Happy 7th Birthday, Postcrossing!

birthday card

Yay! It's our birthday today! Time does fly when you're having fun, eh? Every single year, we're in awe of what this (once) tiny project has become, and how many lives it has touched. We're immensely grateful for your kind words, enthusiasm and continued support throughout these 7 years! :)

We know you're dying to know which videos we've picked... so here it goes, in no particular order:

Giacatalan, you have some great video skills! :)

LeishaCamden, your words mean a lot to us!

And Ejsirk, what a nice stop-motion video - we loved to see you jump!

Congratulations! The three of you will receive your prizes from MOO and Postcard Locker!

This was a very tough choice... we were seriously impressed by all the nice videos that many of you took the time to make, and had a lot of fun (and even got a little teary-eyed here and there) checking them out. You rock!

Now it's time to send some postcards, blow some candles and eat a piece of cake! Please do have one too! :)

Wow, five years ago I sent my first card, when reaching 300,000 cards sent was a huge achievement for the site. Today, its over 12 million! Can't believe how far Postcrossing has come... Happy Birthday, and as always, Happy Postcrossing!

Theses are great - fabulous advertising for a fantastic project!
Just one little thing - in the first video in the section on Bavaria, the Brandenburg Gate (spelling!) is mentioned. This is actually in Berlin on the other side of the country!
