Snail Mail!

For this week’s Writing Wednesday, I thought I’ll share something that I am sending out to my pen pals!
I love printing and sending images so I was really happy when I was contacted by Picstick.

PicStick is a company based in England that turns your images into beautiful fridge magnets.
They make such perfect pen pal gifts because each magnet is only 50x65mm and is 0.7mm thick making it very mail friendly and at the same time, you get to send beautiful images over.
They come in a grid of 9 photos so you can even create a puzzle or simply brighten up the fridge with them.

8 magnets because the last one is a private photo!

I love how easy it is to create an account and upload the images as all you do is drag and drop.
Although I would love to have a guideline on the size of the images I have to submit in order for it to turn out well as the file size for a photo I submitted was obviously too small to make a good print.
But I guess if you stick to 300dpi and 1000px, you can’t go wrong.

I printed some images from Thailand, Australia and Shanghai.
Here are the close up:

As I mentioned, I’ll be sending the last 4 of them to my pen pals along with a story behind the image so do contact me if you want to be pen pals(:
PicStick goes for £9.50/$14.99 for a sheet of 9 and the best part is that worldwide shipping is FREE!

Even better, if you use the discount code: JAMIE25 you will get a 25% discount! How lovely is that?
Last image of the dreary old fridge with magnets to brighten things up. Needless to say, I’ll be ordering my second batch very soon!

Brightening up the grey fridge! Yes, it’s a Leica Apron with my name on it(:
