POSTCARDS for Laura

Such a great idea...I can't wait to do this one!

Thank you to everyone who has signed up so far!!!

Great!!!

AWESOME POSSOM!!

Do we have any idea what Laura's favorite types of postcards are?

No @hkapppes I'd go with touristy - seems she collected them worldwide.

What a great idea :-)

I just sent my card to Laura. I hope it brightens her day!

I am happy to send one from Australia. Seeing that Laura had a worldwide collection, it is nice to see swappers also intending to send postcards from other countries, as well as the USA. Great idea, SFreer and Suzieq11. :)

wow..I just got home from work.. awesome to see so many people sign up for this! thank you so much everyone! :) I'm sure Laura will be so happy!! :)

I'm disappointed that newbies can't join. I can understand how sad it would be to lose all that, but can't participate in the swap. This is one swap that I really can't understand that rule for. I'll send Laura a card anyway...

@DesertUnicorn - go ahead and join. We'll check all profiles before we assign partners.

This is such a wonderful idea... I'll be putting a few postcards in the mail to Laura over the next week. I know how postcards can put a smile on my face (on any given normal day) so I'm sure they'll help make things seem more normal for Laura (or maybe just help evoke a smile).

I cannot sign up for this swap as I am in a HOLE here at SB...but I have a stack of postcards here and have addressed 2 tp send tp LAURA. glad you guys caught that and that I saw it here. thanks

I'll have a PC in the mail to Laura tomorrow...So happy I can participate and help put a smile on her face...

I just sent a card to Laura and will sign up closer to date, and probably send a second one.

Love the idea of the swap. Sadly, I only send NMS stamped envies and don't want to chance a partner who wants BIE. So, I'm just going to send on my own. But I love seeing how many people are on board! She'll be so excited!

Thank you everybody!!! So nice!!
Thanks, @catladybj - hope you get your swaps up to date soon too!!

thank you for this great response everyone! I'm sure Laura will be blown away by all the postcards she is going to receive over the next while. Actually, I"m pretty sure the post office will be also! LOL! @catladybj good luck getting things sorted out and getting caught up... I hope it goes smooth!

I'm not joining the swap--but I'm sending 2 cards to Laura.....

I perfer my card in an envie. Hope the cards help Laura get back to normal.

I don't have a big collection so instead of signing up, I'm just gonna send one anyways. Something small I can do. Can't donate because my cat is sick and so far, already cost $400!

Thanks @thebragal !!! Even a little kindness from a stranger can go a long way!!!! : )

What a wonderful idea to make her happy, I will enjoy sending postcards.

I also have sent to Laura thanks.

Great idea! I have just joined in :)

I have already sent Laura a postcard. I will send another one when partners are assigned for this swap.

Thank you thank you!!!!

Nice of you to do this! I'm not signing up for the swap because I'm going out of town for a while, but will put a couple of cards in the mail to Laura.

Bravo both hosts!!! Good Job!! Mailing a postcard from Malaysia for Laura....

A card from Alberta Canada. Not joining as I don't collect PC's.

Thank you for your generosity everyone!!

Sending a card to Laura today :) Great idea, thanks @SFreer

I'm sending 2 on my own. Not joining swap at this time. She'll love all the support & friendship.

I'm not going to join this swap, but I am DEFINITELY sending Laura a pc. Thanks for posting it up here!

Thank you all!!!

thank you so much everyone for sending a card to Laura! special thanks to those sending without even joining the swap.. :) I'm sure Laura will be so happy when all this mail starts flooding her mailbox! thank you all also for making this the number 3 swap today! YEAH!

Not joining the swap but have a cute sc PC to send Laura.

Posting to Laura from South Africa today; well done hosts!!

Thank you!!!!

Definitely joining this one. I'm posting mine to Laura on Monday from Sout Africa and I might not just stop at one - will see - maybe a postcard a month to her......:-)

:) thank you all for this!!

Just sent a bunch of postcards to Laura. I like to get pc's in The mail so I thought I would send a lot of them to Laura. Hopefully she will find some comfort in all the pc's that everyone is sending.

I am quite new to this swap page and I really think this is a great start for swapping. I have bought a brandnew notebook today, where I want to write in my swap partners and in and outgoing mail for the next time and Laura's ad is the first one I wrote in, so she can be sure to get a couple of pc from time to time :-) BTW: is Laura a member of this site, too, or is she just wondering, where all the pc's came from?

She is not a member but I'm contacting her to let her know! You can tell her you're on swap-bot on your postcard.

I'm not joining swap, but will send off a couple to Laura asap.

I will be sending a few to her <3

Thank you!!!

Sending one from London UK!! XXX

I am not. Joning swap, but will be mailin seeral postcards to Laura as I have collected some from places I have been. Love the idea of this swap, and so happy to see swap-botters jumping to help Laura.

I'm not joining this swap but I will send Laura some of my collection which I'm no longer collect postcard.

Thank you!!! So nice of you all!!!!!

I will also be sending her cards, plus a SASE so she can tell me what topics she collects.......if I hear back from her I will let the host know so she can pass on that information. It blesses me that so many of you are sending her cards! She will be delighted, I'm sure!

Thank you, @Margothecat !!!!!

thank you so much everyone!! what great hearts swapbotters have!! :)

Susieq11, can you tell me, does she prefer them written on or blank? I have many from around the world that I have received in swaps that are written on and I would be more than happy to send her some of those. I will also send some blank ones too, of course from here in California!

Thanks and maybe you can get her to join us here at Swap-bot!

