Postcrossing

I wrote about Postcrossing a while ago, a site whereby you sign up to send and receive postcards from members around the world. I just signed up today and have my first assignment...sending a postcard to Finland. The assignments are random but you can choose whether you want to receive one from your native country or not. I have been to Finland for work so i think it is kind of interesting that my first addressee would be from there. I will be sending one of my oil painting postcards.
