PollyJ

Hi my name is Polly and I live in the United States very near St. Louis, Missouri. I am a mom of 5 kids (2 girls and 3 boys) who are mostly grown and 3 big dogs. I am an art journaler, mixed-media novice, and a quilter of mostly art quilts. I love to read, travel, make postcards, go to new restaurants,and watch movies. I hate to clean house! I've been married for 6 1/2 years and met my husband at work. I work for a company that does physician recruiting and currently I specialize in the placement of psychiatrists and pediatricians.

AND I love to get REAL mail! :) I'm excited to get postcards from everywhere and I'm open to whatever type of postcard or mail you would like to send, but please send postcards naked without an envelop! I think stamps are some of the most amazing miniature art pieces around. My preference is for single view cards on traditional tourist cards; I love art cards; and I even find free ad postcards interesting. Be adventuresome and make me one! (See the book called "Good Mail Day" for inspiration.) I am interested in direct swaps only to exchange handmade postcards - thank you.

Some of my special interests include:

anything about 2 places I most want to visit: Paris and Tuscany
black and white photography
something about your country that excites you
architecture
sunset/sunrise
beach/ocean/shells
vintage
children
Mary Engelbreit, Teesha Moore, Anne Geddes
books/reading
Johnny Depp
Vintage Winnie the Pooh, esp Tigger (either from the Milne books or original Disney version)
maps
ferris wheels/carnival rides
giraffes, polar bears, and zebras
wild flowers
Halloween

Not sure what to write? Tell me about your favorite holiday, movie, book, recipe, favorite time of day or season. Tell me why you chose the card you did. Send me your favorite quote - I collect them - but in English please! :) Have a deep dark secret - share it with me, who am I going to tell!? :)
