Oh, I am so glad you got the one from Lake Tahoe! It is a very beautiful area. I will send one from my own state of Ohio once I find one at a store here.
 
I can send from North Dakota. Just pm me or my email.

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'd love to send you one from little RI. PM me your address and I will go ahead and get that out. What a good mom you are. This sounds like a fun project. I know she is having fun.

Thanks so much, I've sent you a PM. And you are SO right, she's having a blast and so am I! I'm not sure who's having MORE fun ;)
 
I'll send you one from conference (probably not a PC postcard tho!) in CHICAGO, IL
 
I'll send you one from conference (probably not a PC postcard tho!) in CHICAGO, IL, will try to get cheffers to sign it
 
Maybe Milwaukee, WI too - am flying through there. I'll try!
 
Hi Jodi,
How fun! PM me name and address and I'll send one too! :balloon:
 
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! ;)
 
The one from Ogallala, Nebraska was from my mom. Hopefully you will be getting mine from Kansas soon i mailed it on July 3rd.

JoLynn
 
OK..I am not too late..I got one from my cruise..and one from Hershey..but I completely forgot to send them..so I will do that this week.

Uh oh! No it hasn't Crystal :( I'm thinking you're closer than some of the other states so maybe it's lost? :( I've listed all the states and the total count and also posted thanks individually to each that we've received :(

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:
 
looking forward to hearing that your daughter received the Ohio package
 
And from Wisconsin and Chicago, Illinois - with the other Cheffers who signed the Chicago one, as well! Putting in today's mail.
