F&F Travelog #3.1

F&F 3 is about to leave its first recipient, Sam Farman in Bayswater, Western Australia; next stop Sandra Yaguda-Kinsey in Florida, USA.  Tracking details.

F&F Travelog #13.3

F&F 13 began it’s journey with Ginger Snaps in Vancouver (Canada).  After a brief sojourn just across the border with Rose Momsen in Point Roberts (Point Bob!), Washington, this Postcard is now travelling back to my old friend Penelope Harris in Vancouver.  Thanks for the update, Rose – another Postcard halfway home!  Tracking details.

F&F Travelog #18.3

F&F 18 began it’s journey with Jennie Hinchcliff of Red Letter Day in San Francisco (USA).  It has not yet left town but is half full already, courtesy of the SF Correspondence Coop, and thus further along its journey than any other card we have yet had a progress report for.  Thanks to Jennifer Utter (San Francisco) for this update photo.  The Postcard will shortly be travelling to its next recipient in…San Francisco!  Hurrah – halfway home!  Tracking details.

Blogshare!

A new page has just been added to the site: F&F Blogshare.  If you have blogged about the Friends & Faux Project on your own blog, please pop over to post a comment with a link to your post.  I will keep an index of blog posts on the Blogshare page so that visitors to this site can visit you, too. 🙂

F&F Travelog #2.1

F&F #2 flew all the way to Australia to have this artistamp added by Angie Beck in Yanchep…and now it’s winging its way back to the UK (Hove) to our old friend Beanie Mouse.  Tracking details.

F&F Travelog #1.2

F&F #1 has inched a step further along its journey, with gorgeous artistamp added by Isabel Jarvis in Camberley, UK.  Next stop, Cove!  Tracking details.

F&F Travelog #24.2

F&F #24 passed back through my own hands en route to its 4th participant (so far it has not left the city of Derby – will it ever manage to venture beyond…?).  As each postcard bears the ‘official’ Friends & Faux logo stamp & postmark in the first spot, I decided to take advantage of the fact that this one was in my possession again (briefly) and added a second artistamp with a little more individuality, as well.  The fact that I didn’t check if it would fit the gallery frame first, and had to squeeze my name down the side says it all, really! 😉  Tracking details.

F&F Travelog #1.1

F&F #1 has had its first artistamp added – hand-carved ‘owl mail’ by Britta Jarvis – & is on its way to participant #3 in Camberley, UK.  Tracking details.
