Surprise from Honduras

A good friend of mine lives in Guatemala and makes occasional trips to Honduras. Honduras is a hard to get country, so she gets a high number of requests whenever she goes. As always, I wish her safe travels to wherever she goes and hope she gets to go to many new places soon! Thanks, Ale!

Cards from Denmark

Hi Hans! I hope you have stuck around long enough to see your cards on my blog! My deepest apologies! But here are the beautiful cards Hans has sent me in the past few weeks. Hans got in touch with me after he saw my name on a blog for a lottery. It was completely unexpected, but I am glad we swapped. Thanks for the swaps, Hans! I also love the beautiful stamps he sent along with the cards! I have seen the little mermaid statue and it was such a cool little landmark. Denmark was a great country to visit as well!

Magnet card from China

I received a lovely card from a chinese opera - and it is a magnet! Very cool, it is a lot lighter than I thought it would be! It is very flexible and does indeed stick to the fridge. Very cool card to have in my collection. Thanks, Irene!

Cats from Lincolnshire, UK

I got this fun card from the UK. It's cats having a sort of tea time. I chose this card over a few others that Wei had of landmarks. I regret nothing. Thanks for the swap, Wei!

Welcome to July!

Apologies to all my readers (or reader) for the delay! I have actually not set up any new swaps either because of a hectic workload. The good thing is that I get great overtime! The bad is that my postcard hobby has slowed down majorly. Right now, I am averaging 1 swap a week, and it's mainly people on postcrossing.com approaching me with offers. I send a few through the official site now and then, but I am behind on my goal of 10/month through postcrossing official. Now that I have transitioned to a full-time position, I cherish my free time much more!

Not by coincidence, I did not write during the world cup. I was ecstatic when Germany won against Argentina. I did a swap shortly after their win with someone in Germany, and they were able to send me a world cup (Weltmeister) stamp. This 3D card also has the coats of arms of the federal states (Bundesländer) in Germany. Can you recognize any? Thanks for the wonderful card, Hanna!
