Tim's beautiful card arrived yesterday. Love the picture.

Bryan · « **Reply #54 on:** April 10, 2021, 06:51:07 PM »

Just took my first batch to the post office today. Haven’t had any show up yet, probably because the Post Office has been extra slow lately.

In receipt of Tim's lovely Diana shot... a splendid start to proceedings.

I've yet to make my final image choice, but have whittled down to a shortlist of 2.
In previous years I've printed at home, but this year I've decided to give Moo a try... should have a final choice and image sent to print in the next few days.

I received Leanne's card today a new surprise after a crappy day at work - so thank you very much.
I couldn't choice between to two shots so I printed them both and they'll arrive by envelope.

astrobeck · « **Reply #61 on:** April 13, 2021, 08:46:06 PM »

Received a cool one from Bryan! Wow!

I’m glad you liked that Becky, just got your card today and Tim’s card, both very nice cards. Becky, I’m not sure how you got that effect but it’s really cool. If you like my first card I think you’ll like the second one as well. I hope to get them mailed this weekend. It’s been a very busy week for me, so I haven’t had a chance to work on them. I feel like all I’ve done is drive all over Washington and Oregon for work, hopefully I got a few good shots out of it.

I happened to have the same thing happen to me today.
I also had Christian's card come through the letterbox Thursday, so many thanks to you both

kentish cob · « **Reply #68 on:** April 17, 2021, 12:15:46 PM »

The past few days have brought cards from Leanne, Christian and Bryan... Thanks all.

I managed to get the ducks lined up and chose my image... Moo are set to deliver my box of cards next week. Then the biggest challenge... try to write something legible on them..!

Kai-san · « **Reply #69 on:** April 17, 2021, 04:00:01 PM »

I've received two lovely cards from Tim and Christian, thanks to both! Mine are ready to be scribbled on, will go in the post on Monday.

Hi Irv! Your lovely cards arrived today. Thanks, mate! 😀

ManuelL · « **Reply #71 on:** April 18, 2021, 08:24:16 AM »

Got some beautiful cards from Leanne and Irv this week.

Always makes me happy to find another card in my post box and it is great to share your work with my family.

LEAFotography · « **Reply #72 on:** April 19, 2021, 09:59:42 AM »

I've just received two fabulous prints from Irv this morning! Thank you so much

And I now have my selection ready for the printers, so hopefully will be in the post later this week.

cs1 · « **Reply #73 on:** April 19, 2021, 03:39:40 PM »

I found Bryan's and Becky's postcards in my mailbox today. Thank you very much for the lovely cards, guys!

leanne · « **Reply #74 on:** April 19, 2021, 04:15:19 PM »

a swirly-sky Becky card arrived today! Hooray!

Bryan · « **Reply #75 on:** April 19, 2021, 06:16:38 PM »

I shipped my second batch over the weekend so everyone should get two cards from me.

irv_b · « **Reply #76 on:** April 19, 2021, 06:47:41 PM »

The first colour postcard came through the door today and it was from Becky. Thank you so much it's a lovely card to receive.

Kai-san · « **Reply #77 on:** April 19, 2021, 09:57:10 PM »

Mine went into the post this morning, but now I see that some people are sending two cards. Did I miss out on something here? What are the rules (if any)? Not that I would mind sending another card, I would be very happy to keep the postal services busy. The government is just looking for excuses to shut it down.

I only sent two cards because I wanted to. Nobody is expected to send more than one.

LEAFotography · « **Reply #79 on:** April 20, 2021, 04:39:25 PM »

I got a fab and starry card from Becky today, thank you!

I've now got my cards, and stamps, so should be in the post tomorrow, both UK and overseas!

cs1 · « **Reply #80 on:** April 20, 2021, 06:44:13 PM »

Manuel's lovely forest scene postcard arrived today.

zapsnaps · « **Reply #81 on:** April 21, 2021, 04:56:31 PM »

My cards arrived from the printer today. The UK ones were posted this afternoon, RoW will be posted on Friday.
Thank you to all who have sent them to me so far, but I especially like the one from AstroBeck& LEAFotography. If you haven't seen them yet, you are in for a treat!

Par4cm · « **Reply #82 on:** April 21, 2021, 06:20:40 PM »

Postcards have arrived from Bryan, Christian, Irv, Becky & Andy. All wonderfully different.

LEAFotography · « **Reply #83 on:** April 21, 2021, 07:02:19 PM »

Mine all went in the post today! Hopefully the UK ones will arrive in a few days, unsure how long to Europe and North America!

And after my "guestimation" went awry, I have two extra stamps and cards for overseas...I think there's another thread where I should offer that up...

"You got another bug!"
-My wife, yesterday

Thanks for all the postcards sent so far; they are wonderful! I have mine all printed and will mail them out as soon as my postage stamps arrive; should be early next week.

kentish cob · « **Reply #89 on:** April 24, 2021, 10:23:29 AM »

Coming through thick and fast now... Irv's "twin pack", earlier in the week, and Bryan's 2nd, followed by cards from Manuel, Andy, Kai, David, and the only colour so far from Becky.

Thanks all, for a wonderfully diverse crop.

Just taken a break from scribbling mine... writers cramp - seems we're no longer used to wielding a pen for extended periods.
Will take a stroll to the post box a little later.

irv_b · « **Reply #90 on:** April 24, 2021, 10:51:21 AM »

A thankyou catch up to you guys whose card I received this week
Bryan's microscopic Water Boatman.
David's lustful car print.
Andy's Diagonal shot -lovely tones from the Paranol S.
Manuel's super sharp forest shot.
Excellence all round.

Harvey · « **Reply #91 on:** April 24, 2021, 03:49:12 PM »

Mine are now posted. It’s been a fantastic exchange, so much variety from such a gifted bunch of folk. A great idea to run this event again. Thank you all for the inspiration.

astrobeck · « **Reply #92 on:** April 24, 2021, 05:27:39 PM »

more lovely cards today!
A nice one from Leanne and a pair from Irv, plus another bug from Bryan.
Bryan the info on what kind of bug was smeared from the postal sorter, so I'm guessing it's a flea of some sort?

I love all my cards. They are all great and I have then on the coffee table to admire.

Becky, it's a Nymph Water Boatman, also known as a Backswimmer or the scientific name Notonecta. You've probably seen them swimming in ponds, they are quite common.

Good to hear that the cards are starting to arrive, and that you like them! Leanne's beautiful seafront card arrived this week, thanks! Looks like we got a lot to look forward to next week! We should do this more often!

Kai-san · « **Reply #96 on:** April 26, 2021, 09:46:20 AM »

This morning's post brought a lovely forest scene from Manuel and a nice lake district view plus a pennyfarthing rider from Irv. Thank you both!

Cards are flooding in now, almost a new one each day. in the last week I've got them from Christian, Leanne, Manuel and two from Irv. All great cards, my wife and I both get excited to see them in the mail.

Just received word that my postcards have been printed and are on their way. Have ordered domestic and international stamps and am looking forward to sending them out. In the meantime I have received some excellent cards from AstroBeck, Bryan, Tim and Leanne. Thank you all, these are great and I'm excited to have a wall of Filmwaster's work over my desk at home.
