Postcards Out Going

Please note that I wrote this on Monday the 18th of January.  But I have only just noticed tonight.

Today 18th is my brothers special birthday. He would kill me if I told the world, so I won't. 

Early today I requested to send three more postcards. Here in the UK we are still in lockdown 3. So we knew we weren't going to go anywhere and as we live our mum. She is still isolating from the world.

I thought as we aren't going to be doing anything I would have time to write them. Plus when I take my dog out for his walk I could post them. (Yes I was going to trust an different postbox, than the work one.) But that didn't happen..

I will write them tomorrow evening to post on my way into work. 

The picture above is the three postcards I have picked out. So where are they travelling to, I hear you say. Well the corgi and fairy postcard is off to China. The postcard of my home town is off to Germany. The birdy one is off to Austria.

I will update when they get to their destination, hopefully it won't take to long. 

Take care and Stay safe.

Paw Prints By Claire Review

I came across Paw Prints by accident. The owner of the shop posted a link in the UK Corgi Group on Facebook..

Which I am a member of... Claire and I are both owners of corgis. Claire as a permbroke (aka like the queen's corgi). I on the other hand have a Cardigan Corgi. 

Picture above is of my boy Colin this is an old picture of him. Has he doesn't like his photo took, just like me...

Claire's etsy shop.

Paw Prints By Claire

I asked Claire if she had any postcards, as I was still on a mission to find some unique postcards. 

The answer was yes, I also told her about Postcrossing as well...

That night I made a nice little order.  My order arrived on Saturday the 16th of January.

This is what I ordered.

I will give you the heads up, there might be a wee bit of corgi related stuff. A one or two items. 

In the picture above there is a really cool little badge and the stickers I ordered. Picture below shows exactly what stickers I got..

Below are the postcards or prints.  I ordered a fair few of each. 

The print of the wee corgi below I am keeping. 

Next the last three I am going to use as postcards..

I love the art work and the positive quotes... 

Postcrossing

Last year ( 2020 ) a dear friend of mine mentioned she was sending postcards and after a while I asked her about it.....

This is how I learnt about Postcrossing!

After checking the website out and reading, then going back and re-reading. Trust me I read everything and then still couldn't make my mind up. 

On the New Year Eve - I decided that I would join and become a postcrosser. The next day 1st of January 2021 I took the plunge to signed up..

I did not send my first postcard until 13th of January. Only because I did not have any postcards, stamps and air mail stickers. Also I only trust the post box at work, silly really. But to me whatever I post seems to get to its destination. If I use another it never gets there, apart from the work postbox or the main post office...

The first two postcards I wrote and sent was of Weymouth seafront, my home town. 

To send a letter or postcard over seas from the UK costs £1.70 which is two 1st class stamps 0.85p each. 

At this moment in time both postcards are still travelling one is on its way to America and the other is off to Russia. 

I will keep you all posted when they get to the destination.

Tonight I will be writing some more...

Guess I best say Happy New Year - let hope this year improves..  I live in the UK and we are in lockdown 3.

So I thought I would come on and share some of my goals for this year.

1: Do something that is out of my comfort zone.. 

2: Get my garden back!! Best not ask whats happened there. I will do a post soon..

3: Spread more happiness during these difficult times.

4: Use up all my toiletries and craft stuff..

5: Save more (Personal goal)

6: Join Postcrossing 

7: Get fit (Personal Goal)

There is a few other things, but I'm not willing to share.  At the moment! 

Please stay safe
