All About Me

My photo
So I'm Whitney. I have a wonderful husband and daughter. I'm a wife and SAHM.
I love the beach/ocean and pretty much anything to do with it (maybe not rip tides). My new favorite quote is: “The cure for anything is salt water - sweat, tears, or the sea.” --I. Dinesen
So that's not necessarily ALL about me, but that's what the blog posts are for! ;) NEWS: I have decided to make this my collections only blog! Most of the pictures on this site are postcards where the pictures have been photgraphed by others and I do not claim that I have been the photographer, publisher, or anything but the recipient of a postcard. Thanks for reading!

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!

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!

I have missed blogging. It's been too long! I am hoping to keep this up! My scanner has decided to stop working though so we will have to see what happens with that!
