23 - Postcard from Malaysia

A postcard from Malaysia! Very cool! I think it is a good representation of what they have going on. It was received through postcrossing. I am really enjoying receiving all the different cards. I think this is my first postcard from Malaysia. I am not positive, though. I haven't organized my cards in a while...

Here is the stamp:

Canadian Connection - 4 - Winnipeg

A Canadian postcard from another Canadian Amy. She lives on the west coast and I am determined to visit one of these days! She got in the spirit of things when I was collecting postcards like mad and sent one from Winnipeg. This is Forks Market. Here is the stamp:

19 - Postcard from Orlando

I got this postcard from Orlando, Florida, US. It is not the typical scene I get from Florida, so I really like it! Plus, it is very clear where it is from. It was received from postcrossing. I would love to visit Florida one day. It is nice to remember that tourist cities are not all touristy...

Here is the stamp:

Collecting the States - 4 - Nebraska

Nebraska! These are the four postcards I have received from Danielle from there. She is also the person that suggested I join Postcrossing. I am having lots of fun so far, but I am also corresponding with people I have known for years. Here are the stamps she included:

Canadian Connection - 3 - Toronto

 

I love getting postcards from Canada. I always buy a bunch when I go anywhere and have postcards from all over the place from friends and family. (The guy even got his friend to send me some from the Northwest Territories!) This postcard came from Amy who lives in the big city of Toronto. I really enjoy the view and look forward to visiting again soon!

15 - Postcard from Orlando, Florida

This is a postcard I received from Nicole from postcrossing.com. I have always wanted to make it to Florida... One day! With the snow on the ground at the moment it is tempting!!

Here are the stamps:

14 - Postcards from Las Vegas

My mother recently went to Nevada, well, Las Vegas really, and these were some of my favourite postcards that she brought back. I saved some for when I do Nevada for my Collecting the States feature, but I had to share these. I really like the rainbow shots, don't you? The third and second from the end are sparkly, but the scanner didn't really do that justice. I don't have a burning desire to go to Vegas, but I hope to go there one day!

13 - Postcards from The Hoover Dam

My mother was recently on a trip that included the Hoover Dam. A trip means postcards for me. These are the ones that she brought back from there. I was just going to select one or two favourites, but I think they all have something to offer to the overall post, right? I have to admit when you look at the Hoover Dam Bridge from the angle of the picture it looks a bit scary, but I would love to drive across it! And, really, the Dam is just an impressive feat of engineering and a part of history. Hopefully one day I will get to see it in person!

Collecting the States - 2 - Delaware

One of my projects for 2012 was to collect a postcard from each of the 50 States of America. I am very close to completing this project! I thought I would count down and share what I have received/have from this project.

I emailed someone on Postcrossing to say I didn't have Delaware and she sent me a goodie pack of postcards. This is the collection she sent me from Delaware.

All of these postcards are unused, so no stamps this time.

6 - Postcard from Dubai

My mother went to Dubai last year and this is the postcard she sent to me. She generally buys me some unused ones, but she also sends at least one used one from her travels. It doesn't actually elaborate on what this postcard is of, but I am thinking a hotel.

Here is a stamp from there:

2 - Postcard from Russia

Isn't this postcard from Russia fantastic? I definitely want to visit here one of these days! This is The Red Square and a monument to K.M. Minin and Prince D.M. Pozharsky. This is my first postcard from Russia and it is wonderful! I was so impressed when I received it. It made me even more excited about what other treasures I will receive in the mail.

Here's the stamp:
