Postcards: 4/19

Looks like I've been having themes this week. First cards from the US, then cards from Russia, and now all cat cards!


From Emma in Poland. She drew a cute dog picture to go along with the card.

My first Jetoy card from Lori in California

Another card from Amy in Washington. Very sweet!

A bunch of private swap cards from people in the US today!


Amy is a new user on Postcrossing and offered to send me this Washington map card. Thank you Amy!

Kristen from Florida is someone who I've swapped with in the past. Today I received these beautiful cards of a Florida beach and of the launch of the shuttle Discovery. Thank you Kristen!

Kori from Idaho agreed to help me with collecting cards from Idaho and Montana. Thank you Kori!

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: 3/30 - 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.

Lots of postcards today!


Beautiful shot of Cleveland from Tanya

Adorable baby picture of Donald Duck from Minna in Sweden

Funny animal card from Ukraine. Somehow I can't see my cat dressing up and going to the beach.

Thanks to Ekaterina in Virginia for this neat card

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!

Postcard: 3/28

From Harry in Arizona. Who knew the desert could be so beautiful? (Unless you're from the desert, of course!)

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: 3/23

From Nancy in the North America -> World: City Views Round Robin

From Eliza in the Photo You Took Yourself tag. Unfortunately the center of the photo got a little damaged during delivery, so I fixed it the best I could with my remarkable Paint skillz.

From Catherine in Australia. I totally would've named this cat Oreo.

Postcards: 3/20

From a fellow Kristen through the Space tag

From Para in Japan in the Fairy Round Robin

Olga from Ukraine sent this vintage card of Odessa, one of her favorite cities.

From Ingelill in Russia, from the North America -> World tag. Such a sweet card!

From Ana in Serbia. It was formerly the royal residence before World War II and is now the city hall.

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.
