My recent person chain card postcard came home

I joined many chain cards before and this person's chain card is no different. It always brings excitement every time my chain card came home. I do not mind if it arrived a long time as long it will arrive back home to me.

This particular chain card is called the person chain card theme. It traveled 305 days en route to the Philippines, 3 USA destinations, Australia, Philippines, and came home to me.

This particular person's chain card is from Nick Velinda when he crossed Niagara Falls. There was not enough space for person stamps so I put the stamps on the front.

What is a chain card? It is a postcard that has a certain theme of stamps. There might be 5 or 6 members that will join.  You need to cover the other stamps and only show your stamps when you send your postcards to the next recipient.  You will always send your postcard to the same person. You have a chat group to know and where are the postcards now. You also need to show proof when you sent or received any postcards from the group. IThis chain card is all about a person so the stamps were persons from ranging of Presidents, athlete, special stamps, and heroes from all over the globe. Normally, you are required to place two stamps in a certain spot should just ask for one stamp to fit in my postcard.  It still turned out well. Thank you everyone for all your beautiful person stamps.  I hope to join my next chain card projects.

Beautiful postcards from my daughter's Philadelphia band trip

 My daughter K with the Jazz Band, Wind Ensembles Band, and the Chorus had a three-day band trip to Philadelphia. They rode the bus, the Grand Tour. It was a long bus drive for them. There were 58 total people which includes the chaperones. The total of the trip was $530 which includes everything except 2 lunch breaks. Overall, it was affordable. 

The group went to different sightseeing aside from performing for the concert. They won all three categories in the first place held in New Jersey. We are so proud of these students and their mentors. They performed at the same time and had fun in Philadelphia.

I told my daughter if she could buy her Mom some postcards. She said she would try but would not promise as their schedules are very hectic. I am happy that she bought me some postcards. I am very happy and appreciate her effort. Thank you my daughter for sharing your trip from Philadelphia with these beautiful postcards.

There were 8 different kinds of beautiful Philadelphia postcards. Some have doubles.

For better or worst this beautiful couple postcard from Greece is

 The couple is one of my favorite themes to collect in my postcard. The months of February and May normally will request to receive those sweet, romantic, or sexy couple theme postcards. Since this month is May, I requested this beautiful theme to receive in my profile. 

I am thankful to T for sending this beautiful couple's postcard all the way from Greece. It traveled 20 days from the day he sent this. This couple is in for better or worse, till death do they part.

May is our wedding anniversary and we are celebrating our 21st wedding anniversary. 

Sending myself a postcard during travels

 Have you sent yourself a postcard during your travels? This is my third time sending myself a postcard during travel. I asked S if she could drop this postcard in her mailbox. She said sure and I am grateful.

This postcard arrived only a day. It is a signed postcard from my first Postcrossing Meet-Up in Syracuse. I wish it has the Syracuse postmarked instead of Rochester. 

Anyways, I am still very happy. 

My very first Postcrossing meet up in Syracuse New York

Every time I received a signed Postcrossing meet-up, it makes me feel envious. I told myself that one day, I will sign postcards and meet Postcrossers like me in person. I can't believe that finally I got the chance to attend a Postcrossing meet-up and sign postcards. It feels like I am only dreaming.

I am thankful to S for hosting the meet-up and to B  for the ride. I was scheduled to work and ask my co-worker if we could change. I am so thankful that she agreed to switch with me. I work for her Friday and she worked for me Saturday that way I can attend the postcrossing meet-up.

B suggested that we will meet up in the middle of the Park and Ride in the Town Of Leroy. It is an hour or so from where I live. From then, we can drive to Syracuse for another hour and a half. My husband dropped me off and was hesitant that I ride with a stranger. I chatted with B and exchange postcards but we haven't met in person yet. My husband met B first and he was confident that B is safe. It was a fun ride to Syracuse with B. She is a fast driver. We arrived early in Syracuse. 

The meet-up is in the Community Center from 11 in the morning to three in the afternoon. S, the host is welcoming and friendly. I also met S's partner and the artist of the Postcrossing meet-up postcard. The food is so delicious from subs, cookies, and chips. They were also different kinds of drinks. 

I had an amazing time chatting with fellow postcrossers. It felt so wonderful talking to them about our love for postcards and shared experiences of how we started being a postcrosser. We signed postcards. I never signed so many postcards before. It was so much fun. It was my first time attending a Postcrossing meet-up and I can't wait for my next one. 

How about you? Have you attended a Postcrossing meet-up before? What were your expectations?
