I’ve never seen a postcrossing postcard, and thought I had to share!

So idk if it's normal but I customized the cards to whatever people wanted and omg omg I'm obsessed. I can't wait for these to reach them 🥹

One question is kinda bugging me. Should I write personalized messages? Or is that too much?

Hi all! I sent out my first 3 postcards today. I'm excited to join this community! I have a passion for human connection and I love being part of humanity, I can't wait to write to you :)

Today I opened my mailbox and was delighted to find a couple of postcards, but one was pretty amazing. My penpal of about two years ended up pulling my name! It's almost as if she predicted it. Eleven months prior she wrote, "I’m so excited you joined!!!!!! Maybe we’ll pull each others names!" I thought it unlikely, but here we are!

I'm a little bit jealous of everyone who will receive these postcards! 🥰 I have already sent 14 cards with cute spring animals, and these are the last batch. Plus, one freshly made Maxi-Card with Ukrainian Varenyky with cherries! 🍒

I have a vintage postcard I'm itching to send out, but because of the lack of space, I'm hesitating. I had a genius idea today though - why not rotate the card and use the larger, address space as my writing space and have the actual address go on the other side. Is this permissible?

Photos included!

Today leaving … Happy that two of my cards arrived after over a month travelling :)
