Hi all.
Tonight we have a different kind of happy mail. A couple of weeks ago I put out a call on the Facebook page for some Aussie Postcards. I include a letter with every quilt or laundry bag that I send off but if I send a second parcel to someone or when I send off boxes of laundry bags or whatever I always like to include a postcard. I can’t hand write much these days thanks to my arthritis but I can type so I type up a message,print it out and stick it on the back of a postcard. That way the recipient is getting a bit of a message (you can fit a lot on a postcard if you type it) and a picture of Australia as well. I used to love putting up postcards when I lived away from home and I reckon lots of our deployed folks like the colour too. Sometimes I know what their hometown is, sometimes I just choose a card from anywhere. They all seem to like them but a few weeks ago I ran out of cards. I usually stock up when ever I travel but still I had run out. So, I put out a call….. and you have all been so wonderful. I now have a lovely selection to choose from and some of the ones pictured are already winging their way around the world.
I can always use more if anyone still wants to send them.
I have already shared a few on Facebook but these are the ones that have arrived since then.
Thank you so much everyone. 🙂
Jacky G sent a great collection from Poppy Park
This next bundle from Kim B came with this lovely message…
“I hope these warm wishes from beautiful Broome put a smile on some faces. keep up the good work – you’re all doing a great job.”
And another lovely message from a recipient accompanied these ones.
“thank you very much for your hard work, This is my way of showing my appreciation for receiving my own quilt. Amanda”

Thanks so much everyone. This might seem like a small thing but a colourful postcard is so much more interesting than a plain piece of paper and I would not have been able to afford to buy this many myself.
Much appreciated.
Back to “normal” happy mail next week. 🙂
Till next time…………….keep spreading the word and happy stitching!
