One of the most common situations on Postcrossing is receiving an address with a blank or very short profile.

Autumn always feels like the real beginning of the creative year for me. Summer slips away, I finally stop melting over my printer, and the shop becomes a tiny paper storm: new postcards, boxes, stickers, packaging chaos, and a lot of coffee.

Last week I received a special email: a note from Postcrossing congratulating me on my 17th anniversary with the project. Seventeen years!
