Mistery envelope!

A while ago, O’Neal announced there was “a mistery envelope” traveling my way. Of coures I was crazy curious, biting my nails, wondering what it might be, until one day – I found it in my mailbox! Two seconds later, these wonderful things were pulled out!

First, this great, great, great New York City postcard. Awesome view! [Btw. does New York really look so much better at night time???? Looking at the photos and seeing stuff on TV, it really does seem that way.]

Second, and I’m quoting O’Neal on this one, I’m “an honorary St. Louis Cardinals fan” and because of that, O’Neal decided to send me this great Cardinals’ decal! Such a cool design!

And last, but definitely not least, another New Jersey Devils decal! ::hearts flying in all directions::

I thought I’d be able to fit both decals on my laptop, but there’s not enough room. I can’t even fit one on it! So I’m looking for a place to put them. Until then, I’m keeping them safe! :)

Thank you, O’Neal, so much! Everything in the envelope was just awesome and a wonderful surprise! :)

PS – Once again, so many great stamps! And once again, USPS “forgot” to cancel them. I think they’re trying to help people save the money, ha ha! If I sent the envelope back to the sender, it could easily be used again! ;)

The Hockey Hall of Fame :)

This awesome Hockey Hall of Fame postcard came from Beatrice, my postcard pal! Such a cool postcard! Thanks, Beatrice! :)

Göteborg, Sweden

My friend Ana visited Sweden in March. Again. ::jealous:: She brought back these two lovely postcards!

Thanks Ana! :)

Salir do Porto, PT

This is a nice official from Portugal! Haven’t received anything from Portugal in a long time so this was a nice surprise! :)

Salir do Porto is the northernmost parish of the municipality of Caldas da Rainha. It has a beach with a famous sand dune almost 49 metres high. The beach is located by the river Tornada that flows into the São Martinho bay.

 

Canada’s cool!

You know how much I like Canada, right?! Anything Canadian (but especially maple syrup). That’s why I’m always happy when I make a new pen pal/postcard pal from (guess!) – Canada! That’s where my new pal Beatrice comes in this story. The newest one of my postcard pals. :) And here’s a postcard I got from her yesterday – straight from my favorites! <3

I can’t stop laughing!! I know I usually have a weird sense of humor, but… this card is hilarious! :)

Thank you, Beatrice! As usual, my card for you will be on its way in no time! ;)

Great Ocean Road, Australia

Awesome view, isn’t it?! It’s showing the Great Ocean Road in Australia and it was sent to me by my new postcard pal Kathryn.

The Great Ocean Road is an Australian National Heritage listed 243 km (151 miles) stretch of road along the south-eastern coast of Australia between the Victorian cities of Torquay and Warrnambool. The road was built by returned soldiers between 1919 and 1932, and is the world’s largest war memorial; dedicated to casualties of World War I. It is an important tourist attraction in the region, which winds through varying terrain alongside the coast, and provides access to several prominent landmarks; including the nationally significant Twelve Apostles limestone stack formations.

Oh, and check out these awesome stamps!!

Mail from O’Neal

Two lovely postcards from my postcard pal O’Neal! They arrived some time ago, but I haven’t had a chance to upload them here to my blog.

First one is this beautiful sunset — oh, excuse me, dawn postcard of Pittsburgh. Such a pretty postcard! As O’Neal mentioned, Pittsburgh is the home of the Pittsburgh Pirates baseball team…. I’ll just add – Pittsburgh Penguins too! ;)

 

The second postcard is this cute M&M’s card. So shiny!!! As I told O’Neal right after I found it in my mailbox, I thought of putting it on my wall behind my desk… but it really reflects a lot of light, ha ha! I had to found a bit darker spot for it – which I did, so it’s all good. ;) And yes, looking at this postcard does make me crave M&M’s… or any candy, for that matter. :)

Thank you, O’Neal!!! Great postcards, as always! :D
