@Inlemay I think it is an absolutely brilliant idea. If you make them available to buy online I'll be your first customer!!

@ison_1 that might be too much hard work - I would rather just post you a whole lot - you will love them. I am having images in my sleep already - quite excited

I had this epiphany yesterday - my hubby actually suggested it when we were traveling in Botswana - he said that I should do many on our Province as well as the country and leave them at Museums (for sale obviously) and check their sales once a month - I have my job cut out for me - but I am going to do this! with their help - Inge is gonna help me with the Postcard design and a box to put the photo information - they will be a production of Inlemay - as this is our 3 names combined.

If the blank card is available you could actually print your own and eliminate the use of a printer, although the ink costs may outweigh the cost of printing. It is only in recent months, due to sending postcards to some Mylot friends, that I have begun to realise how elusive they can be at times.

@Inlemay I do have a fair number of fridge magnets from various countries, but do not normally use them.

@Inlemay That should be no problem to a young girl like yourself, but rather limited for an old fool lime me.

@Asylum they are my new best thing that I collect myself - that is my challenge, so see as many countries possible before I die

That's a very wonderful idea . Not only will there be a personal touch but at least the recipient knows how all of you in the family are looking now .

I thought to print my own postcards and I would be pleased to print also my stamps... I am not sure that the authorities would appreciate about the stamps.

@Inlemay If I propose a design, may be (very may be) they would accept, but if I design the stamps, print them and use I am not so sure.

This is a great idea - and very sensible too. We already have a postcard of sorts with kangaroos on it - naturally.

a most brilliant idea, somethin' i've'd folks bug me 'bout fer a couple years - makin' postcards 'n note cards from photo's they've seen i've taken. i fear that i don't believe mine to be'f that "caliber", not e'en knowin' where to begin such a task. there's only one place i've found 'fer 50 miles that sells postcards 'n that'd be our lone truck stop clear'n the other side'f town. their choices leave lots to be desired, hopefully that'll change 'fter my conversation with the manager...but i'll not be holdin' my breath. i'd be most honored'n humbled to receive such a gift from yerself :)

@inlemay So few people i know ever send postcards now. I haven't received one in such a long time. Personal rather than commercial postcards is a good idea, a lot more meaningful, less generic than what's on offer in shops.

Thats one of my thoughts as well, but i will be doing a few tourists ones for our local shops on the Highway - we are on route from the top of SA to Cape Town

That is a great idea, using your own photos. It might even make money!

I am not really in it for the money, but we have a Museum that has no postcards, so when the sun is out again, I shall take my camera and go to the War graves - English/Spanish/German graves and take one or two against the great tree background, and we have a wonderful Game reserve as well, plus the First Historical house of 190 years old along the river. There are some great places to take photos. The I have many of our country as well. I am going to give it a go

That´s a good idea. I have designed some postcards in my Zazzle account. I think I have designed German postcards a few months ago as well. I will just check that tomorrow as it is already midnight here. BTW, I received your postcard last Friday. Thank you very much.
