Valentines

I found these cards on a table one day on my walk to the library so I picked up a few. They are advertising for something, but they are also cute and were perfect to send this week. So there are a few on there way to some people I love. I hope they "FEEL the LOVE" when they open their mailboxes.

He looks just like Uncle David

Somehow daughter decided that this messanger boy looks just like my brother when he was little.  How daughter would know that, I have no idea.  She has only seen a few photos of my brother when he was young.  Of course, that meant that I had to sent this one along to him and his wife.

Forged Hearts for the Engaged Couple

On Monday I received the invitation for my cousin's wedding.  I thought that this card would be perfect for the engaged couple.  Hearts forged together.

Double Dare

Since my sister dared me to "make a mailbox happy", I decided to double dare her to send a second card.  This time, Postcrossing chose to have me send my card along to Hawaii.  This is a classic view of the CN Tower and the Roger's Dome in Toronto.

She Dared Me

The quilt featured on this postcard is titled: Reign of the Sun by quilter Diana Swim Wessel.  It is from her out of print book Inspiration Odyssey: A Journey of Self-Expression in Quilts.  Postcrossing gave me the address of a teacher in Russia.  I thought this would be perfect for her.  When I looked at it, it made me think of making paper quilts with her students.



Beauty and the Beast!

This postcard of Belle from Beauty and the Beast (click here to watch the clip of this scene on youtube) is on it's way to my friend Etsuko in Japan. she likes Hello Kitty but I didn't have any of those to send so I am sure she will like this one of Belle. Beauty and the Beast if my favourite Disney Cartoon, I have probably seen it 30 times and love it each time :) I saw it for the first time on the Champs-Elysees in Paris France when I lived there as an Au Pair girl. The Beauty and Beast 3D is in theatres right now.

I dared my sister who double dared me to send two postcards to postcrossing, www.postcrossing.com but I have done her one better I have sent one everyday for the last 5 days. I have two more too go till I meet my allowed quota of cards travelling at one time. It is nice to know I will make 7 people's mailboxes happy in the next week or so. this card with the flower is off to a young lady in the Ukraine.
