November 28 Activities

So Saturday November 28 we went to Seattle with the in-laws. We went up the Space Needle which was super cool and I took tons of pictures! We also went to Pike Place Public Market and that was pretty cool too! The best part of the day though, was buying 41 postcards! Ok- that's a joke, but I did buy that many cards! Lots of Seattle cards! And I finally found Map cards with the State bird, flag, etc on it! I bought about 6 of those! haha

When we got home I found out that I had received three cards!
One from Finland from a TAG:

One from USA-NC for a TAG:

And the last from Taiwan for an RR:

Woohoo!

Tomorrow I will be sending out at least 10 cards. I have to halt with the Tagging and other RR's for a bit so I can work on the ever growing December RR- it's over 50 people right now! I'll get started on those this week!
Ciao for now!

Update

So yesterday (Nov. 27) I received 5 cards in the mail!
One from Brussels after a TAG:

Another is from USA-NC- a Direct Swap where I also sent out a card to Bonney28215:

Btw- I still haven't received my .98 stamps from the P.O. that I ordered online. Ugh!
Oh well- Happy Day!

Woohoo!

Today was a busy day for me in the PostCrossing World! I sent out 1 Official, 12 Unofficials, received 2 Officials, and 3 unofficials! Yay!

Yesterday, I went shopping at a thrift store with my mother-in-law and stumbled upon a stack of unused postcards from all over the world! I bought 126 blank postcards and 78 Christmas cards! The postcards were only $.10 a piece! We went to another thrift store and my mother-in-law bought me 44 more cards! I was so excited! I also picked up some random playing cards- about 7 packs to add to my collection, but that will be another blog soon!

So that was my busy day in PostCrossing!!

Merry PostCrossing!

Official and Unofficial Being Sent

So I'm about to head out to go to the post office to buy more stamps. For some reason I still haven't received the .98 cent stamps I ordered last week! Grr. I'm sending out a bunch of cards today though. I wanted most of them out two days ago, but no stamps. And of course the post office isn't open on Sunday so no sending any out yesterday.

The official card being sent out is to The Netherlands because my Germany card made it today!
Here it is:

The Unofficial cards heading out are giong to:
Russia x 2
Portugal
USA-OH, MI, & NC
China
Canada
France
Finland x 2
Belarus

So I'm only sending out 10 cards today (so far).
I have 3 Round Robin groups to send out, but I have a couple of specific cards I need to pick up. I am planning on sending those tomorrow (that will be 12 cards).

So that is the current update for Beachyblonde PostCrossing!

UPDATE: I sent 13 cards and bought tons more! hehe

Unofficial!

So I recently joined the PostCrossing Forum! It's really cool! It's getting expensive though and Eric's not too thrilled about that! I've sent out 11 cards in the past 2 days. At least 22 are being sent out today! It's craziness, but super fun! If there weren't so many cards I would post pictures, but sorry- that's a no go! I promised Eric that I would slow down if he would go buy me some International Stamps! I have some coming in the mail, but that's taking too long so I want to go to the Post Office to buy more! I will use them all!
Instead of posting pictures, I'll write the countries from the TAG cards:
China x 2
Poland x 2
Netherlands x 2
Italy x 2
Lithuania
Indonesia
Japan
Germany x 2
Finland
Canada
Russia x 4

Portugal

Today I also finished sending out my Round Robins!

I'm in USA and Around the World RR (Group 5) so I sent cards out to:
Portugal
France
Japan
Taiwan
USA- AZ, PA, WI

In the Water RR (Group 144) I sent cards to:
USA-MI
Russia
Germany

Woohoo!!

Somehow I only ended up sending out 22 cards, but my list says I have 24 cards... I'm trying to figure out where those extra cards might have gotten to. Or what- I just don't know! We'll see who doesn't get one and I'll resend I suppose. I'm sorry!

EDIT: I found those missing cards- they were still in my scanner! Whoops! hehe I didn't have enough stamps anyway so I will send those out as soon as I get my new stamps in the mail!

One Postcard In- Another Out!

My postcard to Russia finally made it so I sent out another card! This time to a little girl in France! I hope she likes it!
Just waiting on all 5 cards now! The card to Taiwan has been traveling for 11 days. Germany, Greece, and Finland for 3 days. And now France for 2! Woohoo!

Three Postcards Out/One Postcard In!

So today my postcards to China and Illinois was registered! So that means I had three (the one to Portugal on Sun) to send out. They are to Finland, Germany, and Greece! That makes the total sent to Germany, 4 and to Finland, 3. This is a first to Greece!

--Here are the sent postcards--

Germany:
Finland:

Greece:


Today I also had a surprise in the mail! It was a postcard from Belarus! Pretty exciting! It's been a while since I've gotten a postcard from anywhere! She sent it out on Nov. 2 so it took about two weeks to get here! Good to know if I'm ever sending anything to Belarus! hehe
