From Thomas in Germany (Direct Swap)


Hee-Hee! A bookstore! I adore bookstores. I don't think that I have ever seen a bookstore postcard before this. So cool! Thanks Thomas!

To the Richlow Family in Germany

They requested a "green" card, but I do not have a card that fits that definition at the moment. They also asked for other colors. This was the only card I had that seemed to scream one color. I hope that they like it.

To Cindy in The Netherlands

I am sending this postcard yet again. People seem to like it and it is a really great view.

To Iulia in Romania


A view from the hills of Red Wing, Minnesota. It is kind of pretty.

From Nikki in Taiwan


Look another postcard of Sun-Moon Lake in Taiwan. The first one was from Hank. It is such a pretty lake.

To Dot in Finland


I have been dying to send this card. "Dot" says that she likes old films. I hope she likes this one! I found a great line from the movie that works well with Postcrossing:

Remember George, No man is a failure who has friends.
~Clarence (played by Henry Travers)

From Lou in China


What a lovely Chinese painting I received from Lou. I quite enjoy Chinese painting, Thank you Lou.

From Janet in Norway


A postcard from Janet in Norway of a couple of Sami people. I don't know why, but the reindeer made me giggle when I first saw this card.

From Alexandr in Belarus


My goodness, it takes a long time for postcards to make it from Belarus to Minnesota. It took this postcard 47 days to arrive and it took just as long for the last postcard I received from there to arrive. However, it only took 16 days for a postcard that I sent to arrive there. 


It is difficult to tell from the information on the postcard itself, but believe this postcard is of the presbytery of a church in Hajnówka, Poland. Very pretty.

To Henk and Marianne in The Netherlands

Henk and Marianne said that they liked snow and ice, I think this is a good match for them. It is an ice floe at the edge of a lake. I have never seen this, but I would like to.

From Margrit in Switzerland (Direct Swap)











I received these three postcards from Margrit in Switzerland for sending her a copy of the Pez-Santa card I sent to someone else. I have also included the first postage stamps that I have scanned in. I thought they were absolutely wonderful, so I had to share. 

From Kerstin in Germany


Why do I never seem to live places with beautiful buildings like this?

From Daniel in Uruguay

Hmmm....I really love ruins. I think I should have been an archeologist. These ruins are of the Saint Franscisco Javier Convent in Uruguay. I would love to be able to look around there in person.

To Angel in China

I love this postcard. It is of Hidden Falls in Woods State  Park near Nerstrand, MN. I think I need to take a trip there this summer.

To Martin in Poland

I am very excited to send this postcard to Martin in Poland. He likes ships and sea ports. I think this fits the bill. The Duluth, MN/Superior, WI port is the largest inland port in the world. I love it when I can send a card that I am fairly certain that the recipient will like!

From Olya in Belarus

The Chruch of Mary Madalene in Minsk. Isn't it pretty?

From Thomas in Germany (Direct Swap)

Look at this beautiful building in  Dramstadt, Germany from Thomas. It was designed by Friedensreich Hundertwasser. It reminds me of Gaudi's buildings in Barcelona, Spain.

To Thomas in Germany (Direct Swap)

I sent this postcard to Thomas today. It is of the Dala Horse in Mora, Minnesota. I chose this card because it reminds me of my childhood. This horse stands just opposite of my grade school and when I was very young my father was one of the people who painted it.

To Tatiana in Ukraine


I love this photo. It is so peaceful.
