Postcrossing - with a new twist

I've not received any postcards in a few months, so to give it a little push to the finishing line, I decided to send another 6 postcards this morning. But I did it in a slightly different way.

A few months ago I used an iPhone app to send Ethan a birthday card from his favourite Christmas present from last year, a little cuddly mouse (that has since sadly gone missing, RIP Mousey). I did it, it arrived nicely and pretty much forgot about it until a few days ago when they sent me an e-mail reminding me that I had some credits left on my account. I looked into it a bit more, and found out that you can send postcards internationally as well.

In my opinion, this makes it the perfect partner for Postcrossing. It costs £1 per postcard, which might sound a lot, but the price of an international stamp is 88p, so this is a much cheaper option. Plus, you can use any picture you like from your phone and (my favourite part), you can do the who process without getting out of bed.

So this morning, I requested 6 new addresses (after getting Russia 3 times in a row, I changed my settings so I can only send to each country one at a time).

Some bloody big distances in there, so will be interesting to see how long they take to arrive. 

And if you have read about Postcrossing from me before and thought it was a good idea, but just couldn't be arsed with all the faff, now is your chance to give it a go!!
