I've been an avid fan of sending and receiving mail since I was a little girl and am delighted to discover this post card exchange. I welcome postcards of ANY design and hope that you will include a comment about where the card came from or what it means to you. Quotations are also welcome.

I love stamps and I always pay as much attention to the stamps on the postcards I get as much as the card itself.

My hobbies are many and they include travel, photography, cooking, baking, candy-making, knitting, crochet, quilt-making, watercolors and calligraphy. I love cats (big and domestic) and have an orange tabby named Sunkist. I also collect tarot decks and oracle cards from other cultural traditions. Other interests include mysticism, Eastern religion and philosophy, yoga, tai qi, and meditation.

I've spent time in China, Taiwan, Spain, France, Germany, England, Ireland and Scotland and I hope to see many more countries before I'm done!

I love making my own cards to send, if this interests you and you're willing to engage in a direct exchange, contact me to see if I currently have time to make a custom postcard for you!

MESSAGE FOR ADELE: I received a postcard from France. It says "Le Trisket" on the front. It has no postcard ID. If this is an official Postcrossing send, I want to register it. If it's a direct swap, I want to send a card to you. Please send me a message and help out :)
