Thanks all, I've got a great set of cards thank you. Including a quaint reminder of living in Japan:

'We are very sorry, but this item got wet, so we had to dry it for you. Best wishes Narita Post Office.'

now that's service!

original_ann · « **Reply #202 on:** September 13, 2011, 03:18:52 PM »

Thanks to everyone as well - I love my postcards and I hope to soon be sending mine out. I'm normally quite prompt however I returned from a month away to a HUGE plumbing issue that has taken virtually all of my free time. Ah, the joys of owning an old home!

LT · « **Reply #203 on:** September 13, 2011, 04:37:18 PM »

Old? Do you actually have old homes in the New World?

Phil Bebbington · « **Reply #204 on:** September 13, 2011, 05:35:17 PM »

Well, mine arrived today so now I can post them!

original_ann · « **Reply #205 on:** September 14, 2011, 02:49:07 AM »

Leon this is a NOT an old home by UK/european standards. But 1940 is considered 'not new' here in the US.

jojonas~ · « **Reply #206 on:** September 15, 2011, 07:37:47 AM »

hi all! I just wanted to check up on this..
if anyone that's on my list haven't recieved a postcard yet, please let me know!
I'm guessing most should have reached their new homes by now.

I sent the ones to the list out on the 12th of august
and the last extras were sent out on the 26th.

if anyone is left without that should have gotten one from me, I'll send another by the end of this month. in an envelope this time

johann · « **Reply #207 on:** September 15, 2011, 03:43:11 PM »

Has anyone received any of mine ?

tkmedia · « **Reply #208 on:** September 16, 2011, 03:17:59 AM »

I have not received any from

Chricel Portela
Roger Thoms
Randy Babajtis

anyone have photo cards from the above?

johann · « **Reply #209 on:** September 16, 2011, 07:46:53 AM »

Neither do I, tkmedia.
I can assume that you received mine. Good to know.

tkmedia · « **Reply #210 on:** September 17, 2011, 04:41:34 AM »

your assumption is correct. Retrieved yours from the bin in the beginning of the month iirc. It was sandwiched between some adverts.

Late Developer · « **Reply #211 on:** September 18, 2011, 10:00:56 AM »

Just been checking my lovely postcards. So far, I've received seven, from:

- Jojonas
- Otto K
- TKMedia
- Astrobeck
- Karl Chapman
- Johan Watzke
- LeonY

If anyone else has sent me any, I haven't received them yet....

Randy B · « **Reply #212 on:** September 26, 2011, 07:23:47 PM »

Sorry for the delay everyone. I got some printed and didn't like them so I got them printed again. I'll get them out tonight. I got everyone else's though and they look great. Thanks!

chricela · « **Reply #213 on:** September 27, 2011, 07:50:31 PM »

Becky, Diane, Leon Y, Tony, Karl C, Otto, Jonas, Johann, & Paul....Thank you for the amazing postcards!
I love the exchange.
I am currently printing mine to all of you & a few others. & they will be mailed before Sept. 30th.

All you're postcards are on my fridge

Diane Peterson · « **Reply #214 on:** September 28, 2011, 08:07:06 PM »

Chricel..I would love to see how your frig looks with all the postcards...wouldn't that make a great postcard??

mikeg · « **Reply #215 on:** September 28, 2011, 10:52:39 PM »

Many thanks to everyone that's sent me a postcard. Life's been really hectic, so I'm running a bit late. However, the cards are printed and are waiting labelling and posting. I should be able to get them out by the end of the week.

Cheers

Mike

chricela · « **Reply #216 on:** September 28, 2011, 11:12:25 PM »

Diane, I'm just gonna have to do that now!!
lol
I went to the post this am. All of mine are sent

tkmedia · « **Reply #217 on:** September 29, 2011, 06:11:15 AM »

just wondering has any groups "finished" the exchange?

Francois · « **Reply #218 on:** September 29, 2011, 03:49:30 PM »

I don't know... I'm still missing three cards.

LT · « **Reply #219 on:** September 29, 2011, 04:09:40 PM »

I'm missing three also Francois, and as we were in the same group ... I imagine they a will be the same three. C'mon guys - pull yer socks up, get your skates on, put the pedal to the metal, and so on and so forth.

Phil Bebbington · « **Reply #220 on:** September 29, 2011, 07:25:16 PM »

Mine will be in the post tomorrow. I have no idea why I have sat on them for a week, but, it does seem in character!

They WILL be in the post tomorrow.

Phil Bebbington · « **Reply #221 on:** September 30, 2011, 05:19:58 PM »

Okay, ALL of mine are in the post!

Suzi Livingstone · « **Reply #222 on:** September 30, 2011, 06:40:08 PM »

Did everyone on my list get one of my postcards? I think I'm also missing a few but in typical fashion I have lost the list and don;t know who

I know I got cards from Skorj/Francois/Diane/Alan/Charlotte/Britt

I'm sure my postman has eaten the rest.

Britt Aximon · « **Reply #223 on:** September 30, 2011, 06:55:07 PM »

Yes, I got from you, Suzi! I also got from Skorj, Francois, Alan, Leon, Charlotte, Harvey and Diane. And extras from Becky and Jojonas.

