11/30/2010 ~ I just created my account to do my 10 postcards on postcrossing.com and am looking forward to what it brings. I think that this will be interesting and I am glad I kept the PO Box that I had temporarily set up for a friend who was homeless.
What is postcrossing? It's a project that allows anyone to receive postcards (real ones, not electronic) from random places in the world. You can read more on the link provided above.
My first card I am sending is going to Germany. I think that is cool. I'm going to try to find a way or place to make my own post cards using my own photos. I don't want them to be mailed for me though or type written. That is a little impersonal I think.
I have gone back and added 4 other postcards to be sent. In addition to Germany, I am also sending to Brazil, Russia, Netherlands and Taiwan. I have created postcards from my own photos to send to these individuals. I think it's pretty cool.
A Disney/Facebook friend has also started to do this also.
12/10/2010 - I mailed out my 5 postcards. I was excited to send postcards that I made from my own photos also. They turned out very nicely too. I don't know if I want to make some others ahead of time or wait to see what the individuals are looking for or have favorites of. I can't always accommodate what they may want.
12/15/2010 - my first postcard was registered as received. This was the one to Germany.
12/23/2010 - My postcard to the Netherlands was received.
12/28/2010 - I received my first postcard. It came from the Netherlands.
12/30/2010 - The postcard to Brazil was received.
1/1/2011 - I am going to wait for a bit before I send more. I want to make more postcards but being I have a few other priorities I want to take care of first, this can wait.
1/5/2011 - I received 2 postcards today. One from Kyiv, Ukraine and the other from Turin, Italy. I also started a postcard blog to share the pictures of the postcards.
