Italy and Netherlands :)

Aloha!

I received 2 postcards yesterday... One from the Netherlands (I love this card... the colors are awesome...)

and one from Italy. The latter I knew was coming, but the first came as a surprise... she found my blog and sent me a card! So, of course, I'll be sending out a card in return :)


I like them :)
Thank you!!!! :D

1 MILLION postcards!

I got a card today from a postcard collector who is aspiring to reach 1 MILLION postcards! This is a picture of their backyard during a blizzard. Crazy!


You can go to Send Me A Million Postcards to find out how to send them a postcard if you'd like!

PRIVATE SWAPS!!!

I LOVE getting mail!! Have I ever told you that?! Well, I DO! And today, I got 3 PRIVATELY swapped cards in my mail box! The first is from "The Snail Mailer" in Pennsylvania :D

THANK YOU! And you're right, it does look more like IA!

The second is from Tomomi, a 28 year old woman who has asked to trade with me, and in return has told some of her friends to trade cards with me too! I'm excited to receive their cards soon! Plus, she picked the PERFECT card! I <3 Disney! lol


And this last one I really appreciate. It's from James Polson in Omaha, NE. He and his wife are Temple workers at the Winter Quarters out there... Oh how I love my fellow Latter Day Saints!


I have sent all 3 of you a card in return... hopefully I read your addresses correctly, and you receive them quickly! And I also hope you like what I send you back!!

This is how I store my postcards...

Georgia and California :)

I love getting cards from people who find this blog. Today, I got this card from Chris in Georgia:

I think it's pretty much perfect.

I also received this card from Neil in California, who requested a private swap with me. He said he had an old postcard of the Oakland Temple and offered it to me. So, of course I accepted! It got a little scratch up the front, but other than that, it's really great! Thank you Neil!

Um...

I got this card from Russia the other day... and don't remember if it's a private swap... it has no Postcrossing ID on it either... so I have no idea. I tried finding a "lost ID", but postcrossing didn't have it... so, I'm thinking it was a private swap, but I don't remember where they requested to swap from... Postcrossing, or facebook?!?! Ugh, I'm sorry! If you read this and see it's your card, let me know! haha

It's beautiful though! Thank you :)

Dental Love

So... I get these postcards in the mail from the Wahiawa Family Dental Care office... and they all pretty much say the same thing "We want your business"... Even though I already have another dentist, it's still fun to get these postcards :) They've sent some good ones. Here are the only 2 I can find right now, but they've also sent some for the 4th of July, and Christmas and stuff... it's quite fun! lol

Postcard Exchange...

About a month or so ago, I participated in a "Postcard Exchange"... kind of like an old school chain letter, where you get a postcard with a list of 4 names/addresses. Then, you send a card to the first person on the list, cross their name out, and add your name to the bottom of the list, and send it out, with a postcard to 10 random people. Eventually, you're supposed to get 10 cards back, and only recently have I started to get some in return. Here is one I got yesterday:
It's a Jewish Synagogue :)



I also got a private swap from Monica Taylor in Canada :) She sent me these:




THANK YOU MONICA!!!!! I <3 them :)

SORTED!

I finally sat down and sorted my cards by country! Crazy me, huh??? I also bought my first 1 albums that I'll be putting all of them in. 1st for US postcards, and the 2nd for Finland, since those are the two I've received the most from so far:
