i'm game for this.
i just need to print and laminate mine before i can send it off to a new home.

I finally have a concept, now I just need some glue and scissors.

Sent mine out today.

just out of curiosity, what are you guys printing the cards on?

I am printing them on used/discarded award certificates from the current War in Iraq. Air medals, Commendations…

Seriously.

Unique. Recycled. Historic. No political statement intended, implied or assumed. The back will say “Fortune Favors the Bold”.

I’ve made three this year, I can only make 4 more.

3 of mine were made from postcards. The other two (one a friend made) were just cutouts from magazines glued to index cards. Everything was then 'laminated' using clear packing tape.

Pen and colored markers on posterboard scraps. Seems to make a nice sturdy card when laminated.

'tis in the mail boys.
can't wait to receive one.

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmbump.

O.K I want in form sunny London to sunny San Fran. But what Should I do about a S.A.E sure I can post to you but putting a qeens head on the return envelope will not help on the return journy. Any ideas? (Not Fedex to fedex across the Adlantic cost far too much fo a spoke card)

No personal experience with this, but this looks like your solution I guess your post office should have some.

how long would it take to snail mail form winnipeg to san fran?

damn, thanks for bumping this. i had almost forgot.

Since you're in London, it shouldn't be a problem, but go to the biggest post office you have. Smaller ones will look at you like you've got three heads, I had to use IRCs when I was applying for a program abroad and they were hard to find.

Do I get anything extra cool if I send one in from Turkey?

Mine is done! I will to be sending soonish...

so everyone that makes a card gets one in return?

Well, you have to actually send it in. ;) But yeah, if everything works properly that's the idea.
