PLEASE DO NOT REPLY TO THIS POST!

RR Guidelines

• To join, please post on the forum the number of the group you want to join.

• If you are joining for the first time, please send a Private Message to MichelleW with your mailing address. You can’t be added to a group unless your information is on record. You don’t need to send your address for any groups you join afterwards.

• When a group closes, the host will send a Private Message with the names/addresses for the other members.

• You may send any card you like as long as it is not on a recipient’s “do NOT send” list.

• When you write cards, please remember to include the group number (i.e. “US to US Group #XXX”) and your online name with your message.

• PLEASE post when you send and receive your cards! Include the group number it was for and the username of the person who sent it. “Thank yous” are nice!

• Verify with other members that they have not received your card before you resend them.

Scanning & Sharing Your Cards

We do have a flickr group (Flickr: The US to US Postcards Pool). If you would like to scan the cards you receive for the group and post them on the site. We’d love to see them! Otherwise, the new format allows you to load your scans to your post with ease. If you need help, just Private Message the host or ask your question on the RR!

CHECK OUT THE NEW FORUM’S USERS’ GUIDE AT:

Forum User Guide

Welcome! As a new user of the forum, we hope you will find it easy to use… but just in case, here is some guidance to get you started. Basic Terms Here are some basic terms that will be helpful to keep in mind: Topic: A collection of posts grouped together in a meaningful conversation, with a title, listed in a category, beginning with a first post, and including all replies in chronological order. Sometimes, this is also traditionally known as a thread. Post: Each element of a topic…

MILESTONE LIST

Each time we reach a group that marks another 100 groups sent, a special Milestone Group will be opened that has NO limit to the number of people who join. Please note that if you join a milestone group, you must send a card to ALL of the other participants!

If you wish to be included on a list of people who will be automatically added, please post your request on the forum.

@hootnoodle , a funny card extolling the single virtue of self-checkout. Estacada is still a pretty green space and not over-crowded because of our Urban Growth boundaries.

Thank you!

Group 1500 All of my cards have now been sent!

@salemhouse sent 3 beautiful large birds from St Augustine, FL. We’re hoping to travel to CT to see my family and our friends in a month or so.
@MystiqueDeep sent Harry Potter waiting to begin his first Quidditch match. My favorite book/movie is Sorcerer’s Stone, but I don’t have a favorite character.
@Angeldreamer sent Mt Rushmore. Our dog was a great passenger, but we never went more than 250 miles from home!
@Appaloosa05 sent a Crane from the Animal Box. It sounds like you had a good day! Bob and I haven’t been our for ice cream since time out of mind!
@lyndylou5 sent a squirrel with a big horn! Bob had both of his shoulders operated on so that once he retires we can get back to fishing and kayaking, and enjoy our Golden Years
@Cruzin sent a delightful butterfly and lady bugs. There’s not much of a tourist draw in my little town, but I’m looking forward to moving to Florida (whenever that happens) and dealing with the ‘SnowBirds’
@ljbbauer sent a US Mail truck. Bob and I have always dreamed of an ‘RV’ life, but for reasons beyond our control, it seems unlikely
@JudyFL sent a beautiful Ayrshire cow. I did not know that there is a cow & heifer postcard book and now I have to have it!! Nor did I know there is/was a rabbit show in Columbia!
@TandemStoker sent a Palmistry Guide. I decided I was sick of the same 3 ground beef meals that I was alternating each week so I found a page from Taste of Home and copied a few recipes. I’ve made a different one each week for the last month and my guys are very happy!! One with Ramen soup, one with pierogis, one with gnocchi, and a pizza burrito!

Thanks, everyone, for great cards, stamps, and stickers!

@TwoDoggies - toy wagon, thank you! Have a great trip! My parents took a European river cruise a couple years ago and had a blast!

@sleepyhippo1 - bench in Charles City, thank you! This definitely works. I need to take some mini road trips. Haven’t really been anywhere outside my normal work to home and errands routine.

