About Lucy...

May 2012 – Due to an increase in the price of stamps I must reduce the number of direct swaps I do. Please only contact me about swapping if you can send me a card from my favourites wall. Thank you :-)

Hello!

I enjoy crafts, photography and watching TV (love Friends!) and films. I'm a big fan of Harry Potter and Twilight (Team Jacob). I love animals and spend a lot of time with my pets- a cat, 3 tortoises and 2 chickens. I'm vegetarian and try to help the environment as much as I can!

I'm studying with the Open University- mainly science courses. My mum and I do a lot of walking and I like to take photos of wildlife and land/seascapes. I have visited the U.S.A. (FL, MA, NY, PA), Canada, France, Portugal, Madeira and Majorca, and a few places in the UK. I really want to visit Paris, Rome and mainland Spain.

I'm taking part in Postcrossing because I like writing (and receiving) 'real' letters... it reminds me of Jane Austen books! To me, the back of the card is just as important as the front so please write me a message, or draw a picture- anything you want!

I always try to send other people cards from their wishlist, so I hope you will do the same for me. Please don't send a free advertising card (unless the subject is in my wishlist) or any folded greetings card. I don't usually like typical 'tourist' town/city views. Here's my postcard wishlist (in any order):

→ cute/beautiful/unusual animals- e.g. cats, tortoises/turtles, dogs, wolves, giraffes, elephants, lions, tigers, rabbits, frogs, bears etc... (not in a zoo/circus please)
→ wildlife from your country
→ local scenic landscapes
→ beautiful sky - sunsets, sunrises, storms, Northern Lights
→ Harry Potter and Twilight (books and films), Friends (TV series)
→ 'I Love My Planet' range by Nouvelles Images, shown here- http://www.nouvellesimages.com/Postcards_Ecology
→ (Finland) Moomins

Have a look at my favourites for more ideas (some of the cards on my favourites wall are ones I have already received- please click on the card and check if it's one I have registered or not):

Please don't use an envelope, I prefer my cards to look 'travelled'. Thank you :-)
