When I was a kid I would have been SOOOO excited by all of this. It can be a great way to get them thinking about (geography) in a fun way--just don't use the "g word" and even to start thinking about how did those people get to those places? How can I as a kid start thinking about ways to be able to travel when I am an adult?Heck, I'm not even getting the postcards and I'm excited.Marghi

First she was excited because she had mail..never gets any. Then confused when she read them saying who are these people? Then VERY excited when she realized they were from different places lol and then I got a great big hug and kiss when I told her how it all came about. That's a HUGE deal since she never hugs me anymore...age thing :(

Then she said my 'cheffer friends were awesome' and please thank them so very much for me mom :D
 
yay, glad it came =)

I'm sorry I got interrupted while posting earlier. She also got yours today too Marghi :) Thank you so much! She just headed to bed but before doing so said to me 'Mom, I can't believe all these ladies are so nice and would send me a postcard without even knowing me. Can you please, please tell them thank you?' I told her of course I would and that people in general are very nice but especially all my cheffer friend :D

So with Allison's from Iowa, and Marghi's from Arizona we've received 5 postcards from our cheffer friends. Thanks everyone! :)

Of course! I was more than happy to do it! I hope she has a lot more to come!
 
If you still want some more, I would be happy to send one from South Dakota. Also i can ask my family in Hungary to send one too.
I just need to know what they should write so i can write it for them. (they do not speak much english :blushing: )

You are a great mom :thumbup:
 
Can you send me your address too? How old is she? I can have my dd send her one.
 
I can send one from South Dakota if you send me your address!
 
It was a pleasure to participate in this project, I bought the stamps from a neighbor, you should be getting some from her (Bonnie) because she's on vacation to Utah, New Mexico and Colorado, and when she found out why I needed the stamps she jumped right on board.I think we can all relate to things like this, and I hope you tell your daughter she deserves this just because each of us is special, each of us deserves to have people do things for them, even people that don't even know them. After all, she has already shared like this by bringing extra cards when that project with her scout group started.All the best to your whole family, and thanks for letting us participate.Marghi

Woohoo Marghi! We just got one today from Sante Fe, New Mexico. We had no idea who it was from it just said 'Hi Brianna, Good luck with your project. Travel far! For Marghi (Blue Moon) from Chef Success'

So now we know it's from your neighbour Bonnie :D Would you please send a thank you to her from both of us?
 
I live in Roanoke, VA and could send one to her if it would help. I was leader of a Daisy girl scout troop. I truly enjoyed and I know how important it was to the girls as well.
 
I will send you one as soon as I can. I will try to send one from our first island next week. Which I think is Wednesday.
 
I can send one from Kansas and possibly Nebraska also if you are in need of those places.

I sent one from WV, but I just put .44 on it in postage so now I'm wondering if it will get there! .75? Really? I had no idea!! Let me know if you don't get it and I'll send another!
 
If you are still looking for postcards, I would be happy to send your daughter one from CT.Just PM me your address.
 
I'll send one from MD..

I've sent you a PM with our info. Check top right under private messages. Thanks again! :)

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.
