It’s been months since I have updated this blog – basically I have been too lazy to scan postcards, upload images, decipher handwriting and transcribe it. I hadn’t intended to never come back to it – but it’s amazing just how many months have raced by.
Today I got my fabulous birthday present from Deb which has brought my attention back to postcards – she sent me Greetings from the ocean’s sweaty face – which is a box of 100 postcards to send and also A Postcard Memoir by Lawrence Sutin, which is a memoir inspired by the images on other people’s postcards. Thank you Deb! xx
When I came back to this blog I found some incoming links from a great looking site called Wild Postcards which led me to Girls go postal
Further inspired by all of this I finally replied to a couple of direct swap requests I got through postcrossing. I have been so so slack with correspondence. I’ve now got about 3 things from my penfriend Thelma to reply to.
So today I stocked up on stamps and airmail stickers to keep me going for a little while … $34 later I should be good to go …
Birthday goodies, including the notebook made from elephant poo - a gift from my brother
Welcome back! I took kind of a long break myself (coming back to the hobby a few weeks ago) but I was happy to see you show up in my blog feed today.
Thanks Chris
I found your address on your website so I will send you a postcard today.
I’m glad you’re back into updating. Missed your posts. I understand though – I’ve been the same with my grandmother’s diary – deciphering and transcribing takes time and I never seem to get around to it.
Thanks Judi
