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!

Ahh- Take 3

So I am so bad at this! I really want to get back into posting the cards that I receive so maybe I will start only posting the official received cards. It's just that I don't have as much time as I hoped! I have enough trouble just trying to load my cards onto Flickr! I am trying to cut back on the amount of cards I send out so maybe that will help!

Here are a few of the hundreds of cards that I've received over the past months:
Aren't the lovely?! I love them all!
Anyways- I'm hoping to REALLY be on here more!!

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!

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!
