This is so cool! I'm excited and can't wait to check my mailbox for my DPC Christmas wish list to come true :)

What was my wish? I wished for my DPC friends to send me a postcard of where they're from. Just a simple "hi" or "this is my corner of the world"

Postcard on it's way to Rikki already. Kavey

I sent Rikki a postcard from Texas as well... ;) laurielblack

although Rikki's wish has been filled by Kavey, I am sure you would love to get another card.. expect one from Ithaca, NY.. my present part of the world! vikas

I would love to hear from others as well. I collect postcards (don't ask why I just do) especially from friends who are from different parts of the world. Everytime I travel, I always make it a point to send people a postcard. As a matter of fact, I'm sending bear_music a postcard when I go to Japan in a couple of weeks :)

Here's the mailing address:
4864 Balboa Way
Fremont, CA 94536

Thanks mavrik for starting the Christmas wish list thread.

I was going to make a paper airplane outta mine and toss it, but then I got curious.

As long as it has enough gas (postage) on it, it can make the 469.7 mile trek to Fremont ;)

Strap a jet engine to it and you'd be surprised.

I'm going to Bamako, Mali in 3 weeks. I'll send you one from there if you'd like... I'd send you one from here, but Missouri isn't all that thrilling...

Rikki
Just to warn you - I went shopping and bought the postcard and forgot it was meant to be OF where I live and just chose one I'd normally choose if sending a note to a friend - it's very me.
Sadly it's not of London, it's a cartoon and not even one designed by a UK designer, I think.
But it is FROM London and will have a UK stamp and a London postmark on it!
:o)
