text: 6 Bittersweets: September 2011
  I just love getting postcards from and sending them to loved ones, don't you? It's such an easy and sweet way to stay connected to your friends and family. And now they've become even more versatile due to online printing companies that let you customize your own designs for postcard printing like UPrinting. If you have a wedding or other big event coming up, you can even make custom invitations this way! What else can you use them for? Birthday cards, holiday photo cards, and whatever else you can think of! If you're now eager to make some personalized postcards, I have some great news. I'm partnering up with UPrinting to give away 100 postcards to one lucky 6 Bittersweets reader! This giveaway is open to US residents 18 years old and above only and will close at midnight on October 2. Please see the full details below and good luck! THIS GIVEAWAY HAS ENDED -- THANKS TO ALL WHO ENTERED!
  Leave a comment telling me what you'd use your postcards for.

  Thanks to my friend Steve-o, I am awash in new albums to explore this week. My favorite so far has been English folk/punk singer-songwriter, Frank Turner. "I Am Disappeared" (video above) is just one captivating tune from his latest album, England Keep My Bones. Hope you like it =D.
