How are you celebrating World Postcard Day? Share your pictures and experiences

So far I’ve written two cards, one at my meet and one at home! I’m starting to get tired so I think my two draws will be it for officials, I’ll maybe organise some swaps once I’ve rested :slight_smile:

Did you know you get good luck for one year if your pen runs out of ink on World Postcard Day? :innocent:

Does it count if I empty the ink in my fountain pen to swap colours? :crazy_face:

Mmmm… interesting question! :thinking: I would say no… but you can try the scientific approach of trying it out and seeing what happens! Good luck, and please do report back, so we all know. :blush:

Wow, these stamps are beautiful!

My first postcard in over a year and on WPD. Off to Russia and the recipient likes her cards in an envelope. She also likes cats :cat::grinning: it’s fun to be back

Happy World Postcard Day! :slight_smile: I had a lovely weekend with a friend who is also a Postcrosser and this morning we sat in her garden (sunshine!) and wrote postcards together - it was wonderful :slight_smile: Now I am on my way home and will write some more cards when I am back.

I mailed out my swaps on Friday from Valencia, right in front of the famous market hall!

And I couldn‘t resist buying the cute mailbox, which now oversees my supplies for official cards and others I‘m writing today!

Hi hi!! Welcome to postcrossing!! @MichaelMechanical

If you have picked all of your 6 addresses and have sent the postcards that is it for you… You can only send postcards when a postcard you sent is received and registered by the person you sent it to… So when one of your 6 postcards gets received and registered then you can send another postcard to another person… Hope this helps!! :blush::sparkles:

We’re celebrating WPD in Lahti at a donut cafe! :doughnut: This year joint meetups by the Finnish Postcrossing Friends Association are celebrated in 31 places, each place having a meetup card with the same theme (this year local body of water). :postcrossing: :postbox:
