December Exchange Sign Up - scroll tip to Kate

Very faint, still has pencil lines. I found a scroll tip nib in my stash. It's old - came from an estate. People tend to leave items on my doorstep. Mostly they are old and worn. Now I have to get some new ones because it was so much fun to write with it. I had trouble finding the right stamps to go with my indigo ink.

Time to sign up for the December Exchange;

Beginners are welcome. You will get a list of 4-5-or-6 people to send envelopes to. One of them may be out of the US and international mail requires $1.15 postage.

No theme, any medium, digital is welcome. Enclosures are optional. This is an envelope exchange.
Please put your return address on the back and write OPEN if there is an enclosure or EMPTY if there is none. It is also nice to write DEC.2017.PTEX on the back of the envelope for those who may participate in more than one exchange. PTEX stands for Pushing the Envelopes Exchange.

To sign up -even if you have signed up many times- I need name-address-email typed, in upper and lower case. Please follow this format:

 John Doe
123 Oak Street
Ames, Iowa 50010
johndoe@gmail.com

Non-US exchangers - please follow the format that your postal system prefers.

Email the above information to me at;
jmwilson411 (at) yahoo (dot) com

If you are having a birthday in December, let me know. Exchangers have the option to send a birthday themed envelope.
If you are agreeable to be on two lists, let me know. It is nice to have a few people willing to do ten envelopes in order to make all the lists come out even.

Deadline to sign up is December 4. Lists will be sent on Dec 5th or 6th. Please get your envelopes in the mail by Dec 31st. If you are going to be late, please email the people on your list so that we know your envelope will be late.

Thanks
Any questions - email me.
Beginners welcome. You do not need to be a skilled calligrapher.

    yes, i know i spelled washington wrong. in theory, i was concentrating harder on making each letter correct - however, the lettering is very rusty. no excuses. maybe it's better to not obsess over trying to make everything so precise. if you are a beginner, go for it. if you are *graying* - go ahead and relax. stress less.

    I agree. Our exchanges are more about the art than the science of addresses. Spelling "Washington" is far simpler than making it a beautiful experience to read. So what if a letter is not quite what it should be.
