Been Away Too Long

Amazing Iceland

Today I watched this special about the recent happenings with Eyjafjallajokull- the Icelandic volcano. It was really neat! I was sitting there wondering how the Icelanders are doing and if I would ever receive a card from there. Finally I go to my mail box and lo and behold there is a card from Iceland! I was so excited- I still am! haha Here it is...
Pictures (Clockwise): Reykjavík (Capital City) * Þingvellir (Thingvellir- UNESCO) * Gullfoss (Golden Falls) * Strokkur (Geyser)

And the stamp...Isn't that really cool?! I also received 3 cards from the May RR, 3 more for the N. Am. May RR, another for the I Wish RR, and one more from a tag! I will be back with those cards, but in a different post because I don't like having to move around a whole bunch of pictures!

I'm So Excited!

I sent 15 more cards today! 2 swaps, 2 Officials, and the rest are for RR's.

The people at the Post Office are going to hate me because I will have them hold my mail and it will be piling up! I hope they don't lose any! I just filled out the form actually. So yay!
I received three cards today. I still have to scan them and update in the forum, but hopefully I will add them later. I keep saying that and never do it, I'm sorry!

I came back!!All About Nature RR From Eellaa (Estonia)Eyes Closed RR From Phuleshouse (Canada)
Eyes Closed RR From nordbaer (Germany)

So those are the cards that I received today! Aren't they great?!
Thanks for looking!

Oh Me Oh My!

I counted up all of the cards that I have sent since May 1 and I came up with over 50! That's not even including the 67 I sent out from April 27 to then! Oh my goodness- no wonder I was running out of stamps! ;) haha

Anyways- I received two really awesome cards today!From Maeuseturm (Germany) for Brazil X OC RR
From mrsjustusjonas (Germany) for I Wish RR

Aren't they great?! Hopefully I can make it back on here later to add the cards I received yesterday!

Changes Are A Comin'

Good morning! I decided to change the look of my blog to something a little more appealing. I would love to make summer colors, but I made this, I guess, a more Fall color scheme.

So anyways- I hope the new look doesn't hurt your eyes! Green has been my latest favorite color, but lately orange is becoming so. I'm thinking about collecting orange postcards. I just have so many collection going on already though!
What themes do I try to collect?

*Dolphins:
*Theme Parks:
*Skulling or Crew boats:
Anne Taintor:
*Lighthouses (and boats):
*UNESCO:
*Beaches:
*Maps:*License Plates:

See! I am already working on too many themes! Bummer! haha
Okay- laptop is dying so I must say bye- BYE!

Oh What a Beautiful Mornin'!

So today was a lovely day outside. Actually- it started off rainy. I know because I decided to walk the dog as soon as I woke up. Whoops. But after that I finished writing tons of cards that I had stamped and addressed last night. I made it to the Post Office before the Saturday pick-up. I sent 12 cards for the North American May RR, the 8 final cards for the International RR, and 5 tags. I think that's it. Guess what arrived in my mailbox for today! One Card! I was quite shocked- my mailbox hasn't been that empty in a loooooong time! It was a beautiful beach view of Fraser Island (UNESCO WHS) from crizle (Australia). It is a wonderful card! My scanner isn't working right now so I can't show the card, but I will try to remember to add it later.

Sooo I'm trying to decide if I want to rearrange the way my received cards are organized. Right now they are in the order of what they are, ie. RR, TAG, Swap, etc. I'm really thinking about putting them in order by country. It will be so much work though- after I've already put tons of time into the way they are organized now. I just don't see how this will work for the long run. Hmmm.... I'll think about it later.

But yes- I will be back later with cards- I hope!

I'm Le Tired!

I only received 4 cards today. It's been a slow week! Last Monday (maybe it was Tuesday..) I received 17 cards and 4 envelopes. This week I haven't even received 17 total! Well, maybe, but its pushing it. I would post the pictures, but I have to crop them and my head hurts so it will have to wait!

I did watch Survivor earlier though, and it was quite interesting! Those people are crazy, but I would totally go on that show! haha

I will leave you with this card though...Lottery win from Lena-Lena!

Oh What a Wonderful World!

So I said I was going to update more often, and I still plan to! I have tried a couple of times to load some cards, but I haven't gotten the hang of Flickr yet! I want to post more than one picture, but it just wants to make one picture a whole blog. There has to be an easier way!

Anyways- here are a few cards that I recently received:

Official From Finland FI-792917. Traveled 8 days.

A tag from elbe. A Colorado map card, sent from Germany!

You Choose TAG from Qusia (China).

Swap with JuliaF. Sent from the Dominican Republic!

I will try to come back later to load some more! And maybe some stamps!

Flickr

This is a test post from , a fancy photo sharing thing.

Update!

I haven't been updating this blog at all! I am so busy just trying to upload my cards to Flickr! I will try to update this more often.
Today is actually my husband and my 3 year wedding anniversary! The laptop I am typing on and New Moon are two of the gifts! He's amazing! We started dating 6.5 years ago! Craziness!

Anyways- today was a slow day for postcrossing. I only sent out 2 envelopes (RR's), an official to Italy, and a tag. I only received 3 cards! That's a very small batch comparted to yesterday's 17 cards and 4 envelopes!
So the cards for today are from Mexico, New Zealand, and Vietnam!
