Findings

I love it when new people visit my blogs. It inspires me to go and visit theirs and have a little poke around to see what I can find.

Wendy commented on my blogs last night and caused to me to have such a rummage and I found two little gems!

Firstly Postmuse. I have found the delights of PostSecret and Postcross and making postcards but this is a new one. The writer of this blog has a huge collection of postcards but came to the realisation that blank cards are not as much fun as ones with writing and stamps and postmarks. The aim is to send all the postcards to people who have either visited or live at the places on the cards so they can write a little about them and send them back, complete with local stamps and postmarks.

I love this idea!

I hope to get a few cards sent to me so i can write about them and send them back!

The second is the Save the Words campaign. Apparently hundreds of words are dropped from dictionaries each year and are slowly forgotten about... This website allows you to adopt a poorly word. I adopted gipseian which means of the gypsies or belonging to the gypsies.
