Let me tell you about my day.

EEeeEEee!!!

The new hobby! It's time to tell you about it!

So, through Swistle I found Postcrossing, which is my new "hobby." I was unsure of how it would turn out. I mean, the website makes it seem like (a) you get the address of a stranger in another country, (b) you send that person a postcard, and then (c) your name and address go to another random stranger who (d) sends you a postcard! Easy peasy, right?

Well, because I never really trust that things will work out the way the Internet says they will, I was shocked when my first postcard arrived in Germany!

So, now, apparently, I'll get a postcard from another country? This sounds amazing and I am super-excited. I can hardly wait!

In other news, I bought these templates from Paper Source and spent a big part of the weekend making envelopes out of the scads and scads of scrapbook paper I have. I have never really done any scrapbooking. I just like collecting the supplies and admiring them from time to time. I do, however, write notes to people pretty frequently, so having extra envelopes will be fantastic! What a great way to use up my surplus! Of course, this now means that I have to shop for more scrapbook paper to make more envelopes. Quel dommage.

Oh, I hope you will LOVE it! I've had so much fun collecting postcards to send, and choosing which ones to send, and then getting surprise postcards in the mail!

I LOVE scrapbooking supplies. I have never scrapbooked either. I just want to POSSESS THE SUPPLIES. So far I have used admirable control.

Swistle, I just received my first postcard in the mail! It was magical and I'm so glad I signed up.
