I had all of my travelling spots taken yesterday so I got a bit upset that I wouldn’t be able to participate in WPD 2021. But guess what! One of the postcards I had sent got received today! So I got a free spot for WPD!

Me too - so pleased!
I’ve downloaded an address, when do I get the WPD icon by my name - do i need to wait until the postcard is registered? I’ve pulled a russian address, so this could take a while if so…

Me too! A friend reminded me about WPD yesterday after I had just sent two cards, which used up all my slots, but then one was registered overnight, yay!

Yes, as soon as the card gets registered the badge would appear on your profile, at least that’s what a friend told me.

That’s awesome! I’d been saving up slots for a few weeks because I wanted to be able to send at least one. I had 4 but was really hoping the other 3 might clear before then. They didn’t, but I got the best surprise ever on my fourth random address- it was a friend from the forum!

Sadly, we’re taking a little break to try to keep up with the load… It’s been intense around here today 
but hopefully we’ll be right back!

I’ve been thinking of you & Paulo since last night (North American time) knowing you both would trying to make sure everything keeps working when thousands of Postcrossers go to send cards!
Big thanks & hugs for you both! Thanks for all that you do, especially today!

I was so excited and in a rush to bring my three pstcards to the mailbox in time, so I forgot to take a picture 
I did send 2 official wpd cards and one with a panda

That Sherlock Holmes card is really cool.
I’m sure people will be glad about your postcards.
Ah, it was the last of a set of Sherlock cards I had picked up in London a few years ago. Thanks for the comment; I’m hoping people are happy, too!

Me toooo!!
My computer was slow so, instead of click once for getting 1 address… I clicked twice XD So, I sent 2 Postcrossing and 2 “to-friends” WPD postcards. I’m excited.
