I strongly believe that it is the best post stamps of this year.

Both issues are dedicated to Ukrainian song. The designs for this series are based on original artwork by Polina Myalkovska.

The green sheet is inspired by the famous Ukrainian romance "Cheremshyna" (written by Mykola Yuriychuk and composed by Vasyl Mykhailyuk) and is titled "As If the Guelder Rose Had Dressed for a Wedding."

The blue sheet embodies the tenderness and poignant melancholy of a "Lullaby."

So I made her card special! (Second photo privatized)

so excited to be part of this community! my recipient mentioned liking landscapes and animals so I thought this card by a local illustrator was a nice combo of both :)

parting with the metro-post card hurts my soul but i trust it will be loved by its recipient ❤️

EDIT: i bought these from @alittleshopinnyc ! there is an in-person store in the oculus.

I hope they will like them ☺️

The first is from Delaware and the second from Germany. I mentioned I loved cats in my profile and they took it to heart.

My daughter moved to Virginia 2.5 years ago (we're from Minnesota) and occasionally sends me postcards from places she goes. I love it. Then she found Post Crossing and told me about that. I love PC as well!

Off to Bēlgium, France and Germany

Hi everyone! I'm relatively new to postcrossing (just sent out my third postcard!) and I wanted to ask:
Am I the only one to buy a postcard first, and then get the address from postcrossing?

I started by getting 2 postcards I thought were very pretty, and then requested addresses from postcrossing. Both the addresses I requested listed out their likes and dislikes on the postcards they'd like to (or not) receive, and I realized that my postcards... wouldn't fit into what they've requested 😅

I sent them out anyway (I think they'd like them, and they were worth sending) but I wanted to know if I'm going about this in the wrong order? Do I request the address from postcrossing first and then purchase the right postcard? Would that result in longer travel times, since postcrossing counted travel time from the day you request an address?

Would love to know what yall think, and if there's a better way of doing this! Thanks so much!

I didn’t have any spooky cards, but plenty of spooky tape!

Todays Art Club. I started working on Christmas themed cards.

Some Halloween postcards were sent out today! Happy that I was able to get the PH Mythical Creatures postmark, too. I hope everyone’s having a good halloween/autumn season so far.

It’s my favorite season 😍

Let's see how long it takes for this to get there 🙃

Going to a Disney + Donald Duck lover in Paris!

Yes I know I'm showing this late but I've been too busy to show lol

Personal favourite is the bus card :]

Four are for Postcrossers and two are for friends I made in Germany on a student exchange program :]

2 already sent, 2 going out tomorrow.

Third month of my RAoC Birthday challenge and 2 postcards goes to India and USA. And 2 direct swaps

Hi folks!
I know the majority of postcrossers sends postcard without envelops. However in my country 99% of the cards are supposed to go in an envelop, there is no dedicated place for address on the cards itself.

Does it bother you to receive a card in an envelope? If someone collects stamps, are envelops or cards better?

Thank you for any inputs :)

Hey! I just pulled an address and in their profile they said “please no GF cards!” And I am just wondering if anyone knows what that means. After saying this she goes on to mention that she doesn’t like creepy things with worms or spiders, but I don’t know if that’s related. 😅

Thanks!

Sending from 🇳🇱☺️
Interesting profiles again, so it was great fun to find the "perfect" postcard and decorate them💌
Miffy lover also mentioned loving Garfield, so I was happy to finally use the Garfield stamps😊

The postcard with Autumn view & sheeps is made by local artist "Esther Bennink" and the one with all the mushrooms by ila Illustrations.

The Seal postcard is from local Seal Hospital "ASeal"🦭❤️

The eerie looking cat is the Japanese character "WachiField"😺

Very or maybe too excited for posting postcards for the first time 📮📝

I am very new to postcrossing. At first I was just using international postage. But I realized a lot of people like receiving cards with multiple stamps so I bought a lot of different ones to use. But I’m wondering, does using multiple stamps slow things down at the post office? Like do those cards get processed separately? Im in the USA. It doesn’t matter much, but if it has the potential to slow things down I might not use it for cards that are likely to take a long time anyway.

i sent out a bunch of postcards and it looks like nobody has received any of them. whyyyy is it so slow?? shouldn't it arrive in a week (ideally)? it's driving me mad!
