This is another one crossed off my 101 in 1001 days list!

When I was drawing up my 101 things I perused the Day Zero site for ideas. One of them that came up over and over was to send a certain number of postcards via PostCrossing.com. I chose 25.

Why 25? Good question! I suspect I doubted myself as to whether or not I could keep this particular challenge up. See, I have a habit of avoiding the Post Office as I know that when I get mail it usually contains bills. But I stocked up on postcards and stamps and I discovered that most of the places that sell postcards around here also sell stamps! Win! And there is also a huge variety of postcards available in this neck of the woods!

I actually reached 25 cards a few weeks back, but early on I did not scan cards and some people don’t have access to scanners to scan them themselves. Now I scan every card before I send it and then once it is registered at the other end the image automatically appears! It is awesome!

There has also been an added plus for me with this project- I forgot that I would be receiving cards too! I have had some gorgeous cards in the mail. They can be seen here! It is so lovely going to the PO Box and finding pretties in there and not just bills!

This is a project I have loved and I will continue with! I now look at the post card racks at shops around town and have a stash of around 15 waiting for people to send them too! I suppose for me this task is easier than for some as I do live in a tourist town with plenty of cards available to me. It also gives me plenty to write about- although telling people I live in tropical Australia between World Heritage Rainforest and the Great Barrier Reef is getting a little repetitive!I now have no doubt that I will send 100 cards before this project is over. Bring it on!
