Enjoying the World We Live in One Post Card At A Time

This adventurous blog: Travel Postcard, belongs to Lay Hoon, who lives in Kajang, Malaysia. She has done a great job making this a gorgeous blog full of exotic pictures from postcards showcasing all four corners of the earth. It's great to enjoy not only the fronts of the postcards but also the stamps and the backs of the postcards.
I have previously written about my love of post cards in post cards in postcrossing project, so this has been an exceptionally good find. Yesterday I sent out my first five post cards to China, Finland, Germany, the Netherlands, and Brazil. I'm looking forward to having my own PostCard Wall.

Today on Lay Hoon's blog she had this cool postcard from Poland with a link to
A F e s i t i v a l o f P o s t c a r d s

It was interesting to come across UNESCO again. (United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization).

Post Card Wall and 43things

While checking out Postcrossing I checked out Todd Schoonovers Post card wall. He is the reining champ of Post cards sent and received, over 1100 each way. Very impressive to say the least. While checking out his many cool post cards I came across his link to 43things.com , which is a goal setting web site. It's a community of Goal setters that inspire and cheer each other on. How cool is that!!

Post Cards in PostCrossing Project Blog

I have always loved postcards. From as far back as I can remember I was excited at the presence of one in the mailbox. I grew to collect them from antique stores and the such. I hopped onto this fun blog at Postcrossing-Postcards all over the world.

Lisan from the Netherlands has been participating in the Postcrossing Project since March 2009. Lisans Blog has many of her postcards that she has received. Along with the pictures of the Post cards its fun to read about the history that goes along with it. This reminds me of when I was a young girl not long living in the U.S. and had many friends back home in England that I used to write back and forth with, not to mention the stamp collection I had.

With all our technology and the Internet it is easy to understand how we lost a favorite past time of writing letters. Post cards are fun and non committal and don't take up a large amount of time. I'm sure I'm not the only one that gets overwhelmed by the thought of sitting down and writing a letter. I have a hard enough time writing emails. This Postcard project however seems like it could be a lot of fun. Thanks to Lisans Blog I have signed up and will be sending out my first postcard tomorrow in the mail:-)
