6 1/2 Postcards

It's March now and the wind is blowing like mad, rain off and on, but warm now.  All the snow has melted.  I received two cards today in my poor destroyed mailbox.  This beautiful Mama Bear and her ice bear (polar bear) cub from Sandnes, Norway...



Carl from The Walking Dead arrived from Alabama, USA...



Yesterday I received four and a half cards.  These cute birds from Norway...



Lovely card from The Netherlands...



I LOVE this one from Germany!  Cemeteries and monuments is one of my collections but I rarely see any in the mail.  



This cute one came from Finland.  I love that Moomin postmark!



And here is my half a card from Hong Kong.  The postal service treated it very poorly indeed.  But she found her way to me somehow - at least the half with my address on it did.  It came in this big envelope...




Luckily, there was enough information on it to find the Postcrossing ID number and register it, with the help of the Postcrossing staff.  It was very expensive to send and very sad that it arrived in such terrible condition.  :(  Upon registering the card I saw that they had uploaded a photo of it before they sent it!  Here is what it looked like...



Love ya!

Snowy Card from Belgium

Well, my mailbox is toast.  The snow plow came through on our road and demolished it with the blade.  I found this poor card in the snow!  Seems fairly intact though.  Can't say the same for the mailbox, which is now currently leaning on the paper box for support.  :(

This is card showing the Mardasson Memorial (building behind the statue) which is a tribute to American soldiers who died during the Battle of the Bulge in December 1944 in the south of Belgium.

Awesome bear for my collection from Germany...



I love these musical ladies from Belgium...



Another from Germany... I can almost hear the waves crashing against the rocks...



Another for my musical collection - Sir Elton John in all his glory!  With the wonderful Marvin Gaye stamp, sent from Georgia, USA...

Well, I made the trek out in the snow to the mailbox.  I'm impatient for spring.  
This is what I saw for the end of February here in Ohio...



It sure is pretty but I am craving sunshine so badly right now!

I received a card showing Frankfurt am Main architecture mailed from Eppstein, Germany.

I'M BACK!!!

I took a little break from Postcrossing and postcard swapping for a while but now I'm back with a vengeance!  My good picture scanner is long gone forever but I have an excellent iPhone camera so here I go again!!  I'm so excited to begin again.  Let's see if I remember how to post stuff on here.  Hmmm...

I received this cute bear card from southern Georgia, USA today.  (Bears are one of my big postcard collections.  My Postcrossing ID is Mama-Bear.)



I'll see you tomorrow, My Dear Postcard Playground.

Love,
