A little of a month ago, I brought up something new I had stumbled upon while surfing the world wide web. It is called Postcrossing.
For more info on Postcrossing, and how I found out about it, see my PREVIOUS POST.
As of today, I have been involved in a total of five “Postcrossings”
(Five from various categories – sent, received, or “in transit”)
I have sent three postcards (Two have arrived and been registered, while one is still in transit)and have received two.
I have sent postcards to the following locations (links to the postcard’s page) Finland, Ukraine, and Belarus.
When I first signed up for Postcrossing, I went out and bought a dozen “Minnesota” post cards. They are not exactly what I wanted to send out, but they represented a little something about where the postcard’s journey began.
================
I have also received two post cards (and will receive a third, once my “in transit” card arrives and is registered). Both cards I have received are from Germany (and not too far apart either!)
Here is a copy of my Postcrossing account map. The pink lines represent SENT postcards (that have arrived and have been registered on the site) while the blue line(s) represent cards I have RECEIVED. (It only looks like one line because the two cards I received were from separate sources so close it LOOKS like I have only been sent one card).
So far, the kids have been LOVING this!! They love the idea of postcards coming from all over the world, and #4 of 5 is studying Germany in school right now – so she brought my postcards in and explained Postcrossing to the class!!
