ZZZZZZZZZZZ

SERIOUSLY!
JUST
HAD
AN
EPIPHANY
OF
WHO
THE
MYSTERY
POSTCARD-ER
IS!

Another One....

So of course I had already altered the images so that the water mark was present....
Sorry Marla, I will definitely tune it down for the next batch.

I am hoping to post 60 billion cards... not really.
a) Id need to have that many sent in
b) that would be a lot of work.

On the flipside though I am being published again! Woohoo. In a Canadian Poetry anthology which is very cool I think.

Ok back into postcards.

Postcard number 17:

Back


Front


Aha, this postcard is pretty awesome. I know you can't tell very well but that black squiggly line is not drawn on but instead cut out. Which freaked me out when I saw it because I was very tired and I had no idea how it worked... which of course seems so obvious now.
I actually looked up this quote and read the interview/piece it was on... I encourage you to go read it.. if your into that sort of thing.. you can find it here: http://thesixohfour.com/2006/05/14/sherwin-tija/

Ok I need to post this, make apple cider, set up bones, post again, and got to work early so that I can photocopy everything I am sending out in the mail for scholarships.

=)

The day that is today and not tomorrow

So after a few days of being MIA, a death, and most recently a funeral, I have realized that I have not a) posted on here, or b) checked my post box in sometime.
So I am beating the evil that is procrastination and am typing this five seconds after I realized my absence. As for the post box... who knows if I will get to that today. There is so much to do!

And Im not kidding.

First meeting of brownies is tonight.

Which means meeting new parents, prospective brownies and giving off the best impression you ever could to ensure that they like you! I have heard from a fair few that I am an extremely lovable leader but never the less I need to make sure that the new batch loves me just as much.

So I went through the normal making yourself feel good routines: shower, fancy bath gel, cut nails, blow dried my hair

>.> EGADS
I never blow dry my hair for those that know me because it takes about an hour to two hours and it is quite a pain!

And am now sitting... ready for brownies... about 4 hours in advanced.
Still I need to pack up the van with all my glorious wonders.
Pick up the news letters.
Load more boxes into the van.
Cut some sheets.
Drive around.
Get to building early.
Switch out keys apparently.
Set up.. and by set up I mean take down the twenty tables they have set up.
And nervously wait hoping that they like us. =)

Oh! and Im having lunch with Alex at Three!
Almost there I dare say.

I suppose I will now go move the van and bring it closer to the house so I may pack it up with craft junk =) How I love craft junk.

Best Wishes! And I will update more postcards as soon as I can! Maybe tonight... although not likely.

Further More

So we have cards 1-14 now up here and we still need pictures of the next ten.
Hey, who knows, maybe there will be ten more by the time I post all of these and have poems written, or maybe there will be ten on Friday when I go to check the mailbox.

So send away my friends, and until then here are the rest of the posse. As always, if there is only one side it is because the other had nothing written or drawn on it =)

Postcard #15
Here is the Front:

And Here is the back:


Postcard number fifteen comes from one of my fellow Staples employees, and good friend Christina. You can read her little jitter above and comment or you can read her jitter and be inspired to send your own, whatever works for you... maybe the second one. =)
Thanks Christina!

Postcard #16 is up next,
Here is the Front:


And here is the back:

Postcard number sixteen comes from an unknown source willing to help out! Woohoo unknown source you rock and thank-you for taking the time to send in a card. We have had anonymous cards sent in before but let me tell you that these cards are the best ones because I did not have to personally shake your hand and ask, they are handmade, and I did not have to harass you at work to send one in. So three cheers!

Id also like to set your focus to the front of the card, the opposite side the address is on.
If you look at the bottom of the card there are two.. perhaps... audio tapes.. that include masturbation in the title..... not sure how I feel about this particular poem yet... soon.

The Cards of Barry Alderidge

Barry Alderidge, one of the greatest youtubers from the UK and here he is sending me postcards for a little poetry craze. Pretty excellent if you are on my end, I hope he had a good time filling out cards because the ones he sent are definitely thought provoking. Despite being simple sentences these lines become wells of memories and concepts. All of this from a little collection of letters.
So here are the first few, the ones that have arrived as I am thinking that the post service may have lost a few of these little things I call cards.

Postcard 11


Postcard 12


Postcard 13


Postcard 14

Mounds of Cards!

Apparently the week I don't check my mail box is the week that I get dozens of cards!
Well not really dozens.
Just a dozen!

A dozen of cards sent in sometime in the week I was on holidays. Some are local and some are from out of the country and I will have an updated list probably after I calculate them all. So..

Oh we now have 24 cards... almost a quarter of my goal! Woohoo!
I now have:

• almost all of Tate/Venture Kids/Eli's cards! 5/8
• Barry! 4/10
• SaithJC 4/10

And Thats it... A bunch of random ones that were hand made, and a few people who have sent in one or two of their cards. Send them in! Send them all!

Here is postcard number 9




And Postcard number 10



Both are from the collection that was sent to Tennessee!


Hold onto your panties! Don't get the knickers in a knot

Because There will be TONS of posts at this point!
Woohoo, multi post.
