I traveled a lot this year and sent many postcards. Happily I received many as well, from all over the world!
As you know I have a particularly love of strange postcards, and happily sent and received many of them as well:
These are just a sample of course. I always send KLS/myself lots of cards when I travel, and between them and the ones you sent me I reckon there must have been nearly 100 arriving this year! ?
That’s a wooden card, which made it intact from Australia when I was there in January. Interestingly it only cost the same as a normal card to mail.
Speaking of stamps:
You may have not noticed, but I put a lot of effort into the stamps I put on cards. Specifically I try not to repeat stamps where possible. Watch for this the next you get cards from me. This past year it meant a massive variety of stamps and as usual Australia didn’t disappoint with their pretty and varied selection.
Of course in the name of fun I’ll sometimes repeat stamps:
This year I also took my postcard art to a new level, especially during the days in Hawaii where the hurricane shut everything down:
Many of you received original art this year as well. I hope you treasure it 🙂
Of course some of you reciprocated demonstrating talent that frankly shames mine:
Or created ‘modern art’ using other means:
No summary of 2018 in postcards could be complete without mentioning the dozen or so different Nessie’s I painted on cards sent from Scotland. It took ages but I was very happy with what I achieved…
In a few weeks I’ll be in Oz again, and then very shortly thereafter in Japan. In other words next years cards aren’t too far away. Look forward to them 🙂
