Blog > Happy 16th birthday, Postcrossing... and a new stamp from Austria!
Hurray, it’s Postcrossing’s birthday today!! 🎉 Sixteen years of postcards and friendly connections all over the world feels like a long, joyful adventure… one that we cherish immensely.

All these global ties have felt extra meaningful in the past year, and we’ve heard from so many of you, letting us know how much you appreciated having a happy hobby during these rough times. So our big thank you to all of you out there, feeding mailboxes with nice mail and spreading some joy in times of social distancing — you are what keeps Postcrossing going. We hope you’ll have a brilliant day, and treat yourself to an extra nice postcard, or a slice of cake! 🍰
The other good news of the day is that a new Postcrossing-themed stamp from Austria is being issued today! Designed by Theresa Radlingmaier, 165,000 of these have been printed (in sheets of 50) and they should be available in Austrian post offices and their online shop today.

If you’re in Austria and manage to find some of these shiny new stamps on your local post office, do share some photos of them with the rest of us on social media! We’d love to see how they look on your own postcards.

Sending 16 postcards today and wishing for Postcrossing stamps here too. Not yet.

For me, it all began on New Year's Eve 2018, and I never imagined what a fulfilling and life-changing adventure this would be.
I look forward to many more years and new friends with Postcrossing...

Sunny greetings from holidays in Greece on the lovely island Crete.
Every time I send a postcard or receive one I think of what your tireless work has meant to me and since I don't have words to adequately express that I'll simple say your work has gone a long way toward bringing our fractured planet back together -
All my best to the entire team. Take special care of yourselves and yours.

The Postcrossing covers and stamps are so beautiful — it would be cool if there was a way to buy them all at once from one place ...
Hope someday to receive the Austrian stamp!

Спасибо команде Посткроссинг и создателям!
Postcrosser for 7 years now - still so fun!
"My Armchair Travel Club"!! It takes me many places to meet wonderful people and see things that I will (probably) never see in person. Some cards bring me joy and others bring me laughter!! Little treasurers to keep and revisit!!
So SWEET SIXTEEN....HAPPY BIRTHDAY ...and may we all continue to be kind, share and enjoy this marvellous gift you have established for us!!
