Old Postcards

Old postcards are collectables. I just found this image of a 1909 postcard of the hospital and nurse's quarters in Corry, PA. I found it because this is the small town I was born in and I am always looking at things about Corry.



It is like viewing a small part of history of the town I was born in. Which is fun to me. Gee, how much more fun would it be if it had been a postcard with a photo of my grand mother's brother who had a major influence in building up the hospital in Corry.

Wishing Others Well

Consider making a personal custom postcard to use to send your special wish for the well being of others. You can use a nice photo of yourself for the front and then overlay a special saying that has meaning to you and can be used for many occassions. By using a photo of yourself then it will be recognized immediately and pleasantly by those that receive it who is sending the card. Then you can leave the back of the postcard blank so you can write your personal note for what ever occassion. Happy New Year, Happy Birthday, Get Well, Congratulations, ...

Since it is a custom photo each card will be unique from you in design and in what it says.

Here is an example of this type of card front:


And since custom postcards do not cost any more that a store bought card to make, and cost less to send and offer the ability to use a photo which people appreciate, then why not consider this idea for you to send special unique well wishes to others.

At GalleriaVentures we make it easy to design and have professionally printed postcards for your personal greetings.
