Well my wall is kinda full - had to start overlapping the cards a bit. I haven't been keeping really good track - just recieved Sile's today, but don't know if I'm still owed any more. It has been a great to recieve such an eclectic selection of images, and I'm looking forward to the next exchange.
So do I take these down and start over? Put up a new board and eventually cover all the wall space in the house? Maybe I'll get an album of some kind for these and reuse this board. What do you do with yours?

Oooh... love your wall Sly. I just keep mine in separate boxes but I like the idea of having the current exchange out on display like that to remind me of what I have received and for when I write out my cards.

For the Australians who are in the next round, remember that starting from the first Monday in November, Oz post has discount postcard stamps for the Christmas season.

I sent some postcards today (not for the next exchange) and postage is currently $1.35, I believe in November it will be $1.20 per postcard.

I'll be sending my postcards in the Christmas special period

Mick.

As to what to do with the postcards, once you have all/most of them- I stick them into a 3 ring binger fitted with photo organiser sleeves as they come in. Once I have more than 25 for the current round, I take them out of the binder, and arrange them on foam core to my liking, and then take them in to work. They go up in the lunchroom for a few weeks, and get a good look over by all, and get good discussions going. I ultimately take them home and re-file them to my 'postcards bainder'.

Great idea as well Mike!

Received Sile's postcard of a lonely bandstand. Thanks, your card is very nice. Came all the way from Ireland with nary a mark or scratch. Thanks for your kind comment about my postcard!

Three more cards came in today from Lynda, Brian and Sile leaving only 3 more to come in. It looks like I am going to have to give a Holga a try.

I use a small Itoya book that holds 50 cards. It's perfect for me.

I received Sile's "Bandstand" today. Very peaceful, very nice photo.
