Albert Einstein's The Man!

Drumroll pleaaaaasseeeee! I have my first postcard for the Postcard Project!  So fantastic.  I can hardly contain myself! Hang on a second, Ima go dance for a bit. :3  "Happy Happy Postcards...La La La."

Ok, back!  Phew.  I got a little excited, if you couldn't tell. :) Granted, this postcard was received a little bit ago, but I have to catch up with the blogging world. I'm a bit behind.  But still!  A postcard for the blog! I loved the entire thing.  The postcard, the stamp, what was written on it; everything.  I can't wait to tell you guys all about it   Let's start with the postcard and see where this adventure takes us!

How cool is that postcard?  It was handmade/printed by the Sendsomething user "Fast Eyes". I think my favorite part of the whole postcard was the coffee ring in the upper left corner. Weird thing to like, I know, but I love it.   Sometimes I'm a bit wary of handmade cards , for several reasons.  Mostly because I don't always know what kind of medium they're going to use, but this postcard completely surprised me.  It was very professional and looked just like a postcard one could buy in a store.  Color me impressed! :)

Oh my goodness! Their handwriting!  I LOVE.  I am such a weirdo when it comes to handwriting.  When I find one I like, I go crazy.  And believe me, I went crazy.  Wondering why?  Well, let me show you!

Yeah, what did I tell you?  That handwriting is fabulous, just fabulous. It is so much easier to enjoy a postcard when the handwriting is readable and pretty or enjoyable to look at.  This particular postcard passed with flying colors!  I also particularly loved the quote from Albert Enstein. 

"I have no special talents. I am only passionately curious.". Einstein.

This quote resonates with me so well.  One of the things I tell myself quite often is that I am ridiculously curious and am always trying to figure out the things around me.  Am I great at everything I try? Oh heck no! Haha.  But I am always wanting to try something new!  Curiosity is something that is missing in quite a few people nowadays, it seems like.  Why are people so afraid to be curious?  How is that a crime?  Curiosity is the food that keeps things progressing and it's something I'll never be ashamed of.  Sure, maybe curiosity killed the cat, but he had a heck of a time before he died! :3  Nah, just kidding.  I am not goin’ to die.  

They were so fabulously thoughtful in the stamp they chose for my postcard!  It's an Arizona stamp that fits perfectly in my collection!  Take a look for yourself and let us know what you think!

I've always enjoyed the 'Greetings From..." postcards, so you can probably imagine my surprise when I found out they had related stamps!  It was insane.  I still haven't been able to find them, used or otherwise. Which is completely and utterly devastating!   But I haven't given up hope.  I'm going to keep on looking and maybe one day it will pay off!

As you've probably realized, I'm a blabber.  I can go on and on and on and then on some more when I'm not reined in, but hopefully, if you've made it this far down the blog post, you'll stay for the last few sentences.  I am so grateful to Sendsomething's Fast Eyes.  I've enjoyed writing about the first blog related postcard I’ve received, and I can promise there will be many, many more.  Hopefully this post was entertaining, but if not, let me know and I'll do what I can to make the next one better!

Happy Mailing!
