Postcards!

As a traveler, I LOVE to send postcards to friends and family back home!  I mean, when does anyone ever get mail anymore?!

It is so fun to pop into a shop, find some postcards that show the places I’ve been, write them up in a coffee shop or on a train, and then drop them in a post box.  Images worthy of a travel show!

Let’s be honest, though, it’s not always this romantic.  The shops don’t always have cards of places we’ve been to and love, they don’t always have stamps, a post box isn’t just around every corner.  So, have I ever come home with unsent postcards, and had to drop them in the local mail box to be sent?  Sadly, yes.  Boo!

But, these probs are now solved, with some great apps!  These babies let you use your own pictures to create, write, and send postcards from your phone!  No need for multiple stops for cards and stamps and postal service, and you can even put yourself on the card!  The one I currently use is called Touchnote, but there are Postsnap,  My Postcard, and others, so check out your options!

If you happen to be between trips, use these as quick notes to friends, grandparents, and anyone else who could use a little reminder they are on your mind and in your heart!  Happy Mailing!
