Blog > Postcrossing Spotlight: Twinkley from New Zealand

  icon

Sally, 45 y.o., New Zealand. She discovered Postcrossing through Bookcrossing. She enjoys gardening but was easily hooked on cards.

How did you come across Postcrossing? What got you hooked?

I was looking up bookcrossing and stumbled across Postcrossing. Postcrossing seemed to be able to a result quicker than the Bookcrossing. I sent, I received! I was hooked with the first card in my letter box.

Do you have any other interesting hobbies?

I really enjoy my gardening. Rubber stamping is another love, I sell the card I make to my fellow workers. I like to make a patchwork quilt in the summer and then hand sew them in the winter.

Show us your mailbox, your mailman/mailwoman, your postoffice or the place where you post or keep your postcards!

Heres my letter box where all my mail arrives. It is hand painted by a local craft firm.

Where I keep my postcards – just a couple of boxes right beside my computer, Im often browsing back thru them for a look.
