I finally bought a hoop at the same festival I tried it for the first time last year! I got to choose the tapes I wanted and I love how it turned out!!! Now I just have to practice, practice, practice…
Let me know if you also want to see the pictures of the failed attempts - we all deserve a laugh :D
Irgendwo darin verbirgt sich ein "Deine Mutter"-Witz, da bin ich mir sicher… do your worst xD
Thank you (in my name and hers) for all the birthday wishes for my mom’s 55th birthday! She was so touched by the kindness of strangers taking the time out of her day to make her birthday more special. She proudly posted a picture of the cards in our family group chat and said it was worth more than any physical gift she could receive :))
I got her approval to post this picture, so this is my mom after opening the cards on the morning of her birthday: https://imgur.com/a/xMprwlf
u/Alarmed_Ad9001 Love love love how you decorated the envelope! And it was so sweet of you to put stickers as a little birthday gift - she immediately used them for her next postcrossing card! Thank you :)
u/ez330 Thank you for the colorful card and birthday stickers you used! Also, I’m obsessed with all the stamps you used. They are GORGEOUS, definitely keeping them for future crafts! :D
u/useful_anxiety_332 Thank you for the birthday wishes! The floral cat illustration on the card was the perfect choice - we all loved it! :)
u/gatsbygalaktoboureko It was so nice to read all the fun facts about the Smithsonian Zoological Park on the back. Thank you (and the wild animal gang of course) for the birthday wishes! And a birthday stamp :D
u/Ok_Reveal2698 Thank you for the pretty card - I love that it says "whimsical birthday postcard" on the back, very fitting description! We very much agree with the quote about cake you included (we had apple pie) and the stamps are so cute :D
u/travel4me22 Thank you for the beautiful card and sweet wishes! I really like the way you decorated it and your personalized adress stamp is so cool!
u/saltymidgie Thank you for your card! We really enjoyed reading your sweet and funny message and my parents will gladly adopt you (they’re 10/10 parents, can recommend!). We won’t hold your president against you, we promise :D
u/Ok-Theme7072 Thank you for the birthday wishes! It’s so cool to receive a handmade card - the stickers and color palette look really pretty :)
PS: We were on holiday during my mom’s birthday, so I wasn’t able to pick up all the cards before - but she will receive any belated birthday wishes in the next couple of days (which will of course get their deserved thank you's as well)! :D
Thank you all, Olivia and Claudia
Hi! Both me and my mom have been getting into Postcrossing last year - it’s such a lovely hobby to share and connect over and it brings her so much joy and excitement. For her birthday on June 10th I’d love to surprise her by flooding her mailbox with birthday wishes from all over the world. She’s having a very stressful and emotional time at work at the moment, so I’d really love to brighten her day with this and would be very grateful for anyone willing to help out <3
Any kind of card is appreciated! If you want some pointers - birthday theme, landscapes/landmarks, cooking/baking/recipes, art, handmade cards, cats, inspirational quotes… I think she especially likes getting to know something about where you’re from and connecting with people all over the world, so don’t be afraid to make it a little personal if you want to :)
Oh! Her name is Claudia! If you’d like to send a (post-)card, send me a message or comment the post.
(I will post thank you's and if she agrees a picture of her with the postcards)
-Olivia, the loving daughter of a great mom :)
