So about 2 weeks ago, there's an envelope in my mailbox ;) It's a postcard! From Samantha in Netherland :) She decide to send me a handmade postcard after she receive a postcard from me. She notice that I like handmade card that's why she send one for me. This card made by her mother. Isn't it beautiful?? :) Her mother is sick right now, that's why she help her to send it around the world. I hope she will get better soon. 

She also give me two nice bookmarks :) One of the bookmark have quote (I think that's a quote ;p) in Dutch and also in English on the other side. It's really nice and I love it! I need to get nice ribbon for them :) The Stamps also beautiful :) Thank's Samantha!

Fresh from the Oven! For Swap | Postcrossing

Finally, I don't get too lazy to print my postcards! This is some of pictures that I took while traveling. The picture quality is actually good and bright, but I don't know somehow when I print it, it become more darker XD (maybe need to adjust the brightness or something).

These three postcards below are in landscape size (210 x 100 cm). Printed on glossy photo paper with laser printer. It have matte finishing (because of the laser printer), but I will protect it with glossy clear spray, so it will last longer and the color wont faded. So, the end finishing is glossy.

And the others, are in potrait size (14.75 x 10.5 cm). Printed is the same paper as the previous one, but I already adjust the brightness. So this one not too dark. The paper quality is a little bit slight (200 gsm)

Those five postcards are ready for swap. If you like one of those postcard, just contact me!

Love, Ninu

Postcrossing : A Gift from Portugal

Yesterday, I got another postcards from Portugal and Germany. I got two postcards from Portugal, from the same person, Ana Maria. It was her second cards, because the first cards never arrive XD (I hope it will arrive someday).

It's really nice of her, send me two postcards. The first one, you can say it handmade postcard,  its one of the par t of a set drawn by Primary school pupils. The pupils make it to help a little girl, she is ill. The caption in the card "Uma Crianca e uma flor. Vamos ajuda-la a creser" means "a child is a flower, let's help him/her grow". It's really touch my heart ;') It's drawn by a 3rd grade girl named Ana.

And the other postcard from Ana is a cork postcard, which is really nice, I love it! I love the postcard texture ^^ The cork postcard was a birthday gift from her ;) She said she send me a gift, a bookmark, with her first postcard, the one that never arrive or haven't arrive yet. Oh, and the stamps also beautiful ;) I like the one with portugal china thing.

The last postcard from Hannah, in Germany. It was private swap. If you read this Hannah, I'm really sorry, I haven't send you postcard XD I will send it soon. So, Hannah live in small village in Boppard. It's really nice postcard, shows famous place in Boppard. She said that the wine is really famous there and also lots of castle there.

Postcrossing : Another Postcard from Germany

Two days ago, I got another postcard from Germany. Yeah, seems like lots of postcrosser from Germany. I choose not to set “not receive from the same country” on my postcrossing account because I love to receive any card from anyone, any place. But, maybe if I think I have enough postcard from one country, maybe I will change that setting.

Back to the postcard. This time I receive postcard from Rostock, eastern part of Germany. The card show a snowy building, or you can called it a house or something.  There’s something written in there “Reetcahhauser in Wustrow” and I don’t know what in mean ;p

I have one address waiting for my postcard, but I don’t have a chance to go to post office, Yea, I’m too lazy. But I must send it soon, have to be in this month. So, let’s keep the postcrossing spirit!

Postcrossing : New Postcard List! Estonia

Start this month of love with lots of smiling, especially my mailbox! YES this early month, I already got three postcards! Yay! So, two day ago I got my third postcard from Netherland. It’s a postcard with an ice skating place in Netherland . I’m not sure it’s a ice ring, because there are some boats there, maybe it’s a port.  This postcard sent in vintage recycle envelope, and it’s really beautiful. And also the stamp, I really like it, just like one of my postcard design, a tree. But I can’t really see the words on it.

The first Barge ride on river Emanjogi, the second one shows the town hall of Tartu and the third one shows the Tartu botanical garden. The stamps also nice, and I think it’s Christmassy theme.

The Butterfly feeling from Postcrossing!

So, i have been start swapping postcards for like 1 years now. I was wondering how i can get postcards from abroad, but i don't really have much friends out there. Then i found postcrossing! I like the idea of getting postcard from unknown people. Even my first postcard i got is from my friend (i make him send one for me :P) 

First Postcard from Germany! 

You know there's like a butterfly feeling when you got a postcard. I know it sounds weird, but who cares! I start loving what i am doing now. I have been officially be a member for 719 days, but i so far i only get 19 postcards (2 are missing XD). I know this is really slow, because most of people will get more after 1 year be member. But, i'm just really slow (and lazy sometimes) and i also got some postcards from private swap. But, this month, my spirit back! I sent like 10 postcards since November. And some of them already arrive :) yay!

Private Swap

Those postcards above i sent for private swap and for my best friend. Two of  them, i print it my self. Because i have seriously problem getting nice postcards in my city. 

Enough with the story, all i wanna say MY SPIRIT is BACK! I feel so festive and want to send more postcards! I got some postcards online, with unique design. So, anyone who want to swap with me, just hit me up!

Happy Postcrossing!
