Heidrun, 49 y.o., coming from icy Iceland. She’s a warm person that enjoys planting trees as a hobby, doing deco books and of course, sending cards! Her 9 y.o. son is already a devoted Postcrosser too.
- How did you come across Postcrossing? What got you hooked?
-
I found a link that was in the homepage of the Icelandic Mail Service. I believe it is not there anymore. I had collected postcards for years (written and stamped) so this was just what I wanted. A wish come true!
- Do you have any other interesting hobbies?
-
My other hobby is planting trees, we have some land where we can plant and grow them. Trees grows slowly here – but we don´t give up. And I also do decos (small books where you put a picture and it travels between people. Everyone does one page and finally it goes back home.That’s in Yahoo Groups (for example: Old_decos_and_homers). It is related to scrapping.
- Show us your mailbox, your mailman/mailwoman, your postoffice or the place where you post or keep your postcards!

Hedrunhlin’s shy mailman and one of the mailboxes:
- Show & tell us about your favorite received postcard to date, and what makes it special.

My very first Postcrossing postcard was a special one. Sent from France by a Finnish Postcrosser, from a place where I had been years before. But every card I get is a special one and I feel the kindness when people choose something I will like. My son is also a Postcrosser (Hemmi) and people have sent him such nice cards too. Happiness is getting a postcard from a stranger wishing you all the very best.

I love seeing all the different mailboxes around the world. Great interview.
Great interview, good pics :)
I really like the concept of introducing some postcrossers its really intresting to read about the other experiences they made and also to see some pictures e.g from their postbox , mailman etc.
I love that your son does postcrossing too. Both of my girls have accounts also. It's a great way to learn geography!
I can personal testify to the fact that Heidrun makes beautiful decos. I hope she and her son get a lot more postcards due to this story too!
Oooh, Iceland! I've been fascinated by your country for ages! Nice to see someone from there featured :)
I would like to visit Iceland too. You have wonderful horses over there. :)
What a great family! And it's so true about people sending kindness around the world. Thank you for the wonderful interview and update!
Every day I discover how special Postcrossing is... Thanks for one more good interview! Congrats Heidrun!
After Postcrossing, she likes to plant trees!? I though i was devoted with my bi-yearly plantings. I guess some people out there are more enthusiastic than me!
Enjoyed reading your spotlight. Cheers from tropical island of Penang, SL :)
