ITS HERE!

It is here! The first postcard to come back has arrive only a few days ago and it is here and ready for posting this very minute.
It is Postcard #51, which is one of zottepark's, and it came from New Hampshire, USA.

I am please to bring you pictures of the front and back:


This is the Front and it is some handwriting and a coffee stain.
=) It says:

"Celebrate Yourself! Love Yourself! Sitting in a small diner in Bradford, NH. Thinking of the weekend's birthday celebrations. Are birthdays only for the young? why are adults left out even when they are people and love ones around? Do adults need special requests for birthdays? I can dwell on the questions or I can move past to positivity. So when it comes to birthdays for adults love yourself enough to celebrate (Coffee stain!) and ask for what you deserve!"

Here is the back, which kind of just has a doodle on it:



And here is a picture of the beginning of the poem which should be up in a few days. I have decided that it will be a Sestina. The first deserves a longer form of poetry.



Like my Watermark image?
I knew you would. =D

The Template!

Because technically it is the next day, and that wouldnt be nearly as sad posting two days in a row as it would be two posts in one day!

Anyways!
AS PROMISED!

Here is the template for the postcards in a pdf format.
They should be printed on a thicker paper if you can manage it, and preferably cut down to roughly 4.5 by 6 inches. Give a few I mean whatever you feel is best. The bigger the more I have to work with. But bigger may also mean more postage.

The ones that I have printed out are printed at Staples on a 65Ibs cardstock in black and white, trimmed out to the above proportions. Nothing fancy... if you want to print in colour by all means.
Where I live it is .10 cents a page black and white, plus .07 cents for 65Ibs. paper. With a rough cost of .17 cents for two cards. I trim them out myself and there is no rush on printing... some stores may have express pricing so please do not assume your Staples or any other local print shop will have the same prices as above. It may even work out cheaper for you to print at home I don't know. I am not a price expert.

The link above will take you to a site, scroll to the bottom and click download with basic or what have you. Then it takes about 30 seconds and gives you the button to click to download. Lots of ads and what not but just ignore them they don't insist on you clicking on anything. If anyone knows of a site that hosts without the hassel of an obnoxious countdown on the top then let me know, until then just follow those directions. =)

Nothing As Of Yet

The title says it all.
Although nothing has come through the mail to me yet, I am not regretting spending money on a post box. Nope Not at All.

But switching topics!
The Habs won today in Game 7 in the most unlikely upset I have seen in a number of year.
First the Habs raced past Ovechkin and his Capitals.... something that no one expected given that the Canadians were much lower in the standings compared to Ovie. But they prevailed and they beat the Capitals in game seven, moving on to go against Crosby and his penguins. Of course no one expected last year's Stanely Cup Champions to fall to a team that is supposedly worse than them. but the Habs came back! And beat the Penguins in game seven by an upset of 5 to 2!
And we all know that when in doubt of your Canadian Team.... like mine... the Canucks who lost again and will not be passing round 2, you always cheer for the next Canadian Team!
So Woooohooo Habs!

I love my Canucks don't get me wrong but if the Habs get through then Im all for them.
They tried hard my Canucks, but a fair bit of injuries occurred so no worries my Canucks <3 There is always next year.

Hopefully I dont have to wait till next year for some mail!

Bon Voyage!

So the postcards have started their journeys!
I have sent ten to some of the best and creative vloggers:

• BarryAlderidge
• LaughItsGoodForYou
  
• MattNebula
  
• outofthedark
• SaithJC
• zottepark

And sent invites to the best to push my postcards so hopefully we will be receiving some soon.
They are already going around the world, now they just have to make their way back to good
old Canada. Well... outofthedark isn't out of the country, just a handful of hours away but I mean... the postcard still has to travel!

So I have postcards 80 or so 120 still available for Canadian Postage.
I have sent out as much as I can out of the continent but I may be able to swing some US.
I can send you the postcards... just not guarantee that the postage for the return will be paid.

Or You can also send me a postcard, made by yourself or from anywhere to the great Post Box that I have acquired:

P.O. Box 21032
Orchard Park P.O.L.
Kelowna, BC, V1Y 9N8

Welsh, I am going to go back to watching the worlds most painful and corniest Gossip Girl episode and we shall chat later, hopefully with my first postcard!

Ciao!

The Project

Here's how this is going to play out
-At least the way I think it is suppose to

So I have printed around 200 post cards
the
first 150 will come with paid postage
They all depict the same information on the back
which tells you what to do.
Basically the front of the postcard where there would normally be a picture is completely blank, this is the area for you to put whatever your heart contends. Similar to Post Secret only with that you wrote secrets, this can be anything. Doodles, drawings, poems, notes. Anything.
There is also a spot on the back for anything else you wish to add.
But personal information is not allowed. If you want you can put your state, or country but no names, addresses, ages, etc. All of that does not matter and I do not need to know. These postcards are to serve me as imagination of sorts. I have had writer's block for awhile now and haven' had any creative way to think until now!
For each postcard that comes in I will be writing a poem. Hopefully by the end of the summer I will have a book full of poems.
Of course this is your choice to send me your postcard and once the postcard passes into my postal box it becomes mine to use. You dont have to send me your drawings, but in the even that you do not fee like doing the postcard please pass it on to someone else. =) I would like at least 100 post cards back. For 100 poems, and 100 thoughts.
