Zine-Go-Round Postcard
Hi Chris! I see you are a postcrosser too!! :) And that you also like mailboxes. This mailbox is hanging outside my atelier (studio) And in May 2016 I was interviewed by Porter (for their blog) because of this mailbox. This was also the first card I designed for Postcrossing & since then I've expanded the collection quite a bit. The other card I will leave blank for you, so you can use that one. All the best...warm greetings from Ellen

Hi Chris, my name is Jessica. I am German, but I moved to the Netherlands for a job many years ago. My husband is German, too. We met on the internet!
NOTE: She responded to my thank you!:
“Hi Chris,
yes, the card shows my local library. They used to do postcrossing, too (TheBusyLibrarian), but they stopped because the postage costs have been rising through the roof in the Netherlands the last 3-4 years. It made me cut down considerably, too :-( It's becoming a little bit of a luxury in the Netherlands, doing postcrossing. But hey, it's a hobby and hobbies do tend to cost money ;-)
By the way, I took the picture myself and also, it is me in the picture, haha... They weren't open at the time I was there to take pictures and the staff was busy, but I wanted somebody in the picture to make it look more alive. So I took a remote-control picture of myself :-)
Well, wishing you a nice day & happy postcrossing.
Jessica”
