Kate in Arabia Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 I know we've had some threads on here about trading postcards, but they seem to be limited to US folks. Well, my kids are studying US geography this semester and ds 9 is trying to collect cards from each of the US states -- would anyone be interested in doing an international trade? We've joined a couple of exchange groups for kids and so far have contacts for about half the states, so we've still got a ways to go. My oldest did this years ago and really enjoyed it.. Thanks in advance for any help :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich with Kids Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 We can send some from TX! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Dominion Heather Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 She is great. She had a few rough months, nearly died of a blood infection in St. Petersburg, and had a few cancer related surgeries, but she is doing well now. She would love to come back but school budget cuts are killing everyone's conference travel schedules. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kate in Arabia Posted September 23, 2010 Author Share Posted September 23, 2010 Thanks to everyone who has pm-ed me so far, I'll be sending out cards in a couple of days.. If anyone else is interested, please feel free to drop me a note! Thanks again.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich with Kids Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 My dd9 is excited! I showed her where the postcard was going and she said, "Do we get to go?!?". Let me know if you need an exchange student. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kate in Arabia Posted September 27, 2010 Author Share Posted September 27, 2010 Ds 9 and I mailed a slew of postcards today -- so if you pm-ed me your address your postcard is on it's way! Hard to imagine, but ds had a great time at the post office; it's always nice to be reminded of just how fun such menial tasks can be, lol. If anyone else is interested, we're still looking for people to exchange with, send me a pm! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
