Im NOT really fond of: home made, self-printed, ad cards, Kaj Stenvall, Moomin, Hello Kitty, Anne Geddes, cards from one country with a stamp from another

I also collect stamps, so I love it when you use some nice ones...
no envelopes please...i want to feel the card has travelled to me...blank cards in an envelope are rather impersonal

here are my two blogs dedicated to postcards and stamps:

http://myphilatelicpassion.blogspot.com/

unfortunately, due to lack of time, I cant update them regularly and put ALL the cards and stamps I had received so far....hopefully, one day :)

Im studying German and Spanish as well, so if these are your mother tongues, a simple message in them would be highly appreciated to help me practice

ps. private swaps are ok if its not a problem for you to send first...HOWEVER, all those two-line requests with a demanding/rude tone, will be openly ignored..so its really up to you

pps. if you are into penpalling, feel free to write a letter along with your card, or just drop me a message you want to be penpals :)

if you had managed to read so far, thanks for brightening up my mailbox :)