Seems like it is from Ailsa, Ed and Vicky I'm still looking forwad to

Anyone of you missing card from me, please let me know! Got a few spare left.

Francois · « **Reply #224 on:** September 30, 2011, 08:21:41 PM »

Same for me. If anyone is missing mine, just let me know and I'll send a new one over.

tkmedia · « **Reply #225 on:** October 01, 2011, 02:28:26 AM »

vicky slater · « **Reply #226 on:** October 06, 2011, 11:19:41 AM »

Thanks everyone for the wonderful cards!
I'm at last sending mine off today...at least it's still 2011 :)

Late Developer · « **Reply #227 on:** October 07, 2011, 12:16:05 AM »

+1 for a beautiful card from Chricel Portela.

original_ann · « **Reply #228 on:** October 07, 2011, 04:07:57 PM »

Hello all, it's me HORRIFIED. I am sitting on my stack right now. I will face the lines this weekend at the Post Office and get them out!

Phil Bebbington · « **Reply #229 on:** October 07, 2011, 04:31:30 PM »

Ann, I only just beat you. I sometimes wonder if I have a forward gear as I always seem in reverse!

Just located my long lost cards which I printed well before the addresses were sent out and before I moved. I'll get them addressed and in the mail this weekend. Sorry for the long delay.

Also thanks to everyone formthe great cards, some outstanding work!!!

Roger

original_ann · « **Reply #232 on:** October 08, 2011, 03:44:45 AM »

Phil I love yours! Mine are on their way. Went straight to the post office after work. I'm now only semi-horrified.

Suzi Livingstone · « **Reply #233 on:** October 08, 2011, 07:54:34 PM »

I've now received wonderful cards from
Skorj/Francois/Diane/Alan/Charlotte/Britt/Vicky

I don't know who else was in my group as I lost the list.. anyway these all look great in my new postcard album - thanks!

LT · « **Reply #234 on:** October 09, 2011, 10:36:07 AM »

Suzi - i definitely sent you one back in August! Cant believe they made it all the way to Canadia and "Merica but not 50 miles up the M2! Bloody Royal Mail.

Francois · « **Reply #235 on:** October 09, 2011, 02:33:20 PM »

Vicky, I got from you today! Thank you so much. And... the wierd thing is. The person in the photo looks just like my son! It's identical! Even he asked how he could be in that photo! Scary and wonderful. Love it!!!

Nigel · « **Reply #239 on:** October 11, 2011, 08:36:13 PM »

Thank you everyone! I've been a bit tardy about dropping in here, but I really do appreciate receiving them. All the shots are so great I really feel a little embarrassed about my effort (it's the thought that counts though - keep telling yourselves that!).

Apologies if this has been said already but it would be great if everyone posted a shot of their card so we could see how the ones we didn't get look - does that make sense?

(I think they're 'known unknowns')

astrobeck · « **Reply #240 on:** October 11, 2011, 09:55:51 PM »

Received two wonderful cards today!
One from Ann and one from Mike!
I love them both.

Must say that all of the cards are such a treat to look at and I think this was one of the best postcard exchanges yet!

Thanks to all! I am in total bliss being surrounded by such a talented group.

Roger Thoms · « **Reply #241 on:** October 12, 2011, 01:32:30 AM »

Ok folks, it's official, I finally got my post cards in the mail. I apologize for being so late and for the computer printed labels. As much as I enjoy getting the hand written cards I felt it was better to print labels as my hand writing sucks.

Roger

LT · « **Reply #242 on:** October 12, 2011, 09:11:07 AM »

I've got a lovely card from Vicky, and some cards from people who weren't even in my group. Thanks All!

I'll think I'll do that

many of my postcards were damaged but I still love them all~

vicky slater · « **Reply #244 on:** October 12, 2011, 01:31:21 PM »

Axia, so weird, it's actually a picture of my son from this summer :)

Glad you liked it Leon!

I'll post it here if that's what we're doing...?

Late Developer · « **Reply #245 on:** October 12, 2011, 07:17:24 PM »

Here's mine. Nikon F100 / Velvia / Tripod / Ashridge Estate near Berkhamstead on Herts / Bucks border.

Britt Aximon · « **Reply #246 on:** October 12, 2011, 07:24:26 PM »

And this is mine. My first pinhole cam.

Nick Moys · « **Reply #247 on:** October 12, 2011, 09:19:44 PM »

Received my last postcard this week - what a treat to get such interesting photos all through the summer from fellow film nuts from all around the world. As a first timer, I have thoroughly enjoyed the experience, and would recommend to all.
I couldn't decide on one image to send, so had a selection printed by MOO. Still couldn't decide so ended up sending different cards to everyone on my list!
Thanks to all for the lovely cards.

Nick

Thank you for posting your lovely postcard images.

Now we know what we've been missing and may encourage more of us to join in next time.

Mike

Britt Aximon · « **Reply #249 on:** October 13, 2011, 07:49:44 PM »

As I'm an absolute beginner, I have to say this was very joyable. Loved receiving postcard from all over the world, and the cards was so great. Please, cant we do this again?
