Eleigh

Hello everyone, I'm Eleigh. I'm fairly new to this site and absolutely loving it!
A little bit about me: I'm 33 years old, married, and have 2 wonderful children. I am originally from Georgia (USA) but settled in Texas after getting out of the military in 2010 (USMC, 8 years). I'm a Pisces with an old soul and a Gypsy spirit. Some of my favorite things are painting and pottery, music, books, tattoos, refurbishing/repurposing old furniture, beautiful scenery, and passionate people! I'm currently attempting to learn ASL and to play the guitar.
I really want to make this experience as fun and open as possible, but also convenient as well. I am not a "collector" and I do not mind if the cards are sent in envelopes, nor do I mind what kind of stamp you use. Printed/ handmade cards welcome! The following are, of course, only suggestions and by no means, "strict guidelines" as I'm sure I'll enjoy any card that you send. I just hope to experience a connection with people all over the world! ...
I personally only buy cards that I love, that "speak" to me, or reflect some aspect of my life or personality, so that the recipient gets a bit more than just my words to connect with. That being said... I will do my best to match a special card from my collection, to every individual that I send to. I really want you to love the card as much as I do!

I would love to receive postcards that depict:
the culture and scenery of your city/country (especially traditional dress/costumes and festival events)
mystical creatures (fairies, mermaids, trolls, nymphs, unicorns, etc.)
Dark Art
folklore
Bohemian
Steampunk
beautiful outdoor scenery
animals
carnival / circus
vivid and colorful
graffiti
"weird", unique, or unusual cards that you just cant figure out who to send them to..... anything and everything except vulgar porn please.

Where I buy most of my cards:

**ARTISTS and PHOTOGRAPHERS**
I would love to see your work! Please feel free to design/print your own (you can find blank cards on Amazon) or send larger works in an envelope. (be careful of hard creases if folded) I just ask that you please put sincere thought into it and that it be YOUR OWN work. I intend to frame and display them in my home. Also, PLEASE SIGN the bottom of your work, and if you would like, write the inspiration for it on the card.

Don't know what to write to a "stranger"?
What city/town/attraction is a "must see" if I were to visit your country?
Your favorite:
recipe
inspirational quote
book and why you love it
place to visit and why
a "quirk" that you may have (I can wiggle my nose like a bunny, rubbing my eyebrows backwards gives me the ickies, and my "rbf" dates back to middle school, before we even had a name for it- sorry, it's just my face, lol)

I can't wait to hear from you!!!