@Cruzin - surfing in Hawaii, thank you! I’ve been back, but since my last friend has moved off the islands, I don’t have nearly as much motivation to visit again, though I’m sure I still will. Ireland is also on my list.

@ljbbauer - closeup cat face, thank you! Changing habits is definitely difficult. I’ll need to do so, myself, one of these days… been waiting until I was in a place of my own - easier, at least I hope it will be.

@scoutingbear - Monsters Inc concept art with playing cards, thank you! This is so cute, haha! Every weekend has been a lazy one for me, too hot here as well.

@TandemStoker - weasel, thank you! I used to play Wordle with my coworkers before we opened the store for the day. It’s definitely helped me with crossword puzzles (filling in words with few letters).

I am finally back from vacation to a wonderful stack of postcards! Mine will be going out later this week. While away I purchased over 250 cards. CRAZY, but so worth it!

@SincerelySel sends a wonderful upcycled card from her calendar. I love the beach scene and the fact that you made this card!

@scoutingbear sends a Native American card for my June theme of Honor. I have just learned so much more about the Native Americans from my vacation.

@sleepykitty sends a card that says “Hello Friend” on it. Your vacation sounds great! I enjoyed my vacation for the most part, but we would stay two nights, move on, stay two nights, move on…ugh. It got old, fast.

@Angeldreamer sends a card of Mount Rushmore. Honestly, I was there on Tuesday! My vacation this year was in Utah, Montana, Idaho, and Wyoming. What a fun coincidence!

@Appaloosa05 sends a hand painted UP card! I LOVE IT!! Did you bike to meet your husband for ice cream? If so, what flavor did you get? I am in love with the huckleberry ice cream I got in Wyoming. So delicious!

@MystiqueDeep sends a card from Idaho State University. College costs are so high, but remember that it is all about the memories.

@durangirl sends a fun card from London of the River Thames with Big Ben and the London Eye. You mentioned your son and his Master’s…I teach at UA Little Rock in the Department of Earth Sciences!

@hootnoodle sends a fun mermaid crossing postcard. This made me laugh out loud. Your tour sounds fabulous! Isn’t travel fabulous?!

@anon57710398 I love this card from the Parthenon in Nashville! Her eyes and the pendant she’s wearing are a bit scary though…haha.

@Ukucaitie sends a fun card that reminds me to laugh. The story of your cats and the paper ball brought a smile to my face. I can just see them skittering around.

@gabi_m sends a card from Indiana Dunes National Park. I love that you stamped the card with the national park stamp. I did the same thing on my recent trip!

@clouisesz sends a fabulous art-deco card with a woman in her finery. I hope that you had fun playing pickleball!

@ellistrations sends a fun facts card about jellyfish! They really are aliens…haha

@jeffweiss sends a card from Dungeons & Dragons. The ink is such an interesting color and I can see why it reminded the maker of wasps. Gorgeous!

@Yarn-Lady sends a recipe card for Sausage and Leek Soup. Okay, this sounds delicious. Soup is one of my favorite meals. I have to go to the store tomorrow and will definitely pick up some sausage and leeks!

@anon68172931 sends a card from Ha Ha Tonka State Park. I love participating in these groups, too. There is always an opportunity to learn.

@salemhouse sends a card from Newport Beach in California. I have always wanted to attend a quilt show. I hope that you had a great time!

@steresem sends a Banksy Poster card of a girl under a SMILE sign. What an interesting fact about the son Silvery Rain. I am going to have to see if I can find this on YouTube to listen to.

@uconn sends a card of the Queen’s Royal Hussars. I’m so glad you got some good stuff at the Farmer’s Market. I need to head down to ours this weekend. After being on vacation I have zero fruits and veggies in the house except for a couple of frozen bags. That simply will not do…haha.

@TandemStoker sends a card of two young children playing in the sand on the beach. I love when you share your memories because they always bring about some of my own.

@JudyFL sends a card from Arlington National Cemetery for my June theme of Honor. WOW…I’m so honored that you watch my videos and that they helped you find your way to this group. They really are such a fun bunch of people. I will definitely check out the video that you recommended…and watch for your postcard this next week on my channel!!

