Please indicate whether what you are sending is from Surprises in the Mailbox or You've Got Mail. I can register the ID much faster.
I grew up outside Chicago, Illinois, and moved to Colorado - love it!
I am an avid postcard collector. I attend local meetings and participate in the Children's Hospital Postcard Project twice a year. I prefer postcards that are blank and in an envelope—4x6 or smaller postcards; larger ones are difficult to file and store.
Please protect the postcard to avoid bent corners.
Mount Rushmore in South Dakota is my favorite place to visit. Since 1963, it has been my most visited spot, and I find something new each time. I have three 4" binders for postcards of "My Men!" and find more new to me all the time. Following recent construction, new Avenue of the Flags postcards will be available soon.
Likes - Butterflies, Civil War/Revolutionary War, Dachshunds, Dragonflies, Edition Tausendschön, Germany, Ladybugs, Lantern Press, Large Letter with images inside each letter, Lou Paper, Machine Embroidery, Map cards, Mount Rushmore, Owls, Patriotic themes, Pinecones, Scooby-Doo, Sewing notions, Snowmen, Statue of Liberty, Switzerland, Trains, US Presidents - (Jefferson, Lincoln and Washington) and Humpback Whales,
I dislike or am not into ATCs, bits of paper, tea, coffee, kawaii, or kids' stickers. I do not save Postcards with bent corners or pass them to others. I especially dislike the cheap 32-piece Vintage Travel Sights Landscape Retro Postcards from AliExpress or a similar site (smaller cards without a description on the back). The back is a sepia tone with just boxes on the top left.
I am excited to send and receive surprises. I appreciate the speedy registration of the surprises that I send. Knowing the envelope is not lost in the mail would be nice.
Please place a note somewhere outside and inside stating that your surprise for me is from 'You've Got Mail' or 'Surprises in the Mailbox,' along with its country and number. This helps me identify the different groups from which I receive mail. I would like to respond to the right website. Please put your name so I can properly thank you.
When sending postcards, please protect them to prevent damage to the corners.
Thank you for reading my profile.
Happy Swapping!
