I put out an all-call for postcards from all over the US to my fellow Angels. After weeks of exciting trips to get the mail and checking off the states as the post cards roll in it is time to take the postcards from all 50 states (and DC) into a book to mail to my service member.
There are a variety of ways to make a postcard book. Frankly I am not sure there is a wrong way to do it. I have seen examples that range from very artsy and intricate (scrapbooked with multiple stickers and inserts), down to very plain and simple (laminated and put on a O-ring).
Mine are somewhere in the middle. I take the postcards and tape them on fancy colored paper with a label for the state name and if there is room the state nickname. I tape just one edge of the post card so that my service member can flip the postcard and see/read both sides of it.
Thru the generosity of my fellow Angels some of my pages have up to 3 or 4 postcards. Most have 1 or 2 postcards. At the end of the postcard are a few pages of generic postcards that aren't state specific.
I very much enjoy putting together postcard books as they are a great way to let my adopted service member know that it is not just myself, but people all over the US that support them. I hope that the books have been (and in the future will be) as well enjoyed by my service members as putting them together is enjoyed by myself and my family.
I know you may not have the need to put together a postcard book. However I can promise you that someone in your life would love a card or letter or even a simple postcard letting them know that you are thinking of them. I challenge you to send 1 such piece of mail to someone special this week. If you want to feel free to let me know about it in the comments.
Until next time remember:
Love The Seher Gals
