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.

Postcards From Japan

I've been lucky enough to start exchanging direct swaps with a super sweet woman from Japan named Tohko! This is what I'm really loving about Postcrossing. Not only am I getting to meet people from all over the world, but I'm getting to actually know people too! And getting to learn more about countries that I've always wanted to go to! Like Japan! I've had a long term obsession with Japan and me and Tohko have been exchanging emails now and I look forward to all of our emails :) The first card she sent me was a post of Mt. Fuji!

Oh this card just blew me away!! She wrote about seeing Mt. Fuji and how much it blows her away every time she sees it and I can only imagine how amazing that must be. And I LOVE the stamp!!! If that weren't enough, today I got ANOTHER card from her!!!! Wait until you see how awesome this little card is :D

It's Tokyo tower!! With a cute little stamp on the card and even more amazing stamps :D I'm so excited about all of this awesome Japanese goodness :D And even more excited that I've made an awesome new Japanese friend :) Now I just need to figure out how to get these stamps off...does anyone have any good tips on removing stamps?
