Gosh miriam, you looked up the meaning of an object and it brought forth a word!
Yes I'm with Judith, intriguing!
My word is simple, and redolent of blessings, and I'm not saying what it is. I am starting on my postcard today, happy to relax after the backyard BBQ we threw yesterday. 97 degrees by the Bay...thank god our backyard has shade.
Congratulations Judith on the birth of a new bright little light, happiness all around.

Thank you K-Roll. Sounds like you had a fun weekend.

Congratulations on the new family member!

I'm having a hard time coming up with a word for some reason, but if someone is in the same position as me, and gets me for the swap, I like the words "travel", "explore", "adventure", and "puppy" :P (I'm happy with any word though!)

I'll see if my partner has a special word before I worry that I'm drawing a blank.

Thanks Judith, I will go ahead and post a picture of your swap on the September Postcard link.

Have an idea and a word. Sewing today.

Ladies, please pm each other to exchange addresses. Personal messages only for your safety.

I will be out of town for the next 7 days. 4 of those are drive days and 3 days I get to spend with my grandchildren. I will for the most part off computer. I will do quick check ins when I can off my phone in case you need anything.

Please have fun. And, remember, our hard mail date is the 20th.

I have contacted my partner!

I sent a pm to dotcomdtcm, waiting for reply.

I made my first postcard last night! I like the idea, but really don't like my execution. It's the first time I've fused fabric, and I could have done much better with the background fabric. So, that will be my practice piece, and I have a few "lessons learned" to apply to the remake. Probably won't be able to do it until next weekend, but I'm ready to make it better :)

I just dropped my postcard in the mail.

I have made contact with my partner and we have now exchanged addresses so my Postcard will be in tomorrows mail. First time I have been this early but it is a really nice feeling.

My partner pm'd me and I pm'd her back today...my PC is nearing completion, hooray!
I had a head start because I already had a word.

I spent a day organizing my fabrics, too. When I joined QB last February, I posted how I had no fabric and had gone out to buy scraps of quarter yards. HAHAHA. But seriously folks, now I know what kind of fabric I'm missing (solids or those kind of 'patterned' solids I forget what you call them}.

I'm taking a quilting class. I'm cutting for my first quilt. I was determined to use fabric from what I had. It won't set any design awards: it will be rather bland - it will most certainly not be winning any awards lol. I prefer to call it 'restful'. But perhaps this month's PC will make up for it...I can only hope.

I went to very enjoyable Quilters morning gathering today to hear a wonderful Art Quilt lady speak and to see her magnificent Art Quilts displayed. They were just mind blowing and a privilege to see. I will paste a link to her web site here so you too can enjoy these wonderful quilts made by this very talented lady.

My postcard swap to owlvamp went out in today mail. Hopefully it will be delivered in approximately 10 -14 days.

Hi Judith,
I have sent a P/M to ckcowl vamp with my name and address and looking forward to receiving a card from her. Thanks for all your patience with me as I have tried to get the hang of the swap procedure... Enjoy your grandkid time. It is always special.

Sandy (stashmaker)

Judee0624 I have Pmed you my mailing info please Pm me your info and any favorite words if you have any.

Wow. Each one is better than the first but not really. WOW! Thanks for posting the link.

It looks like I'm the first to receive their postcard. What a nice card with a nice note saying how easy it is to give and that might make a difference in someone's life. Thanks again Kim (lovethemgreys)

Nice post card, I really like it. I have Finished my partners card. I will be mailing soon.

Ladies last year I had posted a message asking that you participate in the request for Christmas cards for the Veterans in the Walter Reed Army Medical center so I am posting this information in case anyone wants to do it this year. The following information came from the WRMMC website.

[TD="class: ms-formbody"]Every year there is a Facebook Post that goes viral asking citizens to send Holiday Cards for service members, veterans and families receiving care to Walter Reed Army Medical Center. Walter Reed Army Medical Center, on Georgia Ave closed more than 5 years ago. Any cards sent to 5900 Georgia Ave addressed to "Any Soldier," or to "A Recovering American Soldier" will be returned to sender because the address no longer exists.

