Sunday Stamps: Postcrossing

 Good day, and welcome to my stamp and postcard blog.  I am participating in Sunday stamps sponsored by SeeitonaPostcard.  The theme this week is the Letter P.

Our hostess shared a Postcrossing stamp, and I was able to find one too!  From the Netherlands:


Postcrossing is a way to send postcards to strangers all around the world, and get postcards from strangers back.  I was active for a few years and received about 1000 postcards, from many countries.  I am not active anymore - the postage costs started adding up.  I had joined to share with my children cards from around the world and teach them geography.  Well they grew up and were not as interested anymore.  I still have my albums filled with cards.

Visit SeeitonaPostcard for more entries!

I have a page on Facebook: keep up with my infrequent quilt and stamp posts at https://www.facebook.com/pages/Viridian61/347674418583948?ref=hl

I love the Postcrossing series from the Netherlands, and I have received both of them (all the stamps!) thanks to a friend.

I'm not as active in Postcrossing as I used to be, but I still send a postcard from time to time.

I have just recently restarted Postcrossing and am surprised that many of the cards I'm sending are to people who signed within the last year. Good news, I think. The best way to travel.

Always nice to see a postcrossing stamp. I don't do it anymore either more about storage space than cost.

I have never been a postcrosser but still have many postcards from my travels around the world,

If I'm not mistaken, this was the first Postcrossing stamp issued... or at least I think it was the Netherlands that started it all :)
