The My Collection merit badge is a great way of investing into a particular item that inspires you, or is the carrot on a stick for you to complete a task to earn things.
As with all my merit badges, I will be starting fresh with what I need to do to earn my badges, rather than back-dating anything to claim them early. I feel this is how I'm going to get the most out of the process.
For my Collection, I have decided that the something new and fun for me to collect will be postcards.
I was recommended this website called PostCrossing. This is a website where you are randomly generated an address from anywhere around the world, and you're required to send this person a postcard. There's no skipping, or cancelling. Once you've been given the address, that's where it's going!
In return, for every postcard you send, and is successfully received and logged by it's recipient, your address is entered in to the address pool to then receive a postcard from someone in return. Note, not the same person you sent your postcard to!
I've generated my first three postcards, one to Russia, one to WA, America, and one to Germany, all of which are to be posted tomorrow!
Hopefully all of my recipients love their cards as much as I do, and I look forward to them arriving safely, to allow for me to receive my first postcards from PostCrossing!
