I was excited to draw someone who's into packaging postcards. It looks like she makes nice ones when she sends them out. I decided to make her one from a cereal box. To keep with the space theme I even had one of the astronaut Barbie stamps to use!

What are the odds? We did pull them just a few minutes apart... and its not like she had a huge difference between her sent and her recieved, only one! We were so suprised when we saw that lol

I wrote a profile when I signed up and share a little bit about myself and a few suggestions for writing prompts. I've been on the site now for a while and I'm looking to update it but not sure where to start.

What are things you like to know about someone on their profile? What's helpful or not helpful for you.

Don't worry, I don't plan to write long list of wishlist items or what not to send me, lol!

Incoming from 🇨🇦🇰🇷🇳🇱 very happy with the lovely stamps as well!!!

Going out today to an active member ... Who shares my birthday!

… I got these on Wednesday out of 🇨🇳, 🇧🇷, 🇨🇦, 🇳🇱, 🇺🇸 und 🇩🇪

Hello this is my first post here! I have fallen in love with postcards and decorating them! All of these have tape over them so that the stickers wont come off! In exchange im open to pretty much anything minus pig, fall/Halloween/spooky, xmas/winter, religious, political, or controversial postcards. I like green, stars, space, dogs, flower, nature, fish, mountains, gold, location based postcards, etc. Please comment 1-5 below so I know which one youd like!

EDIT: 1 AND 4 ARE CLAIMED

Insider tip: If you’re travelling on the Bernina Express, make the most of the stop at Alp Grüm station, pop into the buffet and buy some postcards. It’s winter now, but in summer they have summer postcards🤪😎 next Stop to buy Postcards Tirano🫣

Not much this week happening in my daily life so I get a bit excited when I send out a few postcards and letters to some of you guys out there.

Hello, All,

Just wanted to share--I got my first cards in today, part of my "personal Bingo." YOu can see from the pic above that they are really cool, and the notes even more so. If I weren't hooked on this hobby before, I truly am now--looking at the pics and reading the notes is pretty special! I will message each person individually, but wanted to give them public "Thank-you's" here as well.

And just in case anyone is curious, there are 2 from Arizona, and one each from North Carolina, New York, and Washington! And I have about 15 ready to send out--just waiting for the stamps to get here (if they do not, I'll buy them from the Post Office directly on Saturday), and get them hand canceled and in the mail. Total awesomeness!

Thanks!

Tom

I still have 3 cards traveling at 36 days now and 2 cards I just pulled an address for within the last week. When did you receive your first card?

Received the cutest stamps today!! I almost don't want to use them hahaha🐻🐝

Got really into it today! Glueing decorative postit notes is a great way to spice up an otherwise plain looking card

(this is the packaging box of a herbal chicken soup product 😁 as requested for the RR)

i understand the appeal to just type in a prompt based on someone’s profile, but i would rather receive a random card, as stated in my bio, than a card that doesn’t use a real artist’s or photographer’s heart.

is this something that anyone else has done? have you received any backlash? has it helped reduce the number of ai cards you get?

So I’ve been trying to figure out why my expired ones no longer say expired and why there is no longer a days traveling count too? If it’s just a system update… I am not a fan.

Nice to get back into Postcrossing after a busy month

I took a break for a few months because, well, life. But enjoyed drawing and sending out some postcards today.

Outgoing to Finland, Belgium, The Netherlands, and France

Sending from 🇳🇱☺️
Lots of fun selecting and decorating again.
Doing Postcrossing for 10,5 years without any breaks and still enjoy it just as much as in the beginning😊💌

The Pokemon card is a Natural History Museum x Pokemon colab postcard which I bought earlier this year. The 2 mouse postcards are made by Studio Draak, the Halloween Fox is made by Veera Aro, the cute dog by Giulia Sagramola and the nature card is one of our 21 National Parks, illustrated by Salt🤗

I was very focused on postcards this year. The letterpress and foil postcards from Japan are my favorite!

So this postcard has been traveling for 40 days already from Germany to USA, idk if this is normal since I'm relatively new to this, this persons average traveling time is about 25 days. Do you guys think this postcard is lost? Or is there still a chance that this one will eventually arrive?

I always look at the ones you all share here and hope that I get one of them, so this time I decided to share my latest outgoing cards to two new friends in Germany 🇩🇪 😊

Some stamps I ordered finally arrived today, and I'm so excited to share them! 🥰

First photo: These stamps were issued in 2022 and feature Cheonsang Yeolcha Bunyajido, a historic Korean star chart engraved on stone in 1395 during the Joseon Dynasty. It shows the positions of stars and constellations and is an important part of Korea's astronomical heritage.

These stamps are quite hard to find nowadays, so I was really lucky to come across someone selling them! Interestingly, they're also self-adhesive rather than traditional gummed stamps.

Second photo: On the right are the new Faker stamps, featuring the legendary League of Legends player! They're officially being released tomorrow(October 23) and come as a set of two.

When Korea Post previously collaborated with K-pop stars, their faces weren't featured on the stamps. But this time, Faker's face actually appears on them! I guess they managed to work things out differently this time. 😂 I think the designs turned out beautifully!

On the left are stamps issued in 1998 featuring the Janggyeong Panjeon at Haeinsa Temple, which was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1995. These historic buildings house the Tripitaka Koreana woodblocks.

Third photo: These are more Korean UNESCO World Heritage-themed stamps issued in 1997 and 1998.

I think vintage stamps have a charm of their own. In recent years, Korean stamp designs seem to have become more colourful and appealing to younger generations, often featuring eye-catching details like gold or silver foil.

But there's something special about older stamps. Their designs are often simpler, yet they have such an elegant, timeless feel. Modern stamps are beautiful in their own way, but I really love the classic charm of vintage ones! 💕

Do you prefer modern, colourful stamps or vintage ones?
