Postcards: 3/30 - 4/7

I feel like I've been away forever! 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. :)

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.


First up, the United States!

From a private swap with Ron in New Jersey


Elizabeth in Delaware agreed to swap with me and she sent me this card

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.
A 9-year-old boy sent me the North Carolina card.


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!
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.


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

Postcards: 3/1

A few weeks ago I didn't have any North Carolina postcards, and now I have four!

My first card from Croatia! What a beautiful landscape.

Postcards: 2/21

I received EIGHT postcards today, as well as two letters from pen pals!

Starting off with the cards I received from within the country...

This one was sent to me from Tennessee as part of a Round Robin. The words on the front mean "So, this is where junk cars go to die".

This card from Margaret is the first I've received through this blog! She sent this before I had gotten the other North Carolina cards. She saw I didn't have any from NC, so decided to help me out. Thank you Margaret!

Lori from California sent this one as part of the Ship tag.

From Samantha in New York, through the Request an Animal tag. I asked for anything cute and fuzzy, and this is what she sent me. Definitely cute and fuzzy!

Danielle from Nebraska agreed to do a private swap with me. I sent her a card of St. Louis and she sent this one of downtown Omaha.

Now on to the three world cards...

I received this cute Pinocchio card from Russia.

Another cat card from Sherry in Taiwan! I love kitty cards!

I sent a birthday card to the friend of a Postcrosser from Turkey. I received this pretty card in return.

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!
