 I got a message saying it's been sent! Hooray!
I'm looking forward to seeing what it looks like!
Hooray!

Ok,  here's mine, it arrived today :-)   And the look on my face is NOT indicitive of how I felt at receiving the card, but more because I had to reach and stretch with my one finger soooo far to press the shutter release (while still trying to hold the camera steady.....I keep forgetting I have a tripod now *sigh*)

WOW, the perspective of the camera makes that look nearly Poster sized :-) <div id="refHTML"> </div>
jessyratfink says: Oct 21, 2009. 7:36 AM
Hahaha, sorry, was trying to avoid getting my face in there. :P
Lithium Rain says: Oct 21, 2009. 9:46 AM
:( Because all of the junk you've gotten in the past?

>picks up shotfun<
jessyratfink says: Oct 21, 2009. 9:48 AM
More because I had a migraine and had spent the previous night puking my guts out, actually, but avoiding it for that reason also makes sense, I suppose. :P
Goodhart says: Oct 21, 2009. 3:22 PM
but, but, your avatar has you face in it.... ;-) <div id="refHTML"> </div>
jessyratfink says: Oct 21, 2009. 3:24 PM
But it's also a picture from the instructable that needs all the traffic it can get! ;)
Goodhart says: Oct 21, 2009. 3:27 PM
understood :-) At this point, I am slowly coming back into focus (as my avatar plainly shows ;-) <div id="refHTML"> </div>
Lithium Rain says: Oct 21, 2009. 9:54 AM
Awwww. :(

Well, please don't avoid it for that reason - it's pretty darned ridiculous if we've reached the point where harassment runs that rampant.
Yerboogieman says: Oct 20, 2009. 2:58 PM
Same here.
Bartboy (author) says: Oct 20, 2009. 2:58 PM
Awesome!
Because you had already won stuff, probably.
Goodhart says: Oct 21, 2009. 2:11 AM
No, I got indication that I will be receiving one, and I hadn't won anything (for quite awhile now; my projects haven't really been up to snuff). <div id="refHTML"> </div>
Keith-Kid says: Oct 20, 2009. 1:18 PM
SHH!!! No! Let it be a surprise to other peepoles!
jessyratfink says: Oct 20, 2009. 1:20 PM
SHHHH! The back is the important part, and I ain't showing none of that, so you shhhhh!

:P

IT IS A MATH EQUATION THAT GETS YOU TO DIVIDE BY ZERO!! WE'RE ALL DOOMED!!!
Goodhart says: Oct 21, 2009. 2:12 AM
Maybe it is the math proof that Christmas = Halloween? ;-) <div id="refHTML"> </div>
Keith-Kid says: Oct 20, 2009. 1:30 PM
NEIN ! Anything with Instructables in it is important. So ha.

Hey!
I got one to!
I just got an email that says that they shipped it to me!  Yay!   
Can't Wait for it!
Yerboogieman says: Oct 20, 2009. 2:59 PM
I got mine at right when i was opening the card! lol
Bartboy (author) says: Oct 20, 2009. 5:10 AM
Yay!
Be sure to scan yours so we can see if they're any different!

comodore says: Oct 21, 2009. 7:11 AM
:)
Keith-Kid says: Oct 20, 2009. 1:18 PM
No, they're all the same. Sending different ones would be a bother.

Just be glad you got one!

Invitation for...?
Rock Soldier says: Oct 20, 2009. 4:24 AM
I was offered a card, but I didn't want a lecture as to why I shouldn't give "strangers" our address...
Keith-Kid says: Oct 20, 2009. 1:19 PM
I had already won a Burning Questions, so my parents were cool with it...
Bartboy (author) says: Oct 20, 2009. 5:09 AM
Haha, yeah. Parents can be annoying that way...

Keith-Kid says: Oct 20, 2009. 1:17 PM
I got mine yesterday! I absolutely loved it! It was a nice and simple gesture, but it really means a lot to me.

Thanks Instructables!
Gjdj3 says: Oct 19, 2009. 8:37 PM
<extreme jealousy> What exactly did you do to get a card? And how did I miss out on this opportunity?!? </extreme jealousy>
Bartboy (author) says: Oct 20, 2009. 4:16 AM
I really don't know, as I heard that Kiteman didn't get a card.

Kiteman says: Oct 20, 2009. 11:15 AM
Maybe they've already got my house bugged in the stuff I've won they already know my demographic.
caitlinsdad says: Oct 20, 2009. 11:36 AM
yeah, we're in the underpaid and old category.
Goodhart says: Oct 20, 2009. 1:13 PM
I'm WAY underpayed and somewhat old....of course, mine is on it's way I have just been informed...<br /> <div id="refHTML"> </div>

CONSPIRACY THEORY
Molten Boron says: Oct 20, 2009. 2:37 PM
Did anyone in GB get one?
canida says: Oct 20, 2009. 6:06 PM
I believe the delivery robot is going by sea, so it may take a bit longer!  Hopefully he's not devoured by a giant squid on the way.
Kiteman says: Oct 20, 2009. 11:35 PM
There's be a delay thanks to this week's two-day postal strike... :-(
Goodhart says: Oct 21, 2009. 2:16 AM
a 2 day strike? Around here, the obsolete labor unions rarely strike for only 2 days. I wouldn't be so worried about it being eaten by a squid though, maybe one of those <em>card sharks</em> might get it though ;-) <div id="refHTML"> </div>
Bartboy (author) says: Oct 20, 2009. 2:57 PM
Yes,  I think what he was inferring was that they already knew his address.
Molten Boron says: Oct 20, 2009. 8:46 PM
It's just to collect addresses, not to sincerely thank us and wish us a happy Halloween?
Bartboy (author) says: Oct 21, 2009. 2:41 PM
I meant that's why some peoplel didn't get the e-mail.
Kiteman says: Oct 20, 2009. 11:40 PM
Since they're being signed by hand, by Eric, I think the latter.

I reckon it's a way of showing appreciation to contributors who haven't won stuff.
Goodhart says: Oct 21, 2009. 2:23 AM
Well, as Eric wrote in the Sister Forum topic: <a href="http://www.instructables.com/community/Instructables-Halloween-Postcards/"> Instructables Halloween Cards</a><br /> <em>We sent them to top authors by number of Instructables, by page-views, top commentors, people who have previously won contests, and others. Since we did all this by hand (and had a couple of snafus along the way!), if you didn't get one, that doesn't mean you're not awesome; it means we screwed up and forgot to ask for your address. But, we'd still like to send you one! So, .... </em> <h3 style="color: Red;">(see Forum link above<em>)</em></h3> <div id="refHTML"> </div>
