My longtime online friend Guido has been using Postcrossing for several months , and recently I was finally inspired to join myself...Postcrossing is "a project that allows anyone to receive real postcards from random places in the world".
I'm excited because the first two of the 5 recent postcards I've sent have been received, which means that my name is now in the line-up for Me to receive some postcards (you have to send to receive, in a nutshell :)
The above pic is from a Fall drive Tony and I took in 2008, and I found a great deal on Vistaprint to get my own postcards printed (I'd used them before for address labels for Soldiers Angels mail) and so the above is my postcard!
A friend of mine was inspired to join Postcrossing even before I did, from a link I posted on Facebook, and she has come up with the wonderful idea of using a website to log pics of both her 'sent' and 'received' postcards, the website is Remembering Letters and Postcards
There is also a Postcrossing Blog
and this is the First postcard that I sent out

You'll find it's quite addictive, Kathi - even after only 6 months on Postcrossing, I'm checking the mailbox every morning. Makes a difference from waiting for bills lol
I didn't realize you'd only been on Postcrossing for 6 months, I thought you'd been doing it longer!! I am so excited to get my first postcard, can't wait :)thank you, again, for passing on the word about this!!
Hi Kathi! I've been a member of Postcrossing for almost a year and I love it. Thanks for thinking of me - great minds think alike :) I love getting postcards in the mail and hearing from so many other parts of the world and picking out postcards to send.
Thank you for telling Kathi who told me!!!
