I know I haven't scrapped in a while! Today I finally sat down to work on a page. This one came together really quick. I love when that happens!

Postcrossing
While I was on Facebook today, I saw someone post a link to a site called Postcrossing. I went to the site and was hooked.
Postcrossing: the postcard crossing project, by their own definition, is where you “send a postcard and receive a postcard back from a random person somewhere in the world!” I thought that it would be so fun to try. I think the world God created is amazing and the idea of being able to reach out to people anywhere in the world in such a fun and simple way is so thrilling to me!
It's free to join. The only thing you have to pay for are your postcards and postage. A total of 203 countries participate. You can send up to five postcards at a time (each to a different person). Once they receive your postcard, they register it online (more info on the site) and then your name is brought to the top of the list as the next person to be selected to receive a post card. It's not like a chain letter where you have people who break the chain and then you don't hear from anyone. This is pretty much a guaranteed set up.
It's cool to read about others who have been doing this for years. They have saved all of their post cards and put them in photo albums. I think it's so neat!!!
You can select to send postcards anywhere from 1-5 people. I decided to go to the max - five. It was so exciting to see where my recipients would be from! Do you want to know? *Drum roll please*....Brazil, the Netherlands, Russia, the United Kingdom, and the REAL kicker....SHELBY TOWNSHIP, MI! That one made me laugh! There was an option to whether or not you'd want to get/send post cards from people in your own country and I thought, why not! Our own country is amazing and so are the people who live here!
Now I'll be on the quest to find some fun post cards from our area. I've never looked before so I'm hoping there will be some fun ones!
Won't you join too?! It's a cool project for kids too - with their parents help. It's such a fun way to learn about other cultures and the people who live there.
Happy Postcrossing!!
