I am blown away with my first postcard from <a href="http://andreainkc.blogspot.com/2009/03/postcrossing.html">Postcrossing.</a> I have to admit, getting this postcard in my mail box, was kind of like a surprise party. I had no idea when it would come or where it would come from!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5767321326789907760-6472296332609655786?l=everylittlepostcard.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Andreanoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5767321326789907760.post-45732555751727246552009-03-09T09:33:00.000-07:002009-03-30T11:13:31.380-07:00<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_VgbvTv55h0U/SdD0XhZox4I/AAAAAAAAEeQ/XrpcPN_73mw/s1600-h/Fullscreen+capture+362009+15016+PM.jpg"><img border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_VgbvTv55h0U/SdD0XhZox4I/AAAAAAAAEeQ/XrpcPN_73mw/s400/Fullscreen+capture+362009+15016+PM.jpg" /></a><br />Did you ever have a pen pal? I did, but sadly I don't remember anything about her now. I have to admit that I’m a sucker for good, old-fashioned letter writing. I keep a constant stock of correspondence materials at the ready. I love picking up fabulous paper goods and saving them for just the right occasion. I even have wax seals for envelopes! I relish birthdays as an excuse to send cards and thanks to my mother, I'm pretty good at staying on top of the thank you cards. <p><p>I love being able to do fun things that don't cost a lot of money! Especially if it involves sending and <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">receiving</span> mail from another country. I just sent my first postcard with <a href="http://www.postcrossing.com/"><span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error">Postcrossing</span></a>. The goal of <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-error">Postcrossing</span> is to allow people to receive postcards from all over the world! I signed up, bought a post card, received an address in Finland and sent it on its way. Today I got confirmation that it arrived at its destination. My Kentucky postcard traveled 4,620 miles in 8 days! Mia, the woman who <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">received</span> my postcard sent me the following note: <p><p><em>Hello Andrea.Thanks so much for your lovely card, i love it very much. Happy <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_4" class="blsp-spelling-error">postcrossing</span>.Regards from Finland, Mia </p></em><p></p><em><p></em></p>So now that I've been proven as a reliable sender, I should be getting a postcard soon. I'm anxious to see where it travels from! I don't know how often I'll keep up with this, but let me tell you, there are some serious <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_5" class="blsp-spelling-error">postcrossers</span> out there. They have regular <a href="http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=53052531014">meetings </a>to compare postcards, a <a href="http://www.flickr.com/groups/postcrossing/"><span id="SPELLING_ERROR_6" class="blsp-spelling-error">Flickr</span> postcard group </a>and <a href="http://www.postcrossing.com/blog/2008/08/13/postcrossing-took-them-to-a-marriage">this couple </a>even fell in love after sending a postcard to each other! More power to 'em! <p><p>I'll let you know when I get my first postcard! </p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5767321326789907760-4573255575172724655?l=everylittlepostcard.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Andreanoreply@blogger.com0
