    Where We’ve Been: USA Travel Postcards

    The Inspiration: USA Travel Postcards I got this idea from a friend’s Facebook page – where he made postcards from every city he’s every been. Great idea, right? This is the first out of many travel postcards we plan to make. The first is of USA Travel Postcards – where we currently live now!
