About Ami...

I am a silly girl disguised as a grown woman of 31 years. I truly believe that we can all be responsible, well adjusted adults without losing our sense of childhood wonderment, and enjoy our time in this world in awe of everything it has to offer us ... laughing and smiling ... extending ourselves ... being an open door of positive reception ...

I am intrigued with learning what people are passionate about, and curious as to how they spend their days in different parts of the world. My inquisitive mind wonders:

Do you have a pet?
What song is stuck in your head?
Have you been reading anything interesting?
Can you smell something in the air?

I welcome postcards illustrating any subject.

When in doubt, send me the strangest, most off-the-wall card in your collection; oddities are most appreciated. I like cards with atypical images. I also like boldly coloured cards.

I would love to receive a card that you consider to be a "happy" card, or any card that represents a mood to you.
