Postcrossing

I am an avid postcard collector and have been actively collecting them since my first trip to Prague in 2002.

I belong to three postcard trading communities, two located on livejournal.com and now postcrossing.com. H. introduced me to postcrossing and I can't wait until I get my first postcard. I have sent out five postcards on postcrossing with one waiting to be sent. Everytime someone get's a card from me and registers it on the website I can request another address and someone will receive my address and send me a postcard.

If I were to post every postcard I have gotten from the three communities...I would be set for a year of blog entries at least!!

Perhaps I should post some of my favourites once in awhile! I have at least one file box full of postcards, not all of them have been sent to me...a good chunk I have collected when I was in Europe.

I was going through the postcrossing.com website and I came across a story of a little girl in London, Ohio with a brain tumor. She collects 'sillybandz', her teacher asked her what she wanted to collect but hadn't started. Reagyn replied, 'postcards'. Now people around the world have sent her postcards and well wishes. Her brain tumor is wrapped around her motor nerves so the doctors cannot operate but she is undergoing radiation. The doctors think that they have a really good shot of making the tumor go away.

I found Reagyn's blog and address so I am going to send her a postcard tomorrow. Here is the webpage for any of you that would like to send her a postcard as well:
