I just purchased a printer-copier-scanner, so I am now able to scan my postcards and stamps. I replaced the previous image of the postcard from Kate and added the stamps!
I hope you enjoy!

Great blog! I just signed up to Postcrossing on the strength of it and am already mailing my first off to Hamm in Germany.
I'd really like to figure out a way to combine it with another project .. The Great Postcard Hunt at http://greatpostcardhunt.blogspot.com/
Cheers,

I'm glad you like it! I try to learn a little bit about each city I send a card to or receive one from.
The postcard hunt sounds interesting. How do you plan to combine it with postcrossing?
Cheers!
