Send a Quick Love Letter (with old postcards!)
Bet you didn’t know de-cluttering could actually be fun. I know I didn’t. But here I am addressing old postcards to everyone in our address book in an attempt to downsize my childhood collection. I’m not trying to send serious notes to people, just something fun.
Would you like to see a few?
I haven’t seen my brother for a while. That’s why we’re sending him this postcard:
With this message:
Heya little brother. Haven’t seen you around lately, so figured we’d better update you with the latest and greatest. Since pictures = a million words, here’s a photo of us and the fam in the new digs. Love Katie and Martin
And we’re really trying to convince a few non-travelers to visit us in Germany with these types of postcards (from England):
Oh my gosh! Can you seriously believe it? They’ve actually turned our house in Berlin into a postcard! It’s beyond amazing here. When should we give the maids the go ahead to get your chambers ready? -K
And another card I can’t wait to send:
Alrighty – which of these studly dudes do you want? You know I’m all about the international guys… and I think the one on the far left just winked at you. Go for him! -K
Like I said – who knew getting rid of clutter could be so fun? Now just for kicks – you want to take a shot at a message for this one?

Please come visit. I don’t think the plastic surgery was successful and I’d love some company.

It’s been challenging finding an orthodontist down here – maybe because the population is older; however, most of them don’t have their own teeth, so I’m golden!

What a fun idea! I love receiving cards that the senders actually put some thought in to!

How fun and funny!!?? This reminds me of a friend who made the comment, “It sure gets dark when the sun goes down.” Well, for the rest of the summer, a group of us (friends?) sent her black postcards with sayings like “The Badlands at Night” or “Minneapolis at Night.” She still has them…
I think I will try this with my 20 year old going off to stay in a dorm for the first time!
