the postcard says
Hello all! It’s mid-winter, and we thought your mailboxes might be getting a bit lonely, with no more holiday cards dropping in. So, we’d like to do something to bring the fun back into picking up your mail. Wanna join us?
Here’s what happens:
In a week or two, those of you who signed up and made it within our 400 person limit (see update below) will find a postcard from us in your mailbox, with a fun little task to do. When you’re done (and this is all we ask of you), take a photo of your completed activity and e-mail it back to us so we can post it online (anonymously if you wish).
What do we hope you’ll get from this? A cool postcard, a laugh when you see the task we thought up for you, and the act of doing a not-so-ordinary task that gets your mind thinking in a different way. And we will (hopefully) get to see what you’ve come up with. Sound good? Then let’s get started!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
UPDATE, February 5:
Sign-ups for this round of “the postcard says” are closed. We have reached our 400 person/postcard limit. Thanks to the hundreds and hundreds of you who wrote in to be a part of this!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
400 of you will be receiving your postcard around the end of next week (int’l addresses may take a bit longer). Follow what “the postcard says”, and we look forward to seeing what you do!
If you signed up but don’t receive a postcard, it means we ran out of postcards and couldn’t send one to you (or, you signed up but didn’t provide all the correct info, or we did send you a postcard but it’s one of the few that don’t make it to its destination). Boohoo! But, you can still take part ~ in a few weeks, we will announce some of the postcard tasks online, and it’d be super cool if you could send in your responses. Details later.
More, the good stuff ~ your responses to the postcards, to follow shortly, so stay tuned! For now, we’re rolling up our sleeves and getting ready to write 400 postcards.
Amazing! Off to e-mail you right away (and keep my fingers crossed that International participants are welcome).
We’ll send a postcard to wherever you are, no matter how far away … as long as there’s a postman and a mailbox on your end!
OK! I’m game for something new and different (i hope), no, I am…

I’m a new reader- hope you don’t mind if I play along too! Sounds like too much fun!

Thanks for all the comments! We will definitely be doing this again in the near future, so check back with us soon!
A friendly postcard arrived in my mailbox today! And my task is great - you can’t go wrong when it involves favorite books! Thanks!!!
I received my postcard yesterday. I have already forgotten about this and I was really pleasantly surprised. What a task! I am looking forward to make the most of it and share some nice photos with you. Thanks!
