Not all of the postcards will be Valentine themed. On the first post there is a list of all the wacky holidays in February. Someone could have maybe picked a holiday in the beginning of February where I picked one that is towards the end of February. It will be exciting checking the mail because we don't really know which holiday will be picked for us.

I'm so glad I tried a postcard. They're so much fun!

Judee,
I love the Cherry pie card.. that is just too cute. Good job Chele :!:

collettakay 02-22-2009 02:36 PM

These are really cute!!! I sent mine out yesterday.

Moonpi 02-22-2009 04:42 PM

Cherry pie is always great - love your interpretation!

May in Jersey 02-23-2009 08:19 AM

Oh, can I have a piece of the cherry pie? LOL! I love seeing the postcards everyone came up with, hope everyone posts a photo of theirs. I mailed the one I made for Colletta on the 6th before we left for a visit to our son in CA, hope she received it. Need to find the photo and post it. It's somewhere on our computer which crashed just before we left. PC repair guy said he saved all our 'stuff' so I have to look for it. May in Jersey

Hi,
I was in that swap. Here is a link to the site that gives you the Unique days to choose from. If you want to start another one, I am in or can start one. Each month has a listing on this site, so pick a good month.
