Because if we don't, who else would send those specific pictures to us?? And buying a blank card to keep, I think less adventurous - and a less fine memory when we see the card back after 20 years - as is a real traveled postcard :-) <br /><br />The alternative is to send the blank card to me in an envelope, accompanied with a note about the trip, and consequently I would write your story in my own words and handwriting on that card, and thus send it back to you! Yes! I would love to do!!<br />Might be a nice mail project, don't you think so? The only thing is that your handwriting is more beautiful and readable than mine is - but that can also be part of the mail adventure (hardly-readable trip memories) :-)Heleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18206346242374113741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-782996301838206855.post-36860395268769240992016-03-28T22:29:53.424+02:002016-03-28T22:29:53.424+02:00:D

If I would keep a blank postcard as a souvenir I would not know what to do with them after years - I am sending out some cards from holidays long ago, and of course we can send them blank to Postmuse, to be adopted by someone else. But the few written and stamped cards are more 'me', and nice to keep as a little diary. I found a postcard sent by me to my parents in the nineties. Found it in an old book in my parents' place - my dad had used it as a bookmark - and I had totally forgotten both the card and the occasion, so it was great to have some memoriea brought back to present time by this postcard!<br /><br />Also commerce has discovered people who want to qrite to themselves: in my favourite bookstore I recently found booklets ritled 'letters to my future me', with instead of pages envelopes in which you can put 'letters to my future me'?!?Heleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18206346242374113741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-782996301838206855.post-85561400630230949172016-03-25T10:25:01.083+01:002016-03-25T10:25:01.083+01:00It's a great idea.
