Yay, it's Sunday!
Time to sent out some postcards to people all over the world :)
Here's my pink 'bag of Happiness', because whenever I open it,
I know I'm gonna do fun stuff :)
So what's in it?
First of all, of course, my collection of postcards
I go shopping for cards every 2-3 months, because it's a good excuse
to visit a big city or have lunch with a friend :)
I usually buy my cards in a small souvenir shop in Antwerpen, which is close to my hometown
The man who sells cards already knows me... A while ago he brought a box of old postcards for me,
that I could have for free!
He's such a nice man and I can't even think about buying my cards elsewhere :p
I know that Belgian postcards are not really 'special', because it's not a so-called rare country
But... we do have attractive things! ^^
Last year I took these free entrance tickets for the Atomium and Mini Europe (great
touristic places in Brussels, capital city of Belgium) and I like to add them to the cards that I send
Another thing that I like to add are small chocolates, wrapped with paintings of old Belgian houses
Yummy! ^^
Finally, I use stickers and pencils to decorate my cards
Last weekend I've bought some washi-tape too, the first tape shows paintings of camera's
and the other tape says: 'Enjoy the blue skies'
Colourfull stickers, flowers & cats & stars |
My washi-tape! ^^ |
Now I can't wait to go back to my postcards again :)
How do you decorate your cards? How much time do you spent on it?
How important do you find it to receive decorated cards?
Have a nice Sunday! :)
Honestly? I very rarely decorate my cards. I have a decoration tape that I sometimes use to put the line down the middle of the back, but that's about it.
ReplyDeleteI also don't care very much if people decorate the cards they send to me. I would much rather that they wrote something personal on the card they send to me. That said, if there's enough room for them to write me a message, and decorate them, I quite like it!
There are also a few members who ask for decorated or artistically altered cards...I have done a couple and to be honest, I loved doing them. At first I was horrified at the idea of "damaging" a card, but after that, I liked it!
