I have been wondering and just now getting the courage to ask a great favor of anyone who's willing.

The Request... uh... wait for it... um... wait for it... (takes a deep breath) okay, here goes...

Postcards anyone? My daughter has been collecting stamps, purely on an amateur basis. Everytime we get the mail, she looks for stamps she doesn't have. (Of course most of our mail contains bills, junk or bulk mail without any actual postage stamps.) I thought it would be neat for her to get some stamps from around the world. And, the only group I know that is worldwide is the great people here at MR.

Then I thought

it would be especially nice and educational (that's the homeschool mom in me) to receive them on a postcard that depicts your country or the area where you live (US residents are most welcome too!)

I was just wondering if anyone would be interested in doing this for me, for my daughter. Is this asking too much? Breaking any MR policies? I promise karma and grateful recognition

for anyone who participates (if I know who it came from)! If anyone is interested, they could PM me for my mailing address, unless my address is available on my profile page somewhere?

BTW, her

11th

birthday

is exactly 1 month from today (6/18/09) on July 18th.

Anyway don't feel obligated (I won't give you negative karma, wait, we can't do that anyway

) She doesn't know anything about this, but I would be so appreciative

and I know my daughter would be thrilled. Well, there you have it.

Thanks for taking the time to read my request and possibly even consider it!
