My name is Gracie. My mom is @Bellusion. I’m 9 years old and I love cats! My mom and dad (mostly mom) redecorated my room and some people have asked to see pictures!
It’s not quite finished but it won’t be finished for awhile. Amazon sent the wrong thing and the replacement won’t come for 2 weeks.
These are some special Hello Kitty postcards that someone from here sent me. I really love them!
This is my cat wall!! All cat postcards that were sent to me. My mom said it would be more special than buying blank ones to use. A lot of people from here are sending me more cat postcards! It will go all the way to top.
This is the part that’s not finished. I will have a white cloth bench here and all my stuffies will go inside of it. Amazon sent us a brown one.
Hi Gracie @StarCatGracelyn
Nice decorations. Your state card collection & cat walk will be filled up soon & don’ t mind the rug, the rest of the stuff undermines it
Thanks for sharing.
I use a binder with foil folders. Thier size is A5, so no problem to put there postcards of diffrent sizes. I can see front and back of each postcard. I store postcards by the day of receiving in the mail box.
While sorting out my father-in-law’s house, we found this beautiful box which was designed for posting, so it seemed appropriate to use it for incoming postcards. I keep in here the postcards that I’m not going to display on the racks that I mentioned higher up this thread.
I also keep some envelopes and used stamps in this box.
I’m using a 12x12 scrapbook album (post, not 3 ring binder), with filler pages that I got off of Amazon (25 for $15, that hold six 4x6 postcards). I’ll post a picture of them on this thread.
At first I wanted to hang them on the wall or clip them to a string, but as I started to receive more and more postcards, I needed a better solution! I like my 12x12 scrapbook so that the cards stay protected and I can see both sides of them! I can still add more album pages (which hold six 4x6 cards) so I imagine I’ll be able to hold up to 500 before I need to start another album.
Hello,
I would like to hear, what you are doing with received cards.
Do you put them in a box under your bed for years ?
Do you put them into a book / album ?
Or on the wall ?
Or any other ideas ?
I 'm searching for the 12 best cards every year and make a beautiful
big calendar for the wall… (with photo/ picture program)
Other cards are in collection book.
Give me please another nice idea.
Thank you from posthexe
Hello everybody. I wanted to show you a new pic of my cat wall. Everyone is so nice. My favorite one is the trumpet because my best friend from my old school sent it to me but I love them all so much.
Seeing all these wonderful ways to store postcards makes me feel like i was less than creative lol
I punched a hole and put them on a large ring and have them in my coffee table as a conversation starter.
How do you store the postcard you receive from Postcrossing? Also, how long do you keep them?
I have mine in photo storage boxes indeed by year. I plan to keep them… Well, forever? I dunno. I haven’t thought about getting rid of them. I guess I might if we were moving and it was a space issue, but we don’t intend to move ever again.
I have two boxes with postcards and a pinboard for my favorites where I can display cards that currently make me extra happy and I found these pins with clips so I don’t have to punch through the cards.
those are wonderful! I would love postcard wall racks or even a rotating postcard stand.
