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!

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

Postcard Geek Heaven!

I just love good mail. Today, I got 265 brand new postcards. Plus, a pack of 20 came on Monday. That should be enough cards to last me through June!

Love for Naomi Loves

I can't even recall how I happened along her site, I am just pleased that I did. I was lucky to get into her queue to have a piece of her mail art sent to me, and I am patiently anticipating my turn. In the meanwhile, I looked up her book to see what it was about. Bought it, was reading it, when my daughter brought a postcard from Naomi, letting me know that she would be in touch with the mail art.

I just thought it was super cool that it came while I was reading her book - which was excellent, by-the-way; I definitely recommend it.

Back At It

It has been a whole year and a half since I have been this busy with mail, but it had been such a long time since I was a student in a formal setting, it felt right to focus primarily on that. Here is me getting back into the swing of things...

I sent out 16 postcards at a time (above), for which I will receive 16 in return. Some have begun to arrive (below).
