MaryMo - sorry you had that experience with your FPC. Good for everyone to know.
For January, I was thinking of Winter as the theme b/c not everyone lives in a snowy region but maybe that's too boring and blah. Any suggestions??

MaryMo, sorry to hear that I have sent some very odd things through the mail with no problems, granted none of them were quilted postcards so I will keep that in mind as I make them and be very cautious with how I construct and stableize them.
Jane, like you I do not live in snow and to me winter theme is an extention of Christmas. I will partipate and do my best to follow which ever theme is chosen but I did find this list online of wacky days in January some of them are national. A couple I thought might be fun are . #4 trivia day, #5 national bird day, #18 Winnie the poo day, #20 penguine awareness day. Just a few ideas we can consider. Some of them while amusing may be difficult to translate to a postcard.
Wacky Days:
1 New Year's Day
2 Run up the Flagpole and See if Anyone Salutes Day
3 Festival of Sleep Day
3 Fruitcake Toss Day
3 Humiliation Day
4 Trivia Day
5 National Bird Day
6 Bean Day
6 Cuddle Up Day
7 Old Rock Day
8 Bubble Bath Day
8 Male Watcher's Day
9 Play God Day
10 Houseplant Appreciation Day
10 Peculiar People Day
11 Step in a Puddle and Splash Your Friend's Day
12 Feast of Fabulous Wild Men Day

13 Make Your Dream Come True Day
14 Dress Up Your Pet Day
15 National Hat Day
16 Appreciate a Dragon Day

17 Ditch New Years Resolutions Day
18 Thesaurus Day

19 Martin Luther King Jr. Birthday , celebrated on the third Monday

21 National Hugging Day

January is Blood Donor Month, Family Fitness Month and other things associated with Healthy Living (thyroid awareness, cataract awareness etc) ...... maybe all or one of those might spark an interest. These postcards are getting fun to make!

One thought, though, if you're concerned would be to have the postcard hand stamped/canceled at the PO desk then put it in a clear envelope to protect it for mailing. Just a thought - - -
I will consider all the great suggestions and come up with something. I'm glad you're having fun with this!
