Frame Personalized Postcard Souvenirs

 First run on Bonbon Break.

Whether your summer travel plans involve a trip across country or a night out in the city, be sure to buy a stack of postcards.

And, while you fill out postcards to your family and friends, why not write one to yourself as well.  Write out the highlights from your trip, the things that made you laugh.  Include the moments you want to capture and remember.

Put a stamp on your postcard and drop it in the mail.  Until we meet again.  Bon voyage little postcard.

Your 'back to normal life' self {the one suffering from post vacation blues}, will appreciate getting something in the mail other than the bills from your latest adventure.

That's exactly what I did when I was on my honeymoon with my husband 6 years ago.  Our postcard included some highlights and some misadventures but more so a sense of who we were while on our honeymoon.  This postcard brings back happy memories.  Memories which may have otherwise faded over time. 

Then, instead of tucking your postcard away in a photo album or a box, proudly display it.  Frame your handwritten postcard alone OR include the front side of another postcard from your vacation or use a favorite picture from your trip.

Those memories, the ones that may have faded, are now preserved and showcased.  The trip or adventure may be over but that doesn't mean the memories have to be as well.

*For those curious and or with bad eyes, the honeymoon postcard read:

The adventure of a lifetime.  The breathtaking views.  Staying in an over water bungalow in Moorea.  The barn with twin beds, barking dogs and roosters in Bora Bora.  Swimming with sharks and stingrays.  An off road trip, in a jeep, leading to a picture perfect view.  Our final night in an upgraded bungalow.  The only thing better....spending it as husband and wife.  The adventure is only just beginning.
