Send a Postcard from Your Town: Help Make My Daughter Smile!

In summary, Jodi's daughter was matched up with a group from Norway, but when she got the postcards back she realized she never received hers. She asks other cheffers if they would be willing to help her send one from her home town to the group in Norway, but only one chefer is willing to help.

I don't think I saw California listed - I'm in San Diego and I happen to be going out tomorrow to get post cards for my son to send out to our away military family members. I would love to send one to your daughter - maybe from the beach or even the San Diego Zoo? Please send me your address.

By the way - I just have to say YOU ROCK what a great thing for a mom to do. I'm my son's cub scout leader and I couldn't imagine being that unorganized AND refusing help.

Today's update :) Cheffers are awesome :D

We received two from Terry in Baltimore, Maryland. Terry I just LOVE the one with the picture and recipe for Chesapeake Bay Crab Soup - YUMMO!! :) We also received a really cool one from Andrea in Roanoke, Virginia, one from Amanda in Marceline, Missouri - Walt Disney's Hometown according to the postcard - thanks for that Amanda, we had no idea :) and last but not least from someone in Ogallala, Nebraska but not sure who so we don't know who to thank. You know who you are though so thank you!

I'm really beginning to think the postman waits and drops them off in multiples since that's how they all seem to arrive :)

So the list now looks like this:

Pennsylvania
Florida
Finland
Iowa
Arizona
New Mexico
Utah-Arizona
Lake Tahoe
South Dakota (x2)
Missouri (x2)
New York
Maryland (x2)
Virginia
Nebraska


for a total of 17!!. Thank you so much my Cheffer friends, from both of us! You are super D duper! :D

I said I would play, but never got a PM with the address. If you still want one from Japan, let me know ASAP! We are in the process of moving from Okinawa to Tokyo and the movers come in 5 days. The closer I get to the actual move, the less time I'll have to think about it! ;)

No worries and no need hun. It's the thought that counts and it's appreciated all the same :) You WOULD think they'd return it to you though for insufficient postage, they do here :mad:

It's time for another update. :) Today we received mail from 2 more Cheffers - one from Karen in Crosby, North Dakota who isn't too far from the Canadian Border from what her postcard says, how neat! and a package from Robyn in Circleville, Ohio with 4 postcards, a bookmark and some pamphlets about her area. We just loved the postcard with the pumpkin water tower and of course the one with the recipe. We're all big fans of chocolate and peanut butter so you KNOW we're going to have to try that Ohio Buckeye Candy! :)

So the list now looks like this:

Pennsylvania
Florida
Finland
Iowa
Arizona
New Mexico
Utah-Arizona
Lake Tahoe
South Dakota (x2)
Missouri (x2)
New York
Maryland (x2)
Virginia
Nebraska
Japan
Kansas
Washington
Ohio (X4)
North Dakota


for a total of 25!!. Thank you so much my Cheffer friends, from both of us!

If you haven't been mentioned and thanked on here it's not because we forgot about you or don't appreciate it but just because we haven't received your card. I've had a few inquiries and it looks like a couple have taken a different route and aren't coming here or maybe they're just taking the scenic route and will come later..

They couldn't return it because it was a postcard, so didn't have my return address!! I'll see about getting another if I'm out shopping this week!

I can send you one from WV & possible PA (if I can find 1). Just PM me your address.
 
  • #95
PM me your address and I'll send one from Albany, NY (which is NY's captial too) :)
 
  • #96
Well since it sounds like my state is well represented, maybe I can pick one up while I'm in Colorado Springs? Send me a PM.
 
  • #97
I can send one from Alaska if you would like. I will PM you. I have a lot of international friends, but none from Norway otherwise I would have them send you one. Mara
 
  • #98
Just wondering ... does it HAVE to be a postcard? Regular mail gets there faster. Maybe we can enclose a photo if we put it in an envelope. I am going to be visiting my cousins and their little girl, who was adopted from Guatemala ... so that might add a nice, international flavor!
 
  • #99
Pm me your address. I am from Louisiana.
 
  • #100
Email me your address and I'll get one from Phoenix, AZ. I can see Tucson and the utah/arizona border are covered :) My son would love to help out!!