I'd stick to written by you to her or just blank.

Thank you!!! : )

wow!! we are number 1!! thank you so much everyone!! :)

Sent one out that was FL themed. It feels good to know my PC will be part of her tribute-collection. (=

I have one to send now, it will go out tomorrow, and I'll send another one out when I send to my partner.

Thank you!!!

Sending from Australia. Hey, it's almost Antarctica! ;)

sent one PC today :-)

I am not signing up for the swap because of the international rate of $1.05 and I have so many over seas holiday cards to send out for Christmas now. But I will send her a pc from MI.

Thank you!! I'm really thrilled with how kind everyone is!!!!! I appreciate it very much. It's so nice that people are sending without signing up - big thanks!!! : )

Had friends over last night and I told them we had a project for the evening. I got out my pile o' cards and we dug through, each looking for their perfect card. They went in the mail today. =D

thank you so much everyone! @sebastian122 awesome! thank you!

I will be sending Laura from Santorini (Thira), Greece, tomorrow. God Bless all those involved in helping Laura. This is a VERY giving thing to do.

Thank you,Debra!!!!! : )

Not joining but sending one from Iowa to Laura on Black Friday.

I'm not signing up for the swap, I don't collect pc's, and the postage is expensive, but I've sent one on to Laura, from New Brunswick, Canada.

I may not join in on this swap due to taking care of what I have on the go, but I have time to send her one from Ontario, and Newfoundland Canada. Then after Christmas I will send her another 1or2. What a great thing you girls are doing. I love swap-bot.

Will be mailing a PC from Croatia tomorrow to Laura. Thank you girls for such a thoughtful swap. ♥

Thank you thank you thank you!!

love this swap! Have some speacial post cards I am sending to Laura.! ...and I will also make a card of encouragement....thanks for doing this swap!! I have many friends in NY that have been affected and I understand what they are feeling!!!

I am not joining the swap, but I am sending her a card from the United Arab Emirates. The Christmas Camel should be a funny addition to her collection, but I only have 1.

Laura is on the way today from Texas

Thanks everyone!!!!!!!!

I will be sending a postcard to Laura, but will not be joining the swap. Great idae.

i'm sending one out to her

She's very aware of the swap. :) She looked up the website after she got such a slew of postcards that said "swapbot" on them. She is totally excited!

A post card from Wales in the UK will be on its way to Laura in the morning!

I sent a postcard to laura today. :-)

Thank you!!!!!!!!

One more day to sign up!!!

@savannahjan that is awesome! thank you for letting us know.. :)

I sent my cards to her yesterday!

I finally found postcards to send, so I can join! Though I live in a state that does enjoy tourism, it isn't easy to find postcards in my area. Today I found that a local bookstore does have some! Yay! Post card will be on its way to NJ from NH on Monday!

I'll send Laura a card, but not officially joining. Thanks for posting this.

I'm not going to join the swap, but I did send Laura several postcards, both naked and in an envelope for her to use. Plus I'm sharing her story, so maybe others will send something also. Thanks for letting us know about Laura and her postcard collection.

I saw this swap to late and it wouldn't let me join but I did send her some postcards anyway! Thant is a sweet thing and I am sure she will love it! Great idea!!

Just before I hit the "assign partners" button this morning, I went through again and banned a few people who had recent 1's and/or 3's. If your recent poor rating was due to an unreasonable partner or a misunderstanding and I didn't have time to communicate with you about it, I'm sorry. I really need to do all I can to protect the swappers in a swap of this size due to the sheer magnitude of having to angel it. Thank you so much to all who joined and especially to those who sent Laura a postcard but didn't join this swap. Your all angels! Now to hit the assign button... :)

Thank you @SFreer and all who joined and sent to Laura!!!!!

Wow! This is so exciting! With 198 swappers signed up and many many more who are didn't sign up, but are going to send her a postcard anyway..... WOW!!! She is going to recieve hundreds of postcards!!!!! I wish we could see a photo with her and all her postcards (after the swap closes).

Mailed 3 to Laura today. Just couldn't make up my mind and wanted to share views of where I live. Love that you all are doing this. From the sounds of her F.B. talk, she's totally grooving on it too. Happy holidays to you all.

I'm sending 2 VA postcards to Laura. Didn't join swap but sure wanted to participate. Swapbotters are awesome people!!!!!

I love my extended Swap-Bot family!!! They do such wonderful things!! PC's on the way....................:)

Sent the PC to Laura and my partner as well !

I sent mine out yesterday and forgot to mark SENT so I marked it today. I have to remail Laura's because the po made a boo boo and sent hers back to me.I better not have to pay postage again.

I have sent some postcards to Laura, my thoughts are with Laura and her family

Thank you all for your generosity and kindness!!!

There must be more than 200 pc reaching Lauras mailbox! Holds anybody the connecting to her? What does she say about this? And what was the postman thinking???

@Noisy , I have passed on my email to her via a friend of hers and also wrote to her. So far I haven't heard from her yet.

It saddens me to see that there are people who have still not sent to their partners... I really hope that those who have not sent yet have all been in contact with their partners about sending late.. remember communication is the key!

Do we know that Laura has been receiving her cards? A friend of mine told me that the area on Long Beach Island where Laura lives was really decimated and I've been wondering if she's been getting all her mail. I hope she has and that she's happy to have a new start on another postcard collection! Maybe at some point in the future she will join us here on 'the bot'!

@CWarner - I've tried to get in touch via mail and also through a friend of a friend... So far no answer : (