Also, if you see the Facebook Post, please help us by responding to correct it.

This year you can also assist a service member, veteran and their families by providing cards they can send home to their loved ones this holiday season. The deadline for all cards including Hanukkah, Christmas and Kwanzaa is Friday, November 30, 2016.

Items to include in each bundle:
3 blank holiday cards (same holiday per bundle and no glitter)
3 blank envelopes with postage stamps
1 short message to the service member (do not included contact information, only first name) Bundled with a ribbon

Please drop off or mail completed bundles to:
American Red Cross in the National Capital Region
ATTN: Holiday Mail for Heroes
8550 Arlington Blvd
Fairfax, VA 22031

If you would like to continue sending signed holiday cards in the traditional sense, please contact your local Red Cross office, Military Treatment Facility or VA Hospital to obtain the local guidelines.
Up-to-date information will be posted on our page and please feel free to call the American Red Cross (https://www.facebook.com/RedCrossWRNMMC/) at 301 295 1538 if you have any questions!

last year when i mailed out a card, it came back saying it couldn't be delivered in case there was anthrax in it.

nhnative, that is a nice card! - - - and on the same wavelength as armylady - - - giving because one CAN, expressing gratitude because one CAN.
Such a nice autumn message as we head into the holidays.

Happy Monday Everyone :-)

nhnative was a nice card with a great thought with everything happening in our world

My PC is done and set to go out end of this week just need to get to post office when my kids don't have my car. Not even sure why I call it my car anymore I only get to sit in it once maybe twice a week. Kids have it at school or work all the time these days.... :-) gives me more time to sew.
Happy sewing

Just finished my first postcard! Working nights, but will try to get to the post office later this week.

Whew! I finally finished the postcard! Took me a few tries on this one, LOL. Just have to get it addressed & off it goes. I will post when I actually send it to my partner. I have to go to work now.

Isn't funny how some times the idea takes a few tries and the next one is just there and it works the first time?
There were a couple I sent out anyway... Sorry folks...

I mailed out my postcard this morning. Off it goes across the seas... It gets to get a ride on the plane.

I went to the post office today after work & mailed out my postcard.

judee0624 finished your card today and getting ready to take it to the post office be on the look out for a package the card will be included with some goodies.

My postcard is in the mail today.

I received mine last week (I think) hubs didn't tell
me I had mail. Will post a picture soon as I can.

Mailed my partner her postcard yesterday!

Yea! Looking forward to getting the mail :)

Unfortunately, my son took my car out of town (with the postcard), and also took my keys (with the PO box key). *sigh*

I won't be able to mail until Tuesday now, since I'll have to work a 12 hour day Monday, but it's all done and ready.

I sent postcard in envelope with tracking, .75cents extra, and looks like it will be delivered soon.

I received my postcard from nhnative! Wow! I love it!! You oudid yourself, Pat! Thank you so much!

Isn't that the cutest postcard? Love it!

The word is "Autumn" Banwell's pc arrived today. Such cute fabric! thanks so much!

[ATTACH=CONFIG]560421[/ATTACH]

That's a pretty postcard Banwell made for CookieZenmilk.

Lovethemgrays, your card is wonderful. I love the font you used. And, it certainly is a beautiful message for all to follow. Be it a little or a lot. In whatever way moves you.


Nhnative, great job on your card! I think bonus points go out to you for incorporating the season we are heading into. I love the wools you used. The orange is lovely and bright.

Cookie, nice postcard from Banwell. I think your word must be either "Plant" or "Tend". Or maybe gardening. She must have had a different take on "One Word" then we would have thought.

I got mine today, thank you so much, cuppy!

The "main" word seems to be inspire, but there are many other great words in there too-- it's a motivating little card :)

My postcard to cuppy is now on its way. Got it dropped off at the post office first thing this morning.
