Is there anyone who would be willing to send a post card to a little girl for a school project???

My 5 year old grand-niece, Anna, has just started kindergarten. And their first project is to have people send a post card to the school. The object is to see how many US states they can represent.

For privacy sake, I will only give the address to the school, along with my Niece's full name (her name needs to be on the post card) to people who PM me.

Now, I know we have a LOT of US states represented here at pet talk, and even other countries!! SO I sure hope you can spare just a little time and money to make Anna thrilled to receive these cards.

Thanks. :) I am counting on you.

Jen, I would be delighted to send a postcard, but obviously, I am not from the US. Do you want me to? I will not be offended if you don't need one from me.

I'd be happy to do it. Now I'd just need to find a place to get a post card.
When does she need them to be sent by? I could also get one from Tahoe. We'll be up there the weekend of the 22nd. And we'll also be going to Reno.
So, please PM me the info. :)

Thanks everyone.

I should add, that the idea is to get 100 post cards in 100 days. So there is plenty of time to get your cards in.

So far it looks like:
Ohio, Massachusettes, Vermont, Oregon, California, Hawaii, Alaska, Tennessee, Canada, Scottland and Mexico are participating.

Come on you other states. ;)

It would sure be great if anyone who sends a card could scan it and post a photo before sending (since we'll never actually see them).

Just a thought.

ETA.. Does the postcard need to be themed on where it's from? Like a "Welcome to Oregon" for someone from Oregon?

No, the card can be ANYTHING. But it would be nice if you wrote "Hello from.....(wherever)" in the message part.

I put the postcard in the mail this morning. I didn't have time to scan it. It is a photo of the oldest log cabin in the USA.....In Grand Isle Vermont. I hope she has a fun time with this project.

I once had to do a "Flat Albert" project for a child. I had to photograph a nasty looking flat paper doll all over the city of Burlington. I had fun doing it, in the long run, but I certainly looked very stupid while taking photos of a cardboard person, sitting all over the parks, libraries, restaurants, banks.....ehehhehehehehehe....

Hope for lots and lots of post cards.

09-14-2007, 04:02 PM
hee are the ones reay to be sent on monday morning....... we are all set now... ;)

the first one shows some of our scenery, although we are a desertic state we do have this variation, that waterfall is the tallest in all Mexico, and itīs also considered one of the tallest in the world, itīs called "Basaseachi". then to th eright top is a lake called "arareko" which is pretty nice as you can canoe or kayak in it....... then on the right bottom is a glimpse of the "copper canyon" which is very neat also.....

the second postcard shows some of our native indians, it show some of their customs of dancing and playing those drums also a very nice portrait of the kid... as you can see in my avatar pic we look pretty much opposite from that, but thtaīs because we were "mixed" with the Spanish when they came here..... this "Tarahumara" population is sort of like aztecs, they remain the same, regarding looks, customs, and way of life.........

Here is a little bump.
And I finally made it back from Lake Tahoe. My post card has a baby black bear clinging to a tree. I wasn't able to scan it because our scanner is not working for me. Sorry. :( I'll post it if I can get the scanner to cooperate with me.

It shows the Giants in the North of France, that we can see during Carnaval or during the annual party in almost every village or town.
