There are my current favourite threads on the forum.  "4 postcards and other small things" is a lottery; it is still in the registering phase - no winner has been selected yet :( I have started doing Travelling Notebooks and Sheets again! I thought that I would try them again. They take forever to get round to the participants. Hopefully the books will be quick! I will upload images of the Sheets when I have completed them! They are almost done! Are there any Travelling Notebooks or Sheets you think I should be taking part in?! Please let me know!! "Countdown to GB-484848" is a thread for us Brits to post when we have sent cards out. I haven't posted there for a while. "Pottermore"; the name in the title gives it away really, doesn't it?! I am on there; if you are also there sent me your username!!

I know that my stats are that exciting; but hopefully I will have a happier mailbox in October! Official I have only sent out five cards; as the most recent ones will be included in my October stats!
