1 Month Celebration: Post Card Giveaway!

Published by mortaine at 8:52 am under fun and games Edit This

FireworksThis is Bloggy Giveaway week. It’s also the end of my first month of blogging here on ustravel.today.com . Two great reasons to give free stuff away!

Here’s how to enter: Post a non-spam comment or drop your entrecard on any post at http://ustravel.today.com between right now and 11:00 PM August 1. On Saturday morning, I’ll draw three lucky winners.

The Prize: The prize is a set of 6 completely random post cards from my travels across the United States. You could get sweeping views of the Grand Canyon, or a funny alligator from Florida. You might not even get something destination-related; I have a lot of post cards! The post cards will be put into an envelope and mailed to you or, if you prefer, all six will be written on and mailed to you through the post within the month of August.

Remember: don’t put your mailing address in the comment, but do check your email or this blog after Saturday. I’ll announce the winners on Saturday and try to contact you if I have any kind of link or email address to use.

Your contact information will not be shared with anyone for any purpose and will not be used for anything except sending you the post cards. Non-US participants welcome– I can only send post cards where the U.S. postal service permits. All spam comments will be deleted and are ineligible for entry.

This giveaway/contest is being run by the independent writer of ustravel.today.com and has not been reviewed or endorsed by the webhost, Today.com.

Note: Comments are moderated, so if you post one and it doesn’t go through, don’t panic– it’s just being held for moderation.

Also, I know the captcha is annoying. I already get about 20 spam messages a day, even with it, and I shudder to think what it would be if I disabled it. The plugin my host uses, re-Captcha, uses words that have been scanned for inputting public domain works into online libraries which the OCR software is having trouble recognizing. So, as annoying as it may be, at least you’re helping to contribute to the availability of e-texts.

    Oh I’ll enter this one. We use to homeschool and collect postcards and my younger daughter is doing homeschool with me this year so it would be a great project.

    I could always use postcards. I try to find interesting and odd postcards from around the US to e-mail friends in the military. If I win, I am sure your postcards would be perfect for this use.

    Hey thanks for the clear up on the banana vs garden slug! I kind of figured that’s what they were after doing some online research. I remember seeing one when I lived in Redwood City a few years ago while taking a hike outside of La Honda. They’re massive!! Hahaha. I also have an unbelievable quantity of post cards from my own travels, and I dig the Taschen art postcard books just because that’s probably the closest I’ll come to owning an original by someone like Frida Kahlo ;) Anyway, thanks for the comment, and it’s great to meet a UCSC alum!

    I love postcards. I have a good collection of older ones - like from 1910-1920. But I like new ones too!
