Sent two cards for 146
Mailed 146 today.
Hi! I hope Iām doing this correctly. I havenāt participated in the Forums here. Iāve probably collected postcards for longer than many of yāall have been alive. This RR operates a little differently from what Iām used to (all sent in an envelope, about 20-25 cards at a time, take what you want, replace with same amount, send to next person on the list with an eye to their listed interests). So, Iād like to play and see how this works. If these are still open, please add me to I-A, H-B, and W-B. Iāll PM my mailing info.
Hi @BellaCollectsCards and welcome! I bet you have quite the collection
Yes, there are Round Robins that send envelopes of cards, but most of these are just single cards sent ānakedā (no envelope). Except, as youāve probably seen, we have one group open (W-B) that is three blank randomly chosen cards in an envelope.
Usually when one is new to the forum, you may join only one group until your cards arrive from that group. Itās not personal - itās done that way in just about every group here, and I apologize that it wasnāt clearly stated in the rules above. Iāll fix that now.
I can add you to group I-A (because it will close when I add you, and you can start sending sooner) as soon as you PM me your address. To do that, just click my username at the top of this post and then click the blue message bar on my profile box.
Please let me know if you have any other questions, and I look forward to meeting you in a swap soon!

Received a card from @SharonMI for group #146. Thank you for the cute kitty!
Good morning, Sherri,
Thanks for the friendly welcome. I thought there might be a trial period, so Iām fine with that. I was involved in PC several years ago. Then life happened, and I went inactive for a bit. A friend on Ravelry got me thinking about jumping in again, and here I am.
Yep, cards are coming out of my ears. Lol!
I PMed my address to you, so just let me know what to do next.
Thanks!

May I join group 1-A please? Iāll PM you my address.
Received a card for Group 146 from @pcronn. Thanks for the cute wine dog card! I didnāt know wine dogs are a thing but I love it!
146 headed out today
Breaking news - Iām about to close two more groups, yay
POLL RESULTS
A slight majority of voters prefer 4 person groups, so the next groups I open will have 4 slots and we will see how that goes. Iām a little concerned that we donāt have enough active members to fill 4 slots, so please tell your US friends about us and hopefully we can grow a little more.
Looks like half the voters like to send cards for this group twice a month, thatās good to know. I will try to strike a balance to have at least one group closing each week, then you can work it out by how many groups you sign up for.
I see that a large majority of voters like wildcard groups - thatās awesome. Letās bring on the creativity. I can come up with ideas, but Iād love to know what youād like to see. Message me or reply with ideas if you have any.
Iām not going to summarize the votes on themes, you can look here to see how that voting came out.
I didnāt ask about preferences for sending cards written vs. blank in an envelope, so Iāll put up a poll about that next.
Thanks for joining and playing along!!
In this group, I prefer to participate in swaps with cards that are:
- written and stamped (sent ānakedā)
- multiple blank cards in an envelope
- no preference - I would join either type of group, depending on my interest
