And One More From a Friend

And one more, this one from my dear Pat who lives in Florida. Pat was one of the first friends I met when I started blogging and we soon learned that we had so much in common that she began calling me her adopted son, and she became "mom 2" to me :p, now she's just "mama" :) I sent her a card and she sent one back saying that she hopes we meet one day and I so hope the same!!! And wishing me luck on finding a house and making sure I have her guest house in the backyard ;) Thank you mama!

Two From a Friend

These two cards both come from my dear friend Kelly in Canada and I absolutely adore them both!!! The one on the left is a valentine card from her and has Kewpie nailing a valentine letter on the door :) It reads "Please tack this notice on your door so everyone can see I've picked you out from all the world my valentine to be." So cute and so sweet. Put a smile on my face :) And the second one she sent me I absolutely LOVE! I have no clue what it is but it suits my taste in postcards perfectly...which is the bizarre. The only hint I have as to what it is, is in the top left corner of the back where it says "Zander Institue, New York City 1908"....hmmmm...A woman in a cage in an institute...may have to do some research. Thanks Kelly you made my day!!

Russia!

This is the last of the postcrossing cards for the day. This one comes from Russia. I love seeing all of these ancient ruins because it's nothing I'd ever get to see here in the US. I so hope to one day be able to see something like this in person. According to the card, this dates back to the year 1289! Wow! I love all of these gorgeous stamps too, but I can't get them off the card...so they'll get filed away with the card.

From China

Here's a BEAUTIFUL card from China!! It's a picture of a landscape called Keyan according to the sender and I'd very much like to take her up on her offer and go to China some day. It's a place that I've always wanted to see. I absolutely loved the stamps too :) I really need to catch up with my stamps :/ I save the stamps from all of my postcards as long as I can get them off and then mod podge them into a journal. I have so many to put in!

First Time Postcard From The Ukraine

I'm SO behind in posting all of the cards I've received both from postcrossing and from friends, so I'm just going to count the ones I haven't posted as "filed" and pick up from today because today was a good mail day!! This little card is so adorable!!! A pig on a motorcycle :p It came from the Ukraine and it was the sender's first ever postcrossing card :) Love it!

Three Fun Cards!

Just a quick post to show you three of the fun cards that arrived today! A card that says "Bonjour" from China, a really neat art card from Finland, and a card that says "We Live For This Shit" from Care celebrating The Shinealong :D Love them all!

Postcard From Poland

Another beautiful card with more super cool stamps :) This one is from Kasia in Poland...isn't that a beautiful name by the way? Kasia sends this postcard from the Tatra Mountains where she goes every year. I'd so love to see some beautiful mountains like this. One of these days. She also included a beautiful Jim Morrison quote that'll go in my quote book "The most important kind of freedom is to be who you really are." Kasia's a sweetie.

Postcard From Belarus

I got this awesome card from Catherine in Belarus! Belarus!! How cool is that? I've now sent and received cards to Belarus since joining Postcrossing. The longer I'm a member of Postcrossing the more I'm loving it. It's like getting to travel from your living room. Catherine loves extreme sports and is a social media manager. Cool huh? The picture is of their National Library and it's SUCH a cool building! I love awesome architecture. And the stamp is super cool too.
