November 1-7, 2013

I started out the month with a Mama-Bear from Finland (FI-1906173)...



This view of Mt. Fuji in Japan is called "Diamond Fuji" because of the sun shining like a diamond on it.  :o)  (JP-461398)



This quaint hotel is in Wendland, not far from Hamburg, on the Elbe River in Germany.  (DE-2599457)



An interesting picture of Alice from Ukraine.  (UA-812175)




From the Netherlands, this card depicts the famous Nijmegen 4 Day Marches and festival.  Sounds so fun!  (NL-2145122)



This card from the Ukraine reminds me of my youngest daughter, Shannon, who would always pick at the dirt and unearth all kinds of bugs and creepy crawly things and study them.  Unfortunately, now she likes video games too much.  :o(  (UA-800108)  
Really awesome stamps!!!



This one was sent from  Poland but shows the Old Jewish Cemetery in Prague, Czech Republic.  They estimate upwards of 100,000 people are buried here.    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old_Jewish_Cemetery,_Prague

From Taiway (TW-1056706)... very pretty!



I received this one today from the south of Portugal - what a lovely town!  (PT-328355)

I Love Snail Mail!

Lovely polar bear (ice bear) from Belarus (BY-1039031)
This is how I scanned it at first...upside-down!


This is the sender's scan, all pretty and nice...


This is what the postal machines did to it.  It did not fair well.



US-2473168 from Brenham, Texas.  I really love every card I get and appreciate the time spent in sending it to me.  BUT I must admit, these are not my favorite kinds of cards.  I don't think it's funny anymore, unfortunately.



Cute bear from Croatia!  (HR-46773)



I received the replacement for the card from Australia that was ripped in half when I got it!  (AU-312356)  How nice of the sender to send me another one - with those gorgeous Jacaranda trees!!  
I love it!  She used an envelope this time.  I will send her a thank you card for sure.  :o)



From Russia (RU-2065278) 



From Malaysia (MY-171057).  Sultan Abdul Samad Building was designed by British architect, A.C. Norman, in 1897, and has been nicknamed the "Big Ben" of Kuala Lumpur.  It is in the heart of the city and opposite the building is Dataran Merdeka (Independence Square) where many national events are held.  Great card!



This looks yummy!  Russian recipe card (RU-2080128)