@TwoDoggies sends a card of the 178 pound Hope watermelon! This card is hilarious, and you are right about the woman in the picture. Can you imagine having to get your photo taken with this thing? HAHA

@ljbbauer sends a card with a beautiful purple starfish. What a fun memory of your dress - and what a special friend to have made it for you!

And how’s that for update #1! whew

[durangirl]

Group 1500

@BarbL sends a Harry Potter postcard from the Goblet of Fire, I love how Neville evolved into a strong person! I hope your husband is recovering well!

@sleepykitty sends a postal friendship hug! I will be home all summer trying to keep cool. It sounds like you had a wonderful trip!

@Cruzin made my daughters day with this Keroppi postcard! Those are great stickers, I just googles and they have recently opened a 5 or below about 15 miles from here…may have to check it out!

[ljbbauer]

Three more for 1500:
@Appaloosa05 This is the best giraffe ever! No worries about the slide from quirky to bizarre. I love it! Thank you.

@treeclimber A crowd of smiley faces. How groovy that you were able to spend some time sketching and painting with friends. Thank you!

@scoutingbear This blows. Gets blown. Whatever. Ha! Our pets all have ways of pushing our guilt buttons, eh?

@treeclimber Thank you for the fun smiley face card! It’s neat that you were able to finish a painting. I haven’t painting anything larger than a postcard in many years.

@TandemStoker Thanks for the Colorado map. I have never heard of the show Yellowstone before, but it sounds interesting.

@uconn Thanks for the fun old pelican card. Those pelicans look like such beggars. Hopefully you have had some nicer weather lately.

@Appaloosa05 Wow, and handpainted card! Thank you so much! It’s beautiful! We don’t have a lot of wetlands where I live. It’s a lot more like desert here.

@durangirl This card made me smile, surfing looks like so much fun! 105 degrees, oh my. It was in the 90s for a few days here, and I loved every single ray of sun, but 105 just might do me in. Love the stickers you used and the space postage stamp. Thank you so much.

@JudyFL This postcard is adorable, and I like the way you decorated it. Especially the “interesting” mermaid sticker. Your Canada car trip sounds fun. I’d like to do the Canadian Rockies by train, so I don’t get lost. I’ve been told I couldn’t find my way out of a paper bag. You could say I’m quite directionally challenged.

@maleko Thank you for this super cool postcard! I don’t know what this kind is called, but I love it! A voice scholarship sounds interesting, what kind of music did/do you sing? I sang in several kinds of choirs with my dad when I was a teenager, and it was always fun.

@salemhouse I love the Wasatch Mountains, so beautiful! I used to do a weekend contra dance camp there every summer. It was quite interesting to dance 10 hours a day at 9000 ft altitude. It was like learning to breathe all over again, lol. One year it was 90 degrees during the day, in the middle of the night there was a torrential rain storm that washed out all the tents, and the next morning it was snowing when we woke up. Such crazy weather! Thanks for this card, it brings back good memories.

@clouisesz Pickle ball! I’ve heard about that a lot lately, but I have no idea what it is. It’s one of the events in the Washington State Senior Games, which are about to begin. This year that’s one of the events I’ll make sure I get to.

@ljbbauer Thank you for this book card. Book Thief is in that stack, and I really enjoyed reading that book. Yeah, I know what you mean about not having as much time as you’d like for crafting. I just retired this year, and I’m loving having more time for the things I love doing.

@MystiqueDeep My city is doing an interactive Alice in Wonderland event this summer. You sign up in groups of 6. The downtown streets will be closed, because they’re being used as part of the game. It’s going to be kind of like an escape room, but it’s outdoors, and everyone will be dressed as characters. I’m gonna hang out downtown that day and just watch.

@SincerelySel Ha ha yeah, the Franken Decks are fun. I don’t know if I mentioned it in my profile, but the swaps I’ve been doing are through Swap-Bot, a free app. Thank you for the gladiola card, it’s very pretty.
