Eight years ago, Paulo launched Postcrossing to fix the problem of his empty mailbox. He recruited his friends, which told their friends, and they told their friends… and what do you know – it seems like lots of other people had the same eagerness to fill their mailboxes with postcards from around the world! :)
Today, on Postcrossing’s birthday’s, we would like to thank each and every single postcrosser out there, for your enthusiasm and continued support throughout these 8 years! This postcard revolution wouldn’t be possible without you.
Marichie, atb and UnaHora in Spain also sent us this fantastic video and Agger and auszra1 in Lithuania wrote a Postcrossing song!
We couldn’t pick a single best entry… or even three… so a lot of people are going to receive a little something from Postcrossing’s HQ! Turtles, heymma, Frogglin, kelpie, nomadic_gypsy, kugusch & linabella and Marichie, atb & UnaHora – keep an eye on your mailboxes!
Happy Postcrossing! Have a piece of your favourite cake today! :)

Happy Birthday postcrossing - the most peaceful project in the world!
Such creativity and clever designs! Well done to all who contributed to this celebration!
Any chance that we could get postcards (or stickers) made of some designs? Perhaps from the postcrossing store? Maybe the designers would be willing to forego any copyright to support their beloved hobby? I especially like "Keep Calm and Keep Postcrossing" and any design spelled out with cards/stamps.
Happy B-day postcrosing !! I love You !!

I'm Kisabel and I'm and addict!! I'm addicted to Postcrossing. This addiction is not a health problem but promotes feel good sensation the only thing that may get hurt is the post box from too many postcards in one mailing and the hip pocket, sometimes I get a bit behind in my posting and need to buy postcards in bulk with airmail stamps. So Happy 8th Birthday Postcrossing and please don't make me give up my habit. So keep on mailing postcards everyone. Thank you Paulo
awesome creations!!! Happy Birthday!!!!
Parabéns pelos 8 anos Paulo. Obrigado. Congrats on the 8th anniversary Paulo. Jouyeux 8 eme anniversaire Paulo. Merci, Thank you, Gracias e Obrigado

Greetings from Swabia (Schwabenland) in Germany!
The world is shrunken with the help of advancements in telecommunication systems. But there is no substitute for Physical mail and here comes our hero who is still holding & rejuvenating the postal way of communication worldwide and he is none other than our "Post crossing".
I salute Postcrossing!!!
Wish you many more happy returns of the day.
