Hello,

I am a 58-year-young married woman, who enjoys creating art using multi-media. I love rock music, gardening, reading, watching movies & TV shows, and stamp collecting. I also have a new hobby: letterboxing (see www.atlasquest.com).

The latest musical artists I've been enjoying are The Blue Van, Arcade Fire, Muse, and Apocalyptica*. David Bowie is THE all-time musician love of my life!

I enjoy good fiction books - and movies like Avatar, LOTR (Lord of the Rings), Blade Runner, Lathe of Heaven (the one with Bruce Davidson), Harry Potter, etc., and I have to include Star Wars just because it's classic.

I would love to receive postcards from anyone, anywhere! I can read some French and a little German (very rusty). I especially like postcards of artwork (funny or serious) or with an interesting or challenging picture. I enjoy whimsical or fantasy-type postcards. If you are artistic, I'd love a handmade card. I love close-ups of eyes (people or animals). Cards in envelopes are great, but not if they cost a lot extra!

I appreciate cool stamps, too. (Postcrossers in Finland have some 3-D and glittery knock-your-socks-off stamps!) But I love all sorts of surprises; and truly, receiving a postcrossing card from you is "priceless"! Thank you to all my Postcrossing friends who send such wonderful cards & stamps!

Please tell me a little bit about yourself or about the postcard you're sending. Can't wait to hear from you!

If you want to bring some sunshine to your day, check out the “Sent” postcards of Postcrossing member “nextlola” from Naples, Italy. Her real name is Claudia, and she is an artist who has sent Postcrossers some wonderful postcards of her original art. She is a warm and fascinating person. After much prodding from other Postcrossers and friends, she finally printed some new artwork on postcards. Go to http://www.flickr.com/photos/nextlola/ to see her latest creations and to her website at www.nextlola.com (where she’ll introduce you to her little “zoo,” and if you want, you can even purchase her postcards which are available for the first time).

*Thank you very much to BannyBrazil and Willi of Germany who both sent me wonderful information and translations on the song lyrics for the group Apocalyptica's awesome German version of David Bowie's song "Heroes" called "Helden." Thanks to Jana for telling me about Mia's version of "Helden" too.

Remember: "We can be heroes, just for one day!"
