About Brandy...

I just moved to beautiful Whitefish, Montana with my husband, James, our daughter, Talia-Marie, our cat, Chelsea and our adorable pug, Bogie. I love to bake, buy & send postcards, scrapbook, cross-stitch, quilt, learn new crafts, read, take photos & write my penpals. We love to go on adventures and explore different parks and beaches. My favorite seasons are winter and fall. Pugs and cupcakes make me smile.

I'm addicted to two shows: Longmire and Justified. I also love The Glades, Grimm, NCIS, and Ghost Hunters.

When I can, I love to donate to Toys for Tots (http://www.toysfortots.org) and the Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund (http://www.fallenheroesfund.org/). For various reasons, these organizations are close to my heart and I love to help when I can.

I have my Bachelor's in Criminal Justice in 2008 and earned a paralegal certificate in 2011. I work as a senior bankruptcy assistant/paralegal in my law firm.

I am obssessed with the history of settling the Wild West. I would love and appreciate any postcards that show buildings, people, etc. Or if you know of any great books about the history, feel free to tell me about it. You can see my private collection here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/vonxblood/sets/

Tell me about your favorite hobby or craft that you like to do, why you like the town you live in, where you would like to travel or go on an adventure to, what kind of books you like to read, why you like to send postcards, what your goals and dreams are or what inspires you. :)

I love any postcards that will come my way! Handmade cards are always welcome too.

These are some of my favorite things:

- the old west/wild west/Native Americans
- steampunk, skeleton keys, clocks/watches, Victorian era
- coffee, cupcakes, cake, candy, sweets, etc.
- mailboxes, letters
- lighthouses, jellyfish, seahorses, starfish, crabs & octopus
- pugs, huskies, wolves, buffalo, elk, reindeer, cats and cows
- Coke products
- trains
- snow/winter scenes and mountains
- Christmas/Halloween (welcome all year round!)
- Limoon

I prefer my cards written on and stamped without envelopes whenever possible. Please no advertising or religious themed postcards.

Please do not ask me to do private swaps unless it is related to the old west/wild west. Thank you!
