Come on, Postal Services

People make efforts to send nice envelopes: drawings, stickers... Then the postals services add these wonderful oversized white labels!

From Catherine (France) and Erica Fustero.

Obelix

I got this postcard through the Postcrossing site. It arrived with a matching stamp on the back, chosen for a curious (but pertinent) reason:

"As you like the Smurfs,
I send you this card with the
stamp of OBELIX"

So I got this stamp:

Only nine years after the arrival of this one!

RAS

This postcard was sent by Claudia (Germany) on behalf of Laura.

I read often Laura's blog. One day I saw that she has received this cool stamp of Obelix, and I just commented that I love it. Now I recall that I also said it here... I really didn't expect to receive it, but sometimes snail mail brings big surprises. This beautiful postcard and stamps arrived as a RAS. I immediately found out that RAS stands for 'Random Act of Smileness'. That is a nice idea I had never heard before.

Actually, not random, but all the snail mail is an act of smileness, isn't it?

The postcard had a tough trip...
