Postcards: 4/20

Two lovely postcards today. This pretty Cinderella card comes from Finland. The person who sent this to me considered sending me Beauty and the Beast's 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.

Postcard: 3/21

Only one card today!

Sent from Laura in Finland for the Disney tag. I've never seen Hercules before, but she says the character Hades is something to see, so I'll have to check it out!

Postcards: 2/24 - 2/28

My postcard wall to date!

February 24

From Martha in Florida who also sent me a refrigerator magnet. I sooo wish I lived there!

Beautiful castle shot in Germany

February 25

Official PC card from Kayla in Maine

My Polish pen pal Weronika sent this card of where she lives. Beautiful!

Adorable dog card from the Netherlands. The words on the front mean "Greetings".

From the US State View-card tag

Lovely Sleeping Beauty card from Anna in Finland

From Jo in Vietnam through the Military tag. My first Vietnamese card!

Postcards: 2/16

Four postcards today!


Lori from Florida sent me a recipe postcard for southern pecan pie last month. Today she sent me this recipe card for key lime pie. Yum!

Joana from Finland sent me this sweet kitty card from the PC Cat tag.

I participated in an I Want tag on PC. My request was to get a postcard from a state where I haven't yet received a card. Yvonne sent this North Carolina card. Map and lighthouse cards are hugely popular on PC, so this card is very valuable!

Rie sent this official PC card from Japan. This picture reminds me so much of my kitten Roscoe. The coloring of the cat is the same and this is exactly how Roscoe looks during Mommy and Daddy's mealtimes. He sits on a dining room chair and peers over the table at our plates of food.
I have also included the back of the card. I love how Rie decorated it. So bright and pretty!

Postcards: 1/23 - 1/28

I had a very rough week this week, so I haven't been updating. I lost my puppy on Tuesday. I take solace in the fact that she was 17 and was very much loved the entirety of her life. Kisses for my baby girl.

Postcards: 1/20 & 1/21

I've been participating in a lot of tags on Postcrossing lately, which has meant I've been getting lots of mail! PC's tagging has proved to be very addicting! There are several topics, such as the Disney tag, Close Your Eyes tag, USA to Europe tag, etc. Basically you "tag" the person before you and you send them a postcard based on whatever the topic is. Then someone else will "tag" you and send you a card. Most of the cards I've received in the past few days have been from tags.

January 20:

I received this one from Dawn, who I met over at TheKnot.com when I was planning my wedding. Thank you Dawn!

Lori from California sent this adorable photo of her dog.

Natasha from Belgium tagged me in the Disney Request tag. One of my requests was Aladdin!

Maija from Finland tagged me in the Churches tag. She got this postcard when she vacationed in Scotland last year.

This is one comes from Ohio and is from the Marilyn Monroe tag. I'm thinking it's from her early years. I think she looks much better natural!

January 21:

Marlous from Holland sent this as an official Postcrossing card.

Sunny from Illinois traveled through Iowa on her way to Nebraska and picked up this postcard. I think Illinois can compete with Iowa when it comes to being "The Tall Corn State"!

Jeanne from Australia sent this neat photo her photographer friend took. Pretty talented!

I participated in an Eyes Closed tag, which is pretty self-explanatory. Tag someone, close your eyes, pull a postcard out of your pile, and send it to the person you tagged. Katie from Reno sent me this strange card. Judging from the caption on the back, it's from a cartoon. That's the interesting thing about this type of tag... you never know what you're going to get!

This hockey-themed card comes from Tam in British Columbia, Canada. It was part of the Boring Card tag. I happen to like the card, since I'm such a big hockey fan! She was even kind enough to include a Vancouver Canucks sticker on the back. My husband wasn't very pleased with that, since this is a strictly St. Louis Blues household! :)

Postcards and letters: 1/17 - 1/19

I've been sick for the past few days and have been a little too drugged out to keep up with my blogging. I'm finally feeling better so figured I'd update. :)


From January 17:
I received this funny postcard through Postcrossing from Alena in the Czech Republic. The kitty in the photos looks just like Roscoe!

From January 18:
My pen pal Tiago from Portugal sent me a letter!

January 19:
Today I received a package from Finland and a postcard. This postcard comes from Emily in Michigan:

I had gotten in touch with Laura from Finland through Postcrossing and discovered that we both love hockey. I sent her the puck on the right since she's a Minnesota Wild fan. The puck on the left comes from the latest game I went to, that I'm adding to my collection for the 1001 in 101 project.

In return, Laura sent me the following puck and postcard. She took the photo on the postcard herself, of her favorite Finnish hockey team. The words on the puck mean "Hockey for everyone - 80 years" from when the Finnish Ice Hockey Association turned 80 years old.
