In case someone is curious how things are going with my new Postcrossing hobby: Cards keep dropping in. Four last week, and today I got three!
Here is a collage of all eight received so far:
From: Netherlands x 2, China, Lituania,
Norway, Portugal, England, Germany.
This beautiful card from China had really pretty stamps as well:

WOW!!! I love the Chinese one, and the one on the right in the collage, of the sailboat. I really need to get with it and join!!! NOW, I would also like to see the cards you are sending out!
they are all very pretty... i like the one that looks like a church.
so nice!
and a nice coincidence to find you taking up this topic today:
I just joined postcrossing this afternoon and wrote my first postcard to ... belarus.
now I am hooked ;-)
The Chinese stamps are indeed wonderful! And do I detect an Alfons Mucha in the lower left corner of your collage?
For various reasons I will not (as s rule) be showing images of the Swedish postcards that I send. For one thing that would feel like a more systematic breach of copyright rules than showing some random cards from all over the world.
It's a monastery (in Portugal) so not far from :)
Happy postcrossing! Be patient, it might take a little time before the first cards start dropping in. :)
Yes Meike, you have a keen eye... Alfons Mucha, Flower, Paris 1897. The card came to me from Norway.
Seems as if you're on your way to an interesting hobby.
The cards that you have received are all lovely, as well as the stamps that you highlighted.
Gosh, I may have to take some time out and take up Postcrossing....looks like fun....enjoy!
Wow, beautiful cards! These Chinese stamps are beautiful and so detailed, must be a lovely hobby :)
Postcrossing seems to be catching on! what a wonderful postcard of the bridge.
I have been taken with the most recent app for my iPhone which enables me to send a post card with my own photo direct from my phone. Definitely not in the Postcrossing tradition but pretty good for getting a non virtual message to someone.
I know we can do that via the Swedish postal service's website (maybe they've also got a phone app, I haven't checked). I've never tried it so far. I have bought self-adhesive postcard backsides to use with photos printed on my own printer though. I use those for sending personal greetings to friends. (So far I've not used my own photos in postcrossing context, but I might, depending on what kind of preferences recipients list in their profile.)
