Hello 😀
Its not Sunday and i'm late from my weekly blogging schedule.
But i think i'll change the day i post, instead of weekend i'll post on weekdays.
Anyhow, i've been struggle with my new clipart and untill yesterday, i actually really stress thinking about what to post today. The original plan was to post my newest clipart, but i haven't finish it ...
And then i realize my blog post mostly about my clipart or my online shop, it nice though to talk about it, but.. at first , the idea of this blog was to help me express my self , what i like, what i do and what i think ...
When i contemplating about it .... POSTCROSSING popped out in my mind.
I mention it on my previous previous post... long long long time ago .. that one of my oldest hobby was Stamps Collection, that hobby lead me to Postcrossing.

I forgot how actually i discover Postcrossing, but i remember how happy i was when i found it.
It has been 4 years since i join Postcrossing. i received almost hundred of postcards, was that too many or too little... sometimes i'm not active to send a postcard, due the limit of stamps and postcards that i have.
I live in a small town, i usually buy stamps at my local post office, but from about 5 years ago (?!), my local post office doesn't provide philately stamps anymore, they not renew the collection anymore , so i just can get an old collection there. And i personally like to send a fellow postcrosser a stamps that updated, like the kind they send me one.
So nowadays i buy my stamps online, straight from Jakarta.
When you love it, you do extra steps to enrich it.
For the postcards, most of the time i got it from traveling. Always spare a time to explore stationery or books store for a postcards. Or, online 😁
Below here i'll show , some of postcards that i've got and how they brighten my day.... behold 😎
When you open Postcrossing account , there was a profile page (like any account) , in that page, you can write about your self, what you like and what kind of postcards you want to received . Its not a guarantee tho you will get what you ask, but sometimes you'll get it.
Last year i wrote that i want a vintage and black and white kind of postcards... so there i got it ...
