Here it is - the iconic annual postcard as a limited edition! The year 2026 - what will it hold in store for us? Predictions are difficult in the Year of the Horse - but it will certainly remain exciting! We are once again celebrating the year in style with our popular limited edition postcard.

Enjoy 2026 with the papersisters notebook! Last year, we designed this journal for the first time.

There is plenty of space for memories and plans for 2026!The journal has 160 pages. The paper is blank and easy to write and stamp on. How you fill it is entirely up to you!A few ideas from us on how you could use the journal: - as a diary to record your experiences, ideas and plans or your books read- as a travel diary for trips and excursions - as a “snailmail” book for addresses, agreed swaps, (wish) lists of postcards   - as a meeting book for the postcrossing meetings  - as a creative journal for drawings, notes, stickers, stamps and washi tapes What else can you think of? Have fun! Dimensions: 148 x 210 mm (DIN A5) 160 pages, blank  Design by papersisters. Made in Germany.

In March 2017, a success story began - the first editions of our international postcard series "Happy Postcrossing from" aka HPC were launched. We dedicate these cards to countries, some countries already several editions, regions, sometimes a special city, seasons and special occasions. After almost exactly 5 years we celebrate the 100th issue of a HPC postcard - with an anniversary edition! Who could have guessed this? We are happy to celebrate and invite you to join in.

Postcrossing is connecting people around the globe via postcards. Different countries, cultures, values, believes, experiences and standpoints. That is what makes it so enriching and valuable - a global peace project in small steps.
