I really enjoyed the diversity in all the videos ... some were very good at explaining the process, some were humorous, and some mixed both! Congrats to oixxo.

Congratulations! Love all of the entries! They are so inspired, especially for a mail lover like us! :)

P.S. I also didn't expect to see one of my favorite postcard series (Moments of Color) in R4's vedio! :D

I've come up with another contest (well, more like a very interesting fact): the card received that traveled for the longest period. Last week I received a card that had been traveling for 124 days from Moldova to the Netherlands. Intriguing...

I loved all the videos!

I have an idea for one of the monthly contests: do an interview or a profile of an interesting postcard producer or postcard store in your town.
