MellowOda

Hello Postcrossers! I am a married mom of three (ages teen to adult) who works from home full time (even outside of the pandemic) and has fallen in love with Postcrossing! :) I took a ten (!!!) year break from postcrossing due to my career picking up steam, but things have settled into a manageable pace & I'm excited to get back into it!

I have three guinea pigs named Mellow, Oda & Piggles and more houseplants than I probably should have.

I live just outside of Huntsville, Alabama, USA. Huntsville is nicknamed “Rocket City” as it houses NASA, space camp & more rocket scientists than you’d probably expect to see in a small southern US city.

I’m happy to receive any postcard you’d like to send, but if you are having trouble choosing, here are some I enjoy receiving:
- map cards
- city/skyline views
- Mountain View
- aerial views
- anything with the name of the country or region printed on the front
- greetings from...
- vintage advertisements
- Disney
- facts on the front of the postcard
- animals
- fantasy
- black & white
- black & white with a "pop" of color

Unsure what to write? Here are some prompts that I would love to know or see:
- what kinds of wildlife do you see most often?
- write 2 truths & 1 lie about yourself & I’ll try to guess the lie when I mark the card received
- tell me about the last thing that made you smile or laugh
- tell me a joke
- 3 completely random facts about yourself
- something in your native language (with English translation, I am sadly monolingual)

Don’t feel like writing this time?
- draw me a picture of a sheep!
- have fun with stickers, washi tape or rubber stamps :)

Happy Postcrossing!
