Postcrossing around the Globe

Ooh #Postcards via #Postcrossing - two from Netherlands, one from Poland and one from Germany #PostcardsFromAroundTheWord A post shared by Jemma | JemmaJ (@jemmajh) on Jun 16, 2018 at 12:59am PDT It is exciting to be getting some Postcrossing mail; it brightens up my day. Here is what I have received over the last week: DE-7281059 NL-4136808 PL-1486025 NL-4136807 The cards that I have sent; which are now in their new homes are: GB-1012231 GB-1012233 GB-1012228 GB-1012230 GB-1012225 GB-1012216 They are in order of them being registered; this means I can now send another seven cards!

Today is Bank Holiday Monday or Easter Monday and sadly I am working this afternoon. However, this morning I thought that I would write some postcards and pop then in the post on my way to work. Ten Postcrossing postcards making their way to a new home!

This weekend has been a busy one for me; both in the Postcrossing and real life world. I have been working most of it - it pays for Postcrossjng and my crafting - don't forget he bills too! Anyway, I received five cards this weekend: These cards are from The Netherlands (NL-3328487), Belarus (BY-1837742), Germany (DE-4986747), Span (ES-395120) and the Czech Republic (CZ-825162) Aren't they a lovely bunch of cards. I cannot believe I have got so any cards now. I really need to organise them better. How do you think I should do that? In countries? Let me know how you store your collection...
