First 2019 Penpal Letter!

Finally! Someone wrote back. I sent a LOT of first letters out there and finally got a response, yesterday. It is a wonderful letter, too ... with great add-ins. I think I am going to enjoy an enduring friendship with this one, just have a feeling about it.

Out: Postcards for Postcrossing

I love it when I have the right postcards. Part of the fun is having something that you know the recipient is likely to enjoy. I think I pulled it out, this time.

These three are traveling to:
China

Germany

and the Philippines

Postcards United

Made a couple of new postcard discoveries, last night! There is another postcard exchange site. Clearly, it is patterned after Postcrossing.com but who cares - more postcards to exchange! 😂 It is called Postcards United. I signed up of course, and registered 7 postcards to send out. Just need to stamp and mail them, this afternoon.

Truly excited about having more ways to send and receive postcards!

The Netherlands ... Taiwan

Fresh mail going out in the morning: a postcard to Corno, in The Netherlands, and some snailmail to Michelle, in Taiwan...

New Postcrossing Profile

I am no longer Postcrossing as khmstree ... Last year, there just wasn’t any time for my favorite hobby, so I have a new profile: pakhm ... It is weird to go from 20+ postcards at a time, to just 5 but it is convenient, at the same time. So far, I have sent 7 cards out. Three, have been registered, so far. The others are traveling to the other side of the earth, so I was not expecting a quick turn around.

The three that have been received:
To the U.S.

To Germany

To Belgium

Prepping Today’s Outgoing

About to send out 1st letter #6, for this year...

I have sent out 5 already but have not received any replies as of yet, but I remain hopeful that one or two of them will connect.
