To All!! I got a couple of postcards and the lovely people who sent them are worried about me. Because we are all communicating in different languages, I want you all to know that my heart is full of appreciation and absolute love that complete strangers would worry about someone on the other side of the world. I am absolutely doing great!
You have no idea how much the kindness of this community has changed my life in many ways.
Forever and Always

I have had to delete sections because I MAXED OUT! Only me!

2024 update:
1. If I hand write a postcard, my signature has changed to "F&A." This stands for Forever and Always. I don't know why it is easier to type than handwrite but my hand doesn't like to cooperate these days.
2. I'm sorry if I forget to put in a date, I'm still learning
3 I didn't realize I needed to scan my cards, I will from now on!

Thank you to all! I am having an absolute blast participating in this community!!!

HI!
I'm am 62 years old and just discovered this via Pinterest. I am a postcard junkie, mainly because when I started collecting, it was a cheap way to have a collection. I don't "collect" as much as I love to send out to my grandchildren and all the babies in the family, whenever I'm on the road. I re-started snail mail to grandchildren and young family members during the pandemic and haven't slowed down yet!
I'm excited to learn more about the world and I always sign out with , "Forever and Always."

I'm sorry to say that most days, my hand doesnt like to hold a pencil. I looked through guidelines and stuff and didn't see if this is a problem for me to type my note. I truly hope that this is okay!
I'm fairly easy to like a postcard from anywhere, I am submitting a list below of topics if you are inclined to make a card! I stole this idea from another postcrosser. Please I honestly don't care what I received, I"m just tickled to be here.

EPHEMERA, of any sort, I love glue, paper, scissors.
CHILDREN
SARCASM
CHILDREN'S JOKES, can actually be pretty darn funny.
DARK HUMOR
MESSAGES, profound or otherwise
MOSAICS
ART DECO photos, impressionism, etc
ART, love of or your own
PHOTOS, phone photos, I love what people see while out and about.
I can't take a decent phone picture if I had to save my soul. I used to
be a photographer, way back in the day, so Its extremely funny to me.
COLLAGES of any kind, I guess that is also in the Mosaic area.
1920s to 1940s
CAPITOL BUILDINGS in any country/city anywhere!!
CARNEGIE LIBRARIES, in any city, county, state. I think this is specifically North American. Hubs and I always have a list when we travel of what we want to see, this is one of them.
POKEMON GO!

ANYTHING YOU CARE TO PUT A STAMP ON IS WONDERFUL TO ME!

Forever and Always,
Julie
