Gel Pens and Postcards: A Modern Tragedy

I sigh with anticipation when I open my post office box.  I love to peer in and see all the pretty mail and postcards that people send.  I finger them and absorb both sides with my eyes rapidly moving from left to right.  Then I spy tragedy
A gel pen that has encountered moisture in transit!
My dear friends, gel pens bleed with any moisture and can smear on most glossy papers.    I love them as much as the next gal, but I try to use the pretty pens on the interior only.  A lesson learned the hard way.

 So remember, friends do not let friends use gel pens on postcards and address labels.
