Photobucket (plus Photoshop). You're talking about Team ToasterPastry, of course?

Does anyone else, like me, enjoy receiving 'real' mail from all over the world? There are such a variety of members here that I thought it would be interesting to swap postcards of our town which have been written with a fountain pen. You could include details about the pen and ink you are using on the card, or just a general message about your hometown!

 

I'm happy to send postcards from Canterbury, United Kingdom to anyone who would like to receive one. Let me know in the forum below or send me a PM.

 

 

I am interested in the postcard exchange. New to this list and not sure how to send you a private message. My email is brdldy58@gmail.com.

Thanks!

I like them yes, but I goofed. I meant pmorin's cool snailmail and postcard exchange badge.

I have a gaggle of cards to go out once I pick up some one cent stamps! Thanks Rogerb for the interesting card, written with 11 pens. I'm going to try that!

Photoshop and a few spare hours While I really like the badges eilu made, they aren't quite my style, so I made myself some.

What is that a different pen for each word? :roflmho:

 

Edited to add:

 

Thank you ToasterPastry for the card showing the SD skyline - it's a pretty city

 

Cards are ready to go out to DRP, inkypete, pmsalty, hari317, eilu and LeftyCalligrapher - may take a little longer since Monday is a holiday

Thanks sdcurnow. Three weeks is base time now

Wow! That's sad. Even a package from the Ukraine only took 2 weeks.

[sdcurnow]

Received a card today from Okami.

 

Cards in the mail to: PlatinumUser, DRP, StephY, Succubus, diplomat, Piembi, Zerobuttons, Coldman, DonaSang, and Kabe.

 

Okay. I'm all caught up. I promise to answer them as I get them now.

 

Enjoy! Steve C

Tried this in a different thread for no response so thought I would ask here. Has anyone bought or at least seen these Parker Pen postcards? They look great but would like to know if they are FP friendly. Anyone?

I received cards yesterday from:

* Alexandrino, ...

That was quick! Good to know of that

Here's an interesting post on making postcards from photos:

Have any of you used the postcard backing found here:

And I'm wondering if there is a cheaper alternative to printed backing...

See my post #1160 on page 78 of this thread, I haven't received them but I'll let you know. With the sale at Walgreens I'm only paying about 43 cents per card. That's not bad.

Looks like a good product and the price isn't too bad - looking forward to feedback on quality etc.

I am using those for my photos. I sent 6 out last week, but haven't heard whether or not they arrived. They seem to do OK with fountain pen ink. Maybe if someone has received one of mine, they can let you know how they held up in the mail.

 

PS: Received another postcard from Suggie, a couple days ago. Thanks.
