Of course someone MUST have a question...so I'll go first. Do we mail to ANY Shackie? or just pick one from the list?

i thought we'd start with those on the list as they expressed a willingness to 'pass it on'
it would be nice if it kept going after the list finished too! we'll see...

I think this sounds great! Thanks for getting this going, Kirsty! I'm excited to see all the different postcards and also to see how long we keep it going.

I have made my first postcard, and I know who will receive it.
Now....I think I don't understand....
We print out the post with all the names and send it with our postcard?
I don't really understand this part of it I guess.
Do we cross off a name, even tho' the recipient will know it's her?
Details on this part of the swap, please!
Thanks

hi joanie:)
i will try an explain better...bear with me lol

i began the process by making and posting a postcard to a shackie i selected from the list of interested parties.
she has received it and now will make one herself and choose a shackie to send to.
when that person receives it, they too will make a postcard and sent it to the shackie they choose.
it will travel a single line from one shackie to the next.
when you receive, it is your turn to post out.
this is what i included in the first post:


You’ve been Shacked!

I hope this postcard brightens your day.
Please ‘pass it on’ by making a postcard for another Shackie.
Add the name of your intended recipient to the list below.
Please include this sheet in your envie when you post out your ‘Inspiration Postcard’


1. 2.
3. 4.
5. 6.
7. 8.
9. 10.
11. 12.
13. 14.
15. 16.
17. 18.
19. 20.
21. 22.
23. 24.
25. 26.
27. 28.
29. 30.
31. 32.
33. 34.
35. 36.
37. 38.
39. 40.

i wrote the name of the shackie i posted to at number 1 and she will add her recipient at number 2.
that is so that when you receive a postcard, you will be able to see who has received one already and choose accordingly.

i hope this helps, please ask many more questions if you have them.

I think this is something even little ole me can handle. Will you add my name to the very bottom of the list please? By then, I should be able to keep up with it. Thanks.

OK.....so, I won't be sending anything until I have gotten a postcard myself???
I already wrote a name on the one I made....darn!
Now I see how it works, but I jumped the gun and did it wrong.
What are the odds I'll find that the next person will be that name????
Hmmmmm.
We shall see.
LOL

Ok, you all can laugh amongst yourselves when I ask........What is a post card? I would like to add my name to the list but not sure exactly what "an inspiration postcard" is? When you get done laughing, please explain.

Joanie, you get to choose your rcipient, so you just have to see if they have already received one yet. If not, Bob's your uncle! :)

firstly of course cheryl and dee!
secondly, dee, just a card front really - a 1/4 sheet of card, decorated on the front, you can write or not write on the back, whatever you choose - by 'inspiration' i mean have an up-lifting message on it somewhere, can be as simple as "sending a smile" or words of wisdom if you choose - just happy mail!

thirdly and most importantly!
i have managed to confuse several people with my inadequate instructions:embarrassed:
some have gone ahead and sent a postcard without having received one...
really this is wonderful! please be so kind as to 'pass it on' regardless from where it arrives!

OK, I'm even laughing at myself now. Surely this is not complicated but I seem to have some odd blockage going on here. Do we send the card we received and a new card or do we keep the postcard we receive and just send the one we make to another person?
Oh and after all my silliness, please add me to the list!

01-02-2011, 06:43 PM
no silly questions dee, just my inadequate answers lol
you keep the postcard - it is a gift for you!
then by way of thanks, you make one and send it to someone else - kinda pass it on / pay it forward...
oh and i stuck you on the list!

Yes I had forgetten to include that little thing you sent Kirsty and scanned it to email it to lori so she could add it. She was so fast getting hers out, I missed her! I will send it tp Patty and she can add it to her send, if she hasn't sent it already. :)
