About Justene...

My name is Justene. I am 47 years old and I live in southern Ontario, Canada. I am married to my best friend and have 3 wonderful sons and 1 precious granddaughter. We have an adorable kitty named Frankie who I love and spoil to bits. I love sending & collecting and cherishing each and every postcard I receive from all over this wonderful planet! I like the idea of collecting postcards & postage stamps from all over the world... the kind that are written on and dated and stamped by the post office. Not only for the postcard itself, but for the soul that was connected to it, and the different hands that have touched it, and the different eyes that have read it on its wonderful journey to my little corner of the world.

I would love to receive postcards that represent the country or area where you live; street views, houses, people, animals, art & quirky items. I also love hand-made by you -- your ideas, your inspiration, your creativity!

Please, no free-ad or multi-view cards. Also, no envelopes. I prefer hand-written messages & postage-stamps. Thank you!

I love to collect & swap FDC's (First Day Covers). Please message me if you would like to swap!

It would be wonderful to hear a bit about you, your life, your dreams, your family, your work, your hobbies...the special things that make you happy! Your favourite quote would be nice as well.

*** Please use pretty stamps on the postcards...and I will always do the same! ***

I look forward to hearing from you! :)
