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!

Been Away Too Long

Whoops- I didn't mean to be away for so long. I was trying to organize my flickr account by country. It was ridiculous! Ohh well. I also received way too many cards to post on here so I only chose this one that I received recently and its stamp! Enjoy!

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!


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

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!
