World Post Day 2015 Meet-Up

Hi, everyone!

The World Post Day 2015 Meet-Up has reached it's conclusion yesterday, 

October 7, 2015 at 1pm up to 3:30pm.

Armed and complete with my paraphernalla for the World Post Day 2015, I organized a Meet-Up with a fellow Las Piñas City resident or Las Piñera, Jasmin T. Rañola, who is a Stamp Collecting Aficionado since she was young.

The Meet-up was arranged with the Las Piñas City Post Office and was held at both Las Piñas City Central Post Office supposedly with snacks at the nearby SM Center Las Piñas at Cafe France, but  we had our lunch instead.

Armed with my Postcrossing Friendship Notebook & 2 Meet-Up Postcards

My 2 Meet-Up Postcards all Ready for the Occasion

Jasmin arrived early prior to our 1pm set time for the Meet-Up.  I arrived 2 hours earlier, while Jasmin arrived almost an hour early, as both of us hadn't taken our lunch yet.

A Hickory Chops lunch for both of us at Cafe France

We hit it off immediately and found ourselves a new friend in our hobby of stamp collecting, chit-chats on stamps, the art of stamp collecting, of postcrossing, philatelic groups and about ourselves.  We may even be travel companions in the future for Stamp Exhibitions and for me added is Postcard Collecting and Maximaphily.

Jasmin brought along from her recent travel, postcards from Dakak (from Dipolog City) as souvenir for me.  She regaled me stories of her Dipolog vacation, as she wrote on my Travelling Friendship Notebooks and signed the Meet-Up Postcards.  While, I leaf thru her Stamp Album in wonderment seeing the various stamps both here and abroad that she has collected for over numerous decades.

We proceeded to the Las Piñas City Post Office to mail off our Meet-Up Cards and take Jasmin to a mini tour of the said Post Office:

HAPPY 2015 WORLD POST DAY, everyone!!

On Needlecrafts Postcards

Hi, everyone!

I had been glad to have received Needlecrafts postcards from Europe (Ukraine & Netherlands) in the past 2 years that I have been postcrossing at Postcrossing.com and swapping postcards in Facebook.

Ukrainian Needlecrafts Postcard

Greeting Card on the Right: Belgique Crossstitched Greeting Card sent from Netherlands

With the above, I decided on my goal of coming up with my own Needlecrafts postcards by my Creo by Lady Katutz hobby label.  It was to announce the return of my very 1st hobby which I called before as Brooches n' Crossstitches, my crossstitching hobby.  It has been my love for crossstitching, brooches and pins.

This month of October 2015 came the culmination of that goal and dream, as I have been thinking of coming back to needlecrafts after finding my love for scrapbooks.  And happily, I've finished my very 1st Amorsolo Girl with Mangoes crossstitch masterpiece this month of October 2015.

So, in celebration of BnC's return and the upcoming Creo by Lady Katutz blogoversary next month in November 2015, I'm releasing my 2 Needlecrafts postcards.  These were completed for the said occasion and moment.

The above is part of my Art Card Collection #1 for Art Series (Part III) explicitly, named Creo by Lady Katutz. 

The above is taken after my crossstitched Girl with Mangoes project.

(My 10th Postcard Batch printed for year 2015)

The postcards are a tribute to Postcrossing Handmade Cards, Postcrossers and Postcrossing Groups Around the World, Travelling Postcards Postcrossing Group; and Proud Pinoy Stitchers.

"Greetings From (GF) Philippines" Postcard of Postallove

Hi, everyone!

I would like to share the pack of postcards I received / claimed yesterday (Sept. 30, 2015) on a happy Wednesday from customs . . . 

It's the very 1st ever Greetings From postcards all the way from Poland.

I have collected a few Greetings From of other countries in the previous 2 years I have been active as a postcrosser.  I have been collecting them thru postcrossing swaps or postcard swaps.  Then, I stopped and fancied other themed postcards.

Now, I'm glad to say, I waited and dreamt of having Greetings From Philippines postcard produced by the same postcard company from Poland.  Yes, these aren't fake Greetings From.  They came from the Real Postal Love.

I would like to thank Postal Love for the gift of 1 postcard from their catalogue.  The postcard looks great together with the Greetings From Philippines postcard.

I was counting on having these in time of my 2nd Postcrossing Anniversary or even in time for the 10th Postcrossing.com Anniversary.

Now, I'm thinking of having these on the go on my 5th Blog Anniversary of my hobby blog Creo by Lady Katutz on November 11, 2015.  Or, better yet, for World Post Day, this month of October 2015. . . . to send thru postcrossing and offering a few for swaps.  I guess that would be best!! =)  I heart World Post Day!!

I can't wait to start sending and swapping . . . in short to commence collecting more Greetings From or GF postcards of all the countries; and / or maxicards too in exchange.  I'd like to request GF cards to send from the country itself complete with postage and written.  I hope it's not too much to ask 'coz I'm doing the same in sending my Greetings From Philippines postcards.

Thanks, muchie!!
