This pretty Cinderella card comes from Finland. The person who sent this to me considered sending me <i>Beauty and the Beast's</i> Belle since I live in Belleville, but ultimately decided the Cinderella card was prettier. Pretty funny! :)

Josien from the Netherlands went to Mexico for vacation last month and picked up this cool card. It's my first Mexican card, not to mention it features Mayan ruins, which I would love to visit someday.

Daniela sent me these cards. I love astronomy, so I had to have the Galileo card. I chose the photo of Queen Elizabeth because royalty interests me and because I think her outfit (circa 1885) is pretty neat!<br />

Yi-Ju sent this card through the <i>North America -> World</i> RR. It shows the city of Kaohsiung.<br />

Masha sent the flag card. She says the colors represent the colors of the sky and golden fields. The emblem in the center is a trident that's thought to represent the division of the world into three spheres: the Earthly, the celestial, and the spiritual, as well as the union of air, water, and Earth. Pretty neat!<br />
Iana sent the beautiful autumn card. My favorite season!<br />

Occasionally I sign up for lotteries on the Postcrossing forum, hoping to win free postcards from generous members. Elisabeth, who I've previously swapped with, had a lottery offering a card signed by all members who attended the Swiss meet-up. I unfortunately didn't win, but Elisabeth decided to send me a signed card anyway since I had helped her with her Civil War collection. Thank you Elisabeth!<br />

I started a new job this past Monday and it's been exhausting. I've gotten very far behind on uploading and updating. I've received 31 cards since I last updated! I also have 15 U2Us waiting for me at the Postcrossing website. This seems like a simple hobby, but it can be time-consuming! I love it anyway though. :)<br />
<br />
I'm going to try to keep these as organized as possible. Blogger has a limit on tags, so I'll be posting this in two parts.<br />
<br />

First up, the United States!<br />

Tara sent the Rhode Island card. The card says the "What cheer, netop?" means "how are you, friend?". It comes from the Native Americans who used to live in the area.<br />
A 9-year-old boy sent me the North Carolina card.<br />

Mary Ann sent the New Hampshire card. I like what she had to say on the back: "with only 13 miles of coastline it seems silly to have a flag with a ship!". I couldn't agree more!<br />
Tricia from Connecticut found my blog through sandbook.net and decided to send the Vietnam Veterans Memorial card to help with my collection. Thank you Tricia! It's a very touching card.<br />

D.J. from Arkansas sent me the Arkansas card in a private swap.<br />
Mike from New York sent the strange card for the <i>Weird/Odd/Strange</i> Round Robin. He says it's a New Orleans Marti Gras invitation.<br />

All four of these cards come from a private swap with Yvonne from Florida. The two bottom cards are replications of Thomas Kinkade paintings. Beautiful!<br />

It's gotten a bit too large to handle. I can't reach any higher than the top row and if I put any cards any lower, my cat will rip them down. So I've decided to only have my favorites on my postcard wall and to put the rest in a photo album that shows both the front and back of each card.<br />
<br />
<br />
Two cards received yesterday:<br />
<br />
From Lori in California, as part of the <i>Boring</i> tag. I actually found this card pretty funny!<br />

I made a mistake on an earlier post. The neat new card I had received wasn't made out of yarn. It's made out of fabric, which I still think is pretty neat, since it's entirely hand-made! I've even included the back of the "card", written as though it's a real postcard.<br />

Spain - It appears they have a lot of interesting architecture there! This card comes from Vanessa, who noticed I didn't yet have any cards from Spain. Thanks Vanessa!<br />
Malaysia - I think this is an ad card. Not entirely sure what the guy is doing!<br />
