Postcards from around the world

Would you be willing to send me a postcard?
My daughter’s kindergarten class started a little project where they made a gingerbread man and were asked to send it to someone far away and ask that person to send back a postcard.
That got me to thinking, what if I digitally “sent” the gingerbread man and asked folks in my network to send a postcard my way? That could be interesting…
So, here is my 5 year-old daughter’s gingerbread man!
Would you consider sending us a postcard? Yes, it needs to be received through US mail…
It’s funny because they were only intending for folks in the USA to respond, and that is evidenced from the fact that their wall map is only of the US! Interesting how US-centric our classrooms are, isn’t it?!
So, anyone willing to send my little girl a postcard for her class? Here are the only requirements..
1. It needs to be a photo postcard reflecting where you live.
2. It needs to be sent through the mail.
That’s it! These kindergartners would love to hear from you all! Will you help? Leave a comment with a valid email address and I will send you the address…

I’d be happy to send one from slightly north of you!

We’d love to send one. I’ll get down the shops later.
Of course, sending it doesn’t guarantee that it will arrive, what with the UK postal system being what it is, but we can try ;0)

Yes, yes, yes…. email the address so we can make their day. I taught five year olds for the last two years and when we got surprise mail from classes we blogged with via snail mail rather than on the computer it just was SOOOOO exciting.
Would it be OK to pass on the address to our relatives who live in other parts of the country to get a few more cities covered????
