Oddity

Please.
Heavy package + international mail + maybe insurance/secure delivery or whatever to make Frankie reach his/her destination safely, and the postage cost will be MONSTROUS when the deck has gone but half-way on its journey.
Now it sounds like it will start in Europe somewhere which I'm very happy for, because my memory tells me that postage from Sweden is about double that from the UK and I think it would actually hurt a little to pay for a heap of 50 postcards + deck. Even if I love the idea of the postcards.
I'd love to see all the postcards, and all the interesting stamps, but I think it would be better to send them to LeFanu and scan them and put them in Frankie's Journal thread, so everyone can see. And then the final winner gets all.
gregory said:The other travelling decks got a journal thread in which the deck's experiences and ONLY those were posted (we actually got mods to remove the posts to keep it clean etc so it WAS a journal), and I got it locked at the end and made a pdf of it afterwards so people could keep it. There was a separate thread for progress. Both were in talking tarot. The journal often had photos in (I took one deck to Hadrian's wall, and Netty took it to the Brighton Pavilion; as for Elven.....)
Great idea! Let's do it!
