.

Awww, Kami, I'm so happy you're excited to be surprised this time!     I definitely get all giddy and crap when I'm all happy as well.  Ask Caryn!  When we first began this and so many people were joining I was so excited that she had to endure me giving a little cheer about it every five minutes!    Luckily, she has (at this point anyhow) decided to still remain my friend.

Yeah but I mean what time as in 1pm PST on June 20th?  or something like that

Thanks, lalaliz2005!    I was just going to say that.  Caryn and I have plans to work on it tonight and pretty much finalize Postcard Pals as we don't anticipate a lot more people joining at this point.  However, I guess technically people have all day tomorrow (June 20th - and we'll go by org time) to join according to our guidelines.  If anyone is on the fence about joining, though, I encourage you to do it ASAP so that we don't have to slot you in at the last minute!  

Pairing people up has been so much fun.  It won't be long and all of you will get your PMs with who you have.  Yay!

Thank you to everyone who has been supporting this and helped recruit people.  We truly appreciate it.

Oooooh pairing people up was the best part when we did the Secret Santa! I remember that. I also remember the day that we started pairing up, was the same day that I got my cell phone stolen.. that's how I remember that so much.

Hehe ok back on topic.. I'm so looking forward to that PM. Woot woot!

[KuKuLeNiLeNi]

I can't wait to receive the PM telling me who I get to send the postcard to.
Do you think you'll be able to send the PM like tomorrow? Hahah I know I'm pretty impatient. Sorry.
But I think it's a pretty good idea, I know what I'm going to send!

See ya!
