Two More Postcards Sent

So I mailed out two more postcards today! One to Portugal and the other to Finland. I get to send those two out because the people in Poland and Finland registered theirs from me today. Yay!

Here are the pictures:

~To Finland~
~To Portugal~
So right now the most active countries for me are Germany (1 received/1 sent) and Finland (2 sent)!
I'll post more as we go along!

First Received PostCrossing Card!

Today I got my first Postcard in the mail from Postcrossing! It's from Fred in Berlin, Germany! It is beautiful! He picked well- actually he said that he got it in "Switzerland during summer holidays in a little *free basket*"! How cool? I'm pretty ecstatic!

He also added a phrase in German that he translated for me. I ask for people who send cards to me to do that. It also only took 4 days to get to me. He sent it on 10.23.09 (and today is 10.27). haha



I also sent out two postcards, but I forgot to take a picture of them because I was trying to catch the mailman! haha
I'm pretty bummed I didn't take pictures...
One was sent to Germany and it had deer on it.
The other was sent to The Netherlands and had a picture of Deception Pass on it.
Oh well- I will try to never send any again without taking a picture of both sides! haha

Oh yeah- I also figured out how to get the scanner to work so I won't have to "take pictures" of the postcards anymore. Now I can actually make them look good through the scanner! haha
Ok Later!

Edit: *flea market* Apparently I read this wrong, but Eric read what I read ("free basket") as "flea market". Whoops. haha I think he's right...

Playing Cards

For as long as I can remember I have collected playing cards. I was collecting playing cards before I knew I was doing so, actually! haha I have decided to start keeping a record of what cards I have.

PostCrossing Update!

So my first card ever written made it to its destination first too! It was to Iris in Germany! It traveled 8,198 Kms in 4 days! I wasn't expecting that!
That postcard actually beat the CA postcard (or the CA girl just hasn't posted yet).
I thought that was neat though! I really hope I get a postcard soon! I haven't checked the mail yet today- maybe I have one!
I'm off to go get another address so I can send another one!
[Thanks Wikipedia]

PostCrossing

So I came across this site that is an experiment with postcards.
PostCrossing
You just send out postcards to a given address and you receive some in return. I have my first five postcards written, now I just have to go mail them tomorrow! The first one I wrote was to someone in Germany, the second was in California, then Finland, China, and lastly Poland. I think it's really neat!

Here are the postcards (in order written):I will post more cards as I write them and receive them!
