Hi All,
So here's a ist of missing states from my collection. I'm not looking for a specific card (ie: maps, historic sites, etc.) just a card that may say something like:

GREETINGS FROM [insert name of state here]!

Alaska

Arkansas

California

Colorado

Connecticut

Delaware

Florida

Georgia

Hawaii

Idaho

Indiana

Iowa

Kansas

Kentucky

Louisiana

Maine

Maryland

Massachusetts

Michigan

Minnesota

Mississippi

Missouri

Montana

Nebraska

New Hampshire

New Mexico

New York

North Carolina

North Dakota

Ohio

Oklahoma

Oregon

Rhode Island

South Dakota

Tennessee

Texas

Vermont

Virginia

West Virginia

Wyoming

I will cross them out as I receive the cards.
Even if you aren't typically a postcrosser, I'd be flattered that you would consider helping me out :)

Direct Swap: From Illinois

ms_postcrosser — Mon, 12 Sep 2016 23:54:32 GMT

I decided a few months ago that I would build a collection of postcards that came from each state in the US. Happily, my first card came from Illinois from irradescent

Thanks so much!

Lost Postcards in Fort McMurray Fire

ms_postcrosser — Fri, 03 Jun 2016 05:51:44 GMT

Hi all,
I know this is a strange request but please bear with me;
Nearly a month ago my family and I were forced to evacuate from our home in Fort McMurray, Alberta, Canada because of a massive wildfire which continues to burn. I found out a few days post-evacuation that my place burnt down.
I realize making such a request will never replace the cards I had lost, but this was the one hobby I was good at and I was completely devastated to lose something I've been building for years.
If you're able to help me rebuild I would be forever indebted to your graciousness.
If you'd like, I am able to return the favor, it may take me a while to get them all done, because of my financial situation, but I will do it!
Please message me for an address to which I am currently receiving mail.
Thank you so much in advance,
- Krys

I'm kind of excited. I've started using my cards as bookmarks, I just have so many!
But as a goal, on the back of each card, I am writing what book I read. Hopefully that'll motivate me to get more
cards in the mail.

For this lurverly card, I read a book by Jennifer E. Smith titled Hello, Goodbye, and Everything
in Between. If you're every looking for book recommendations, feel free to check out my blog @ blacknwritereviews.wordpress.com

Stay tuned for my next card-book combo :)

I couldn't help it. My dental office has sent a reminder that I'm due for a teeth cleaning.
But this postcard is too cute not to share, even if it's going to wind up in the recycling.

Shortly after my original request, my penpal sent me these two lovely cards. I certainly do love the vintage-y ones.

I replied with my own fun card:
