i'm a book fanatic. i make jewellery and sell it at craft fairs and have currently got into scrapbooking and am trying to cram the last 23 years into a scrapbook.

i'm now also taking up ATC making but am currently only making them for trades on swap-bot though could reproduce one i've traded already if you so desire. i'm also now addicted to mini moo cards and trading those.

i collect stamps and love to get postcards through the post especially handmade ones. i'm also a part of postcrossing.

Around the world in postcards project

I am ‘travelling’ round the world through a travelling journal on bookcrossing meeting lots of new people and thought what fun it would be to have the world come to me through my letter box in postcard form.

So here’s the plan, i want to create a postcard book with a postcard from each country in the world in. (I will send everyone who sends me a postcard one back!) I want to bind them all into a little book which i can enjoy reading about the rest of the world and seeing the sights from the comfort of my arm chair.

All you need to do is

* email me if your interested and which country your from (ayirrell@gmail.com) and i’ll email you my address

* Then send me a postcard (6 x 4 inches or 10 x 15 cm) through the post naked, no envelopes.

* Either store bought cards or handmade cards would be great as long as they have a 2 cm gap (free from writing and embellishments) down the left hand side ( when horizontal)

* Please include who you are

* Where you are from (country)

* What the capital city is

* And a little bit about yourself

I will photograph every postcard i received and put them on my flickr account in a special folder for all to see.
