Postcard #57!

Last one for this evening as I am falling asleep and as it turns out I do not have pictures of the others at this point in time... is #57! Which is the first in a five card batch given to one of my previous professors who is a well published and liked poet but I will refrain from telling you who.

Since receiving this card I have received two others from this bunch but - as I mentioned - I do not have pictures yet =) Which is an easy fix I know but at the same time you have no idea how dead tired I am. I am surprised that I can type as fast as I can right now - even though it is substantially slower than normal and there are many more spelling errors that requre backsapcing. <-- like that.. thought Id leave you one.

Here you are! Postcard 57:

Postcards 54-55-56

Postcards 54-55-56 all come from a subscriber out in Europe.
There are some words on the back of the postcards but I have chosen not to post them as they are slightly inappropriate.

POSTCARDS! 45-46-47-48-49

Huzzah! More Cards as promised!

These are cards 45-49 which come from another friend of the family.
These postcards are just written on the inside of the card but they are thought provoking in a good way =)

Postcards 35 - 44

Postcards 35 through to 44 come from my beautiful friend and the talented artistry of my nephew, her son, Dominick. These cards - although you can tell which ones she had a hand in doing - are unique and colourful and they really made my day when they came through. I have been holding myself back from interacting with them as much as I would like to ( as you will see ) because I knew that I had to still take pictures and post them! So instead I left them alone and will act on my desires tomorrow!

So Here We Go:

  

They are in order from left to right, top to down!

Thanks lovelies =)

Postcard 30

This postcard is actually a handmade postcard which first arrived at some point in the last year.
Coming from a fan this postcard takes on the physical conception of what I started this project in the first place similar to those cards which I received in the beginning. It a postcard in all aspects but it was formed in a unique way and crafted by someone who just felt the urge.

It reminds me of Dobby too which is amazing! And one more thing, and this goes out to the postcard creator:

Dear Thompson, Manitoba:
I am sorry it took this long to post your card - but never the less I am so glad that you decided to send it!


Without further adieu, check out this masterpiece:

Postcard 29

Post Card 29 is the last of the postcards from a family friend family-ish group. It is a family that are friends of my family... I suppose I should have just said that in the first place. They pretty much explain themselves so here is the front and back:

POSTCARD 27 & 28!!

Postcard 27 Front!!

BACK!!

POSTCARD 28!!

BACK!!

Again from the set that I was sent from family friends! I think there are a few more and then I will upload newer stuff - I just won't until I finish my selling training but I can't get into it just yet.

POSTCARD 26!

BACK!

FRONT!

This was the first of a bunch of cards that I received from a family that are friends with my family. They sent me postcards from across the US! Going to post them all up - the front's are public images from whoever made them so they won't have Alex's face on them. =)

Postcard #25

Here is the elusive Postcard #25!!

Here is the Front of the Card:


& The Back of the Card:
This is obviously another card from the mystery Postcard-er but Being that I talked to her yesterday about sending me more cards I would say that I have figured it out. Of course it wasn't until I saw this that I was certain of who it was. AND that receipt postcard totally through me off.

Hope you are inspired to send me more cards!!
Because I need them =D !

I have just finished two more!

Two more poems have been completed!
I now have postcards 1-6 poemized! 4 to go... and just imagine if I had received them all back already! Oh Dear!

Poem for Postcard 4 is a Sonnet about my lovely province
Poem for Postcard 5 is an acrostic of sorts
Poem for Postcard 6 is back to the basics =)

Here is the lovely postcard 5 which is again handmade, from Canada, and from our mystery sender with the fishes.



Postcard number 6 is a postcard all the way from New Zealand! From Jared Campbell, who wants to travel here which is so funny because I almost went to New Zealand this summer because I have a hankering to go there! I added the picture of the back because you can see the New Zealand postmark across the top right.




Postcard number 7 is back to being from the stash sent to Tennesse! Which, at the moment, is the batch that has sent the most back! This one has a cool We Are Nashville slogan and almost shameless self advertising (Heart)




Postcard number 8 is again from Tennesse and this time depicts more of the hand drawn suit. I did not take a picture of the back as there was nothing, and not even the stamp had been marked so I suppose I could reuse it =)



More postcards uploaded tomorrow!
I promise! But for now it is now 4 in the morning and I need to sleep before I get to drive Alex to work... as I need the van!

ttfn =)

New Postcards have arrived~

Postcards 2 and 3 and 4 have arrived...
well the second and third and fourth ones to arrive have arrived.

One was sent in locally from one of the postcards that I handed out to a friend from work
See his handy work here:





And the other two came in mysteriously.... hand made from home not a part of my jazz!
Stoked for these two.

Here is one with a part of a note of some sort...


And the back:



And here is the other with CLUE!



Clue came in second, the piece of a note came in third, and BC in fourth.
So we are well on our way through the madness and I have completed the Sestina for postcard 1
Congratulations we are off to a great start!
Now I just need to write more.

(June 21: Pictures Up!)

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. =)
