Another long delay...

Again, I got busy with life. It's been a whirl of snow storms, power failures, holidays, sickness and school finals, but now finally, the week of Christmas, I am finally able to update in here!

I've made some lovely pen pals. Some through the forum and some have contacted me directly on postcrossing. Yay! I've already received lots of lovely postcards and regular cards so that's nice. Hopefully I'll make some lasting friendships.

Here are some of my more recent favorite postcards:


BY-110003 Lovely winter scene and the postcard has glitter on it.


FI-957488 Can't go wrong with Santas on motorcycles!


JP-139472 This is just so cute and totally made my day when I got it!


NL-510071 It has a recipe on the back in Dutch, but is a super cute postcard.


RU-268190 The user said it's an advertisement postcard, but the seagull with a Santa cap on its head is too funny.

That's all for now. I'll have more to post soon!

Some new favorites!

I've received these official postcards over the last few days and wanted to share them with everyone.

Favorites day!

I'm now able to send 15 postcards at a time which is awesome. Of course waiting for them to get registered can still be frustrating! I'm trying not to buy anymore postcards because I have so many as it is. I want to buy some Christmas/holiday postcards to send out during December. I'll hopefully have the money to do it in November.

I've received some awesome official postcards and here are some of my favorites!


US-843203 Lewis and Clark on the Lower Columbia River, 1905. This will be going in my private collection.

CA-125352 This was sent to me by another mother and it was her first postcrossing postcard sent out.

Favorites.

These are some of my favorite received postcards from the batch of 40 that I just scanned in this week.


DE-659904 I thought this one was great with the gummy bears on it.


FR-103466 A combination of my love of cats and mailboxes. Plus, it's super cute.

TR-39044 It's shaped like a sheep. How awesome is that?
