About Katie...
ATTENTION! I received a beautiful painting showing Minsk, Belarus. It had a lovely quote about dreaming, but it has no postcard ID!!! If you sent me this great card, please write to me and tell me the ID so I can register it! Thank you!! :D
Hello new friend! :)
My name is Katie, I'm 26 and currently live in Pittsburgh, a very nice city in Western Pennsylvania. I enjoy traveling and have family living all over the US, so you may receive a postcard from one of those places as well. ;)
For those who do not like to look through a long list of preferences, I will be very happy if you just send your favorite postcard (especially if you tell me why!) If you don't know what to write on the back, tell me a secret! (I won't tell!) :)
If you'd like to avoid sending a duplicate (I've had a lot lately, unfortunately), you can see what cards I've received, organized by country, here:

For those of you who DO like a preference list, please read on. :D I like:
-- Houses, windows, doors, and narrow streets
-- Women - art, drawings, photos, famous, not famous, humorous, nude, anything, like them all!
-- Anything related to beverages (tea, coffee, beer, liquor), food or recipes, bicycles, or books
-- UNESCO sites are great!
-- Structures (Castles! Bridges! Religious buildings!)
-- Gorgeous landscapes (mountains, valleys, lakes, rivers, underwater, fields, fjords, glaciers)
-- Native animals, especially birds (adult cats are okay too!)
-- Traditional clothing
-- Local artists and illustrators
-- Map cards
My ideal card is some sort of beautiful, single view card, and I love cards with white borders.
I have some cards on my postcard wall that are favorites, and also a bunch here at Flickr: http://www.flickr.com/photos/krhocevar/favorites/ I don't have any of these.
In general, I also love Nouvelles Images and Harenberg-Kalendar postcards.
But sometimes the best card is one that's a surprise, that maybe doesn't fit my list... chances are, if you like it, I will too! Thanks for helping me learn more about the world... I love Postcrossing! :D
