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.

Postcards: 4/13 - 4/16

Adorable dog card from Belarus. I haven't received many dog cards, so I'm very happy to get them.
The clown card comes from Russia and is for the Weird/Odd/Strange RR. Yes, it certainly is all three! Clowns tend to scare me a bit anyway!


This card comes from Lauren in Maryland. I love crab cakes from Joe's Crab Shack, so I'm very excited to try this recipe!

Maksim from Belarus sent this beautiful castle card as part of a swap. Apparently they're going to turn it into a hotel. What a neat place that would be to stay!

This map card was (obviously) sent from Dresden, Germany. I think it's neat how it's in German!

This is a maxi card Luo Xia sent me from China of her city of Nanning. I like how she referred to me in her message by my last name! :D

Another adorable dog card from Colinde in the Netherlands.

Postcards: 3/24

My postcard wall to date:

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.


Two cards received yesterday:

From Lori in California, as part of the Boring tag. I actually found this card pretty funny!


An official card from Miranda in the Netherlands. Another adorable kitty!

Postcards: 3/16 - 3/19

I have updated my Shutterfly page. I have new postcards available for swap.


I've gotten six postcards since Friday.

*My first fairy postcard! Courtesy of Jette from the Netherlands, as part of the Fairy tag.
*Abbey from Alaska agreed to a private swap with me. She sent me this very neat glacier card. As of March 12, it was zero degrees Fahrenheit there, while it was 80 here!



*This vintage postcard is of San Francisco Bay and Alcatraz, sent by Sarah from Boston when she was on vacation.
*The cute manatee card comes from a direct swap. I just want to hug it!



*Adi from Croatia sent this cool card of buildings directly on the water. Adi's friend is lucky enough to live in one of the buildings!
*Anita from the Netherlands sent the pretty multi-view of her town of Hengelo.

Postcards: 2/9 - 2/11

Five postcards from the last three days!

February 9

Liene sent this card from Latvia. She says it's currently -20°C (-4°F) there! Way too cold for my taste!

Sent from Brad in Pennsylvania. He designed this card himself.

Karli from the Netherlands sent yet another adorable kitty photo.

Another card from the Netherlands. I love autumn. :)

Postcards: 2/3 & 2/4

I received this pretty card from California yesterday. That's San Francisco in the background.


Today I received three cards.

Official Postcrossing card from Roxanna in the Netherlands. I love the fuzzy kitty!

Another official card from Japan. It's raining cats and dogs!

This one is from a "Dance" tag I took part it. It comes from Russia. Such adorable kids!

Postcards: 1/14

I received three postcards today from fellow Post Crossers!

Shira in the Netherlands sent me this one, along with a recipe for apple pie. It's given me some ideas for future dinner parties!

Sabrina from Germany sent me this card. She's vacationing on the Canary Islands, so I'm assuming the photo is of a windmill there. Wish I could be vacationing somewhere tropical right now!

I received my very first postcard from Lithuania. Daiva sent a photo of her cat, who looks just like my Roscoe. What a sweet little face! According to Google Translator, the words on the front mean "the cutest greetings". That's very true!



I am now up to twelve pen pals! That's a little more than I'm comfortable with, but I'm hoping because of the distance the letters have to travel, I'll have time to write to each in a timely manner. Countries I currently need to mail to are Germany, India, China, Russia, France, and England. It's a good thing this is a three day weekend with no mail on Monday! That'll give me enough time to get caught up!
