I would like to collect postcards of single-engine airplanes for my grandpa's birthday on July 18th. He was a private pilot for many years and he's one of my favorite people. If you could write him a short note wishing him a happy birthday I would be so happy. His name is Bob. Thank you!

I would like to collect postcards of Jimi Hendrix this year. So if you have a postcard of Mr. Hendrix you're willing to part with, I would absolutely love to have it!

Hello there!

I'm just a regular person from Nebraska. My boyfriend and I support people with disabilities and we volunteer with our local animal shelter. We have two dogs named Murphy and Glados and a cat named Meatball.

I love to be surprised! I would love to receive something completely unexpected in my mailbox and to read anything you wish to write just as long as it's more than "Happy Postcrossing."
Some of my favorite topics include:
-your typical tourist postcards (either single view or multiview)
-nature
-astronomy
-animals (farm animals, dogs and cats, sea creatures, elephants, etc.)
-black and white postcards
-cartoons and comics
-movie posters
-vintage ad cards
-LGBT postcards
-vintage concert flyers
-children
-funny, sarcastic, satirical postcards
-rainbows, tornadoes, volcanoes
-aerial views of cities
-tropical beaches
-Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix, Beatles, Joan Jett, The Clash, Sex Pistols, Metallica, Tool, Weezer, Foo Fighters, Flogging Molly, Dropkick Murphys, Pixies, The Who
-Monty Python, The Walking Dead, Harry Potter, Downton Abbey, Friends, Sons of Anarchy, Star Wars, the Muppets, Game of Thrones, Gone With the Wind
-trains, buses, single-engine airplanes, ships
-history and culture
-food, especially dishes native to your country
-pints of beer, glasses of wine, and fancy cocktails
-pubs and taverns
-old barns and rustic houses
-classic and modern movie stars (Marilyn Monroe, Audrey Hepburn, Sidney Poitier, Humphrey Bogart, Clark Gable, Johnny Depp, Ewan McGregor, etc.)
-the Rat Pack
-British royalty

I'll love to receive ANY postcard you wish to send me as long as it's not on the "do not send" list. Self-printed and handmade postcards, folded greeting cards, and envelopes are always welcome!

This is the "do not send" list:
-spiders
-insects, but butterflies are perfectly fine
-patterns and textiles
-text-only postcards, such as the "Keep Calm and..."
-nudes, erotica, or anything sexual in nature
-sports teams or logos
-bare feet
-anything religious, but beautiful cathedrals, mosques, temples, etc. are definitely welcome

If you wouldn't mind, please check my Flickr account to avoid sending me a postcard I already have.

I really look forward to receiving your postcard. Thank you!

Your friend,
Amanda
