Yes I have VA and Ky.

I just got to the PO Box today.

My son is making a fancy dancy spreadsheet to track all this stuff!

Thanks everyone!

We received both of those. Thanks so much! These are really cool postcards. I almost planted prickly pear cactus seeds earlier this year, so the Arizona postcard definitely caught my eye.

Will be sending ours soon. We're a little behind ....*ahem*

We received Washington State today: yeah!  It's the first postcard since Ohio & Arizona in October. 

Thank you!

Still trying to find post cards, I know there are tons of postcard, we live in Colorado after all, but we live in the city not near any tourist stuff. Thursday we'll go looking for some.

[mountainsun]

Yes, we received WA yesterday, as well!  Thank you!  Florida will be going out in the next few days (need to get postcard stamps) 

[samstress]

haven't received any yet.  has the list been updated?

[edwardsmom]

Yours actually went out today from us in VA-  missed you on the last list.

[zebra15]

So far we've received a grand total of four (4).  We sent out 21.(actually 42 since we did 2 states)  I know life gets in the way but this isn't very fun for DS.

I'm going to write this off as a learning experience.

[chfriend]

I'm not on the swap but when we did this, we got them from our local "Visitor's Center" aka the Chamber of Commerce. Your state tourist office can probably send you a batch as well.

would love to be included in this. we live in michigan, in the upper peninsula. my email is [e-mail] if you could send me more detailed info on this and where to send your postcards, and how to recieve one too!

[Stacey B]

A little slow but we just picked up our postcards yesterday., look out for Colorado in the mail soon!

[heatherdeg]

Ugh... we got blindsided with family issues.  You'll be receiving ours (from MN) a bit late!  SORRY!  I know we received a few already and my son is so excited!  Also glad that it gave us a "model" to follow!  :D

[MamaBlessings917]

Would love to do this with my 4yo dd!  She loves learning about the states!  Is it too late?  We live in upstate New York most of the year, but Delaware the rest of the time, so we could do Delaware which you don't have yet!

Hey Kristina!  I pm'd you my address.....I will take Delaware and can send out next week. So excited.  Hope that everyone follows through as this is so great for the kids!

[zebra15]

We got a card from FL on 11/25, I thought it was from here.  So maybe FL is coming Edwards' mom.  We also received, KY, Missouri, Va and WA,  I sent out OH and AZ.   Nothing else has been received.

I honestly gave up any expectation and DS went back to postcrossing.com 

[mamaboss]

Ack! So sorry everyone! Life kind of got in the way and by the time things settled down, I figured I'd wait until after the holidays (kind of assumed that's what everyone else was thinking too as we've only received a few cards. Don't give up just yet!

(We're Utah by the way and we've received WA, OH, AZ & VA.)

[mamaupupup]

:) NV will be sent out the first week or two of January!

[MamaBlessings917]

Hey...haven't heard back from anyone about joining up.  Sent 2 people my address to be added so that we can take DE.  I am leaving in a few days and won't have internet access while there, so want to get everyone's addy to be send the postcards out from DE.  Thanks mamas!

[edwardsmom]

OK everybody:  it's been 4 months since this idea got started.  Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas are behind us.  We're 2 weeks into the New Year, and it's only a month until Valentines.  My kids, and 4 others have sent out bunches of postcards.  We've received 5 back.  5!  Some other people have given up hope, but I guess I'm just a cockeyed optimist.  Help support my addiction to optimism.  Please don't send me to optimists anonomous!
