I grew up outside Chicago, Illinois, and moved to Colorado - love it!
I am an avid postcard collector, attend local meetings, and participate in the Children's Hospital Postcard Project twice a year. I prefer postcards blank and in an envelope - I prefer 4x6 or smaller postcards; larger ones are difficult to file and store.
Please protect the cards to avoid bent corners.
Mt Rushmore in South Dakota is my favorite place to visit. Since 1963, it has been the most visited spot ever for me 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. Since recent construction, there will be new Avenue of the Flags postcards 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,
Dislikes or 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 do not like the cheap sepia 32-pcs Vintage Travel Sights Landscape Retro Postcards from Ali-Express (smaller cards without description on the back. The back is a sepia tone with just boxes on the top left.)
I look forward to sending and receiving surprises!! I appreciate the speedy registration of the surprises that I send. It would be nice to know the envelope is not lost in the mail.
Please place somewhere outside and inside that your surprise for me is from You've Got Mail, and its country and number. It helps with the different groups I get mail from. I want to respond to the correct website. Please put your name so I can properly thank you.
When sending postcards, please, please protect the cards to avoid bent corners.
Thank you for reading my profile.
Happy Swapping!
