Happy Mailbox

Today I had a happy mailbox! I received three postcards and one handmade card. Here they are:

#15 Official card from Ukraine

#16 Safeco Field Card from Seattle, WA - Fave Album tag

#17 Wonderful postcard from Japan - Pen Pal Group 107

#18 Hotel postcard from Belgium - Choose a Country Group 37

That's all for today! Thanks for looking! Btw, I have a HUGE batch of mail that I need to post soon..

Packages Sent

Soo.. after browsing the Postcrossing forum, I was hooked! I loved the idea of swapping items with other people in the world. Simple things to you may be extraordinary things to them and vice versa! So today I sent out my first shipment. They weren't "packages" but they weren't all postcards either. I took some pictures but I don't have them with me right now.. probably will add them later. Anyways, today I sent out about 5 official cards - meaning they have a US-xxxx number. And about 4 envelopes for swaps/tags. I have two big swaps to go shopping for this weekend. I'm so excited - I can't wait to receive some stuff in the mail! :]

Today I also received my first postcard of the year. From Diane from Philadelphia, PA. It is an official card and it is a picture of PA's state capital building. I love it! One of my collections is the state capital buildings. I will upload a picture later also.. For now, I'm gonna eat dinner. Then I will be back with the photos! :]

Back in Action!

Soo.. after being on hiatus for almost a year, I've decided to start with Postcrossing again. I sent out about five postcards last week (four already registered) and I will be sending out five more tomorrow. I love Postcrossing! This time around I will be putting more effort into it. I want to create/send/receive more artistic and handmade cards. I will also be updating this blog when I receive new cards or when I send out a handmade card. I am also open for direct swaps so if you would like to swap with me, just send me a message to my Postcrossing account. Don't know what Postcrossing is? Or interested in checking it out? Please click on the image below:

Other than the cost of the stamps/postcards, Postcrossing is free. You don't have to pay to use the site or anything like that. Since you will be receiving cards in return, I think the price isn't too bad!

Postcards

Ok, I know that I keep saying that I will update. And I'm sorry. But again, this is another one of those times that I can't give you a full update. I haven't really done that much stuff towards my list lately, anyway. But I have sent a lot more postcards and I wanted to update you on that goal.

034. Send 50 postcards via http://www.postcrossing.com/ [35/50]

Last time I updated, I was at 26 postcards. Now, I have sent 35. Big improvement? I sure hope so. And I've gotten lots of cards in return. You should go check em out. Some of them are really cool/pretty looking.

034. Send 50 postcards via Post Crossing [5/50]

Want to see a collection of all my postcards? I have another blog, where I will post pictures of the postcards I receive from Post Crossing. I know my goal is to send out 50 postcards, but it would be boring if I just posted up pictures of the ones that I sent, so I'm posting pictures of the ones I receive. More interesting, yeahh? Well here is the link to my other blog --> Click Here.

Also, it is listed as Marie's Entertainment in my sidebar, under my profile information.

I don't have any postcards yet. I sent out my first 5 postcards today. And boy, are they expensive. I didn't realize international postcards would cost so much. But its ok, cuz hopefully I will get a bunch of international cards in return. Which would make it worth it for me.

So check out the blog, even follow it if you want. That way you'll know when I update! :]

Ciao for now.
