No. It’s just me setting myself a limit to only send 3-4 cards a month, even though I wanted to write more. 
Plus they are only sold in big post office some distance away from where I live (but not that hard to find).

Not really. It is in Mijnsheerenland, which is past Rotterdam.

(Can be used as a real stamp)
I’ve been fascinated ever since it arrived.

I was just replenishing my supply of postcards from my go to store in town today and I spotted this pen, as it’s got my forum name on it I couldn’t resist.

Just received Liechtenstein stamps. Opening the envelope, I thought to myself, I surely did not order that many, that the envelope was bulging. I ordered all sorts of different stamps, I copy of each, and each comes in a little envelope…

Does your cat need a shrink now?
Can you print out a fake address for us to see the result of the label maker?

I have some Inkognito postcards from 10 years ago & realized they still make some of them, so I reordered several from Germany and they came in this mysteriously large box that felt empty.

Hi @SadSack 
Please see photo below. 
@Moderator - This is the address of a fictional character from a book for demonstration purposes only. The address is also of a museum related to that character and it is in the public domain. 
I had to hold the print-out down because it wanted to curl up! The green background is a cutting mat and the grid measurement is in 1 cm squares so that you can see proportions/size.
I printed from a screenshot. You will see two sizes of font. To get the bigger font, I just re-screen printed, turned my phone sideways, pinched it out and re-saved - voila - bigger pic! Then I went back into the printer app (called Tiny Print and free to download and use from the App Store) re-loaded the screenshot and re-printed the address. I did this to show you that you can easily change the font size if you think it’s too small - the printer will just print it sideways!
There are probably other ways to change font size, but this is I how do it. It’s dead easy and takes no time at all. You can actually type straight into the app. As easy-to-use as the app generally is, typing directly into it is a bit weird - you type into a tiny box at the bottom of the screen, not onto a ‘page’, so it’s hard to sort out layout etc and actually see what you are doing.
On purchasing one of these thermal printers, it will say which app to download. I know a lot of printers use the same apps. But I suspect any of the apps probably work basically the same way.
Hope this helps!

It turns out…I can’t read German and I accidentally ordered a POSTER when I wanted to order a postcard! Which explains why the shipping seemed a bit pricey. 
But now I have an accidental poster, which is quite lovely and thankfully, I ordered the rest in postcard sizes!

#1 Organiser sleeves
In the old days, I used to put the lettermails I received inside cookies boxes. Although they are classed in chronological order, this method makes flipping over past correspondence rather cumbersome.
Now, 1.5 years after I had joined Postcrossing, I finally decided to buy these A4 transparent organiser sleeves (called ‘A4 refill’ by the Japanese stationary giant Kokuyo) to get the pile of postcards I have received properly organised.
These refills come with 2 or 4 pockets, which suits conventional 5"×7" and 4"×6" postcards just fine. And because it’s made of highly transparent material, I can read the written words on the address side easily without taking a card out of the sleeve.
The only inconvenience I found is that the 30-hole configuration of the Japanese (and European) standard doesn’t fit my 3-ring binder of the North American standard. So I either have to buy Japanese binder or punch holes on the transparent refills to make it fit into our North American binder.
#2 Electric scale
This electric scale is definitely the best purchase I have made since starting Postcrossing. It’s accurate to 0.1g for anything under 3kg, which makes calculating the postage a breeze. A must-have for anyone who wants to take full advantage of the maximum weight allowance of a lettermail (especially for those living in high postage countries such as Canada)!
