Book Review & Personal Blog

A family member gave me this link because he knows how much I love to send post cards. I love trading cards of any sort. When thefanlistings.org holds their annual Christmas card exchange, I ALWAYS sign up because it gives me an excuse to give and send cards. I’ve done that for the past two years and I have beautiful shoeboxes filled with cards from around the world. I love it.

So, when I heard about Postcrossing, I signed up instantly.

The deal is this. You sign up and put in your information, including your address (how are they going to send you a postcard without one). When you’re ready to send a card, you click on ‘Send a postcard.’ So easy, right? You get the address of a person and a special ID number. When you fill out your postcard, you include that ID number because the person who receives the card will identify it by that number and mark it off on the website that way. This is the sites way of verifying that you sent the card. Once the system has it that you’ve send a postcard, your address is put on the list for someone to get when they want to send a postcard. So, for every postcard you send, you get one sent in the mail.

They also give you the option to upload the postcards that others have sent you to make an online wall. If you have a scanner or a digital camera, that means you can share all of the postcards you’ve gotten. I’m so doing that, too.

It sounds like so much fun to exchange postcards from around the world. I am going to go out and buy tons of cute VA postcards. I can’t wait to put my mail box to good use.

Sign up, guys. I made a blog post about this because I think it’s just such a neat idea.
