Postcards From Far Away project | Previous pre-delivery discussion (thread closed)

Sorry if this was already asked but how will we know if our postcard gets to the UK? (I'm mailing from Canada-- the land of the polar bears :P ) Or do we just have to trust that it gets there? :P

 

Not knocking the mail service, I just don't want my postcard to be lost. :)

^you really just have to trust that it gets there. we can't very well ask debs to make a list of every postcard she receives, so it's just kinda putting your faith into your own country's mail service and the royal mail :D

 

really, though, it should be ok. i think with competent mail services (canada's is, i would think, as well as the royal mail in the UK), things very rarely get lost. i wouldn't worry too too much :D

I'm going to make one or two. Not sure what to do for them, but hey. hmmmmmmmm :flutterby:

btw Debs should take an invisible camera with her when she delivers the postcards to the guys I'd so loooooove to see their reactions :D (but I know this project is not supposed to await any reaction but the very thought of their faces is sooooo pleasing :wacky: )

 

:P we should see if she'd be willing to wear some of these

i kinda would kill to know their reactions too :D. it would probably make my christmas if they were favorable, touched reactions :nice:.

 

i bet debs will let us know when she gives them to the guys, though, and i bet she'll say at least something about how much they liked them :D

:P we should see if she'd be willing to wear some of these these

 

Those are perfect!!!!!!!! :lol:

Debs could pretend she's doing an interview and record it :) Although I would LOVE to see her wearing those spy glasses :lol:

mmmm... idea... can we ask pete to post a banner of this on his blog?

a lot of fans seem to be reading his blogs, but do not come here.. (or at least i think)

 

I think that's a pretty good idea............. should we ask him??? :thinking:

I'm thinking about sending a postcard, but it would probably take me a couple of days to make it.. If I mail it in like... a week, would that be too late? :confused:

The advised stop sending date is Dec.22, so if yours are sent a week from now you're on the safe zone!!!!!! :D

 

Hope you get to it, trust me, is fun!!! :D

Thanks Christa!!!!! :blush:

 

The wonders of Power Point..... :P

you did that in POWERPOINT?! :stunned:

 

some people can do some amazing things in powerpoint, like whole animations and all that. i can just get words to woosh from one side of the slide to the other :P.

I just sent mine today, and the lady from the postal office said that my postcard will get there in 2-3 weeks... :( Will I make the cut-off? The cut-off is dec22 right? which means I'm already late?

 

EDIT: uh... sorry... I misunderstood. I need assurance though. so please answer my question though the answer is obvious. I just went nuts when the lady said my postcard will take 2-3 weeks.

22nd of December was suggested as a cut off date for sending... Debs will check the PO Box again a couple of weeks after that.

 

It'll be fine, don't worry.

thank you Alison! Oh, what a relief! I had a haircut because of that and the Lost? video. The plan was actually to cut my hair real short (boy-length) then again... haha

Well, the piccies and the logos were obviously copy&paste, just the layout and the christmassy stuff was done with it :P but considering that i went to architecture school, teachers kinda expected for PP presentation to be a bit more 'artsy' and with design and stuff........... so, a zillion presentations later, i'm pretty used to coloring stuff with it.... :D

I sent my card today :D

 

The lady @ the post office didn't even bat an eyelid when she saw the address :D

Awww :( I was told mine would take 8 days, in time for Christmas.

like alison said, you'll be fine :D. all you have to do is have it IN THE MAIL by december 22, it doesn't have to be received by then. i should go and make that more clear in the first post. debs isn't even delivering them until after the new year, so i assume that anything she gets up until the date she delivers them, which is still a long way off, she'll deliver :nice:

Have decided to stop putting it off and send a postcard.

Any word from Debs about how many more she has picked up? It would be cool to have a final tally when she actually delivers them!

 

I sent my two cards yesterday. One homemade and one photo postcard.

What is the address, please ? I'd like to send one if it's not too late.:)
