Yesterday when the mail came my daughter asked (as she always does), “Is there anything for me?” Just as I was about to give her the standard reply “Unless you want some of these bills, no.” I saw a postcard peeking out.
Her uncle John always mails her a postcard when he travels. This time he had been to Ottawa and, again, took the time to drop her a quick postcard. She just loves it and has developed quite a collection of postcards.
It occurred to me that helping her to create a postcard album would be a fun project for us in the remaining few weeks of summer. (How fast the summer went is a whole different topic!)
Anyway, there is a great article Wish You Were Here: Postcard Albums by Ramona Greenspan posted at ScrapJazz that gave me some great ideas. She includes a couple of sites that sell pre-made postcard albums and also shows photos with a step by step list of how to make your own. It looks like a lot of fun.
Has anyone done an album like this? Other ideas for postcard albums?

Neat idea! (and resources!) A friend from college has sent countless postcards to my kids, and I’ve been saving them to do a pocket page layout, but I love this idea of a mini album. Thanks for sharing, Kim!

Oh WOW! I am super thrilled and beyond flattered that my article gave you some ideas for storing your postcards. Thanks for mentioning it.
