Wife, Mom, Friend, Volunteer. I love to cook and be creative with my daughter at her level...third grade...ensuring the creative side of her brain gets used to it's potential ;)
Aren't postcards the neatest things ever, a little story on each one.
I love that postcards can represent everything from culture, locations, food, animals, holidays, landmarks, objects, just about any subject that you can think of and each one is special in it's own way.
Such an inexpensive way to armchair travel, my daughter (3rd) grade and I have a large world map up so we can see where each state/country is located when a new postcard arrives.
Each day brings a bit of excitement, will there be a new postcard in the mail? They bring such a smile...simple, sweet, innocent smile to my daughter's face. She brings in the mail, we have an after school snack and if there are postcards we generally talk about them before starting homework.
We enjoy all types of postcards.
We love learning about different locations, monuments, animals, cultures, languages, holidays, and of course any different stamps you might choose to use.
Whatever you choose to send will be very appreciated!

Please, Please, Please be sure and put your user ID somewhere on the item you are sending. On occasion, I have time to sort through all my swaps and try to figure who you are so I can rate you, but there are times when I don't.
I want to rate everyone but I seem to be getting a rash of swap items, mostly from very new people who aren't identifying themselves and therefore taking a chance at not getting rated.

Hi Angee, Just wanted to lend my support with your '1' rating. I've just checked my Do Not Swap with list and I dropped this particular swapper @Prettypixie from all of my swaps a few weeks ago because she was doing dodgy stuff like trying to host big $$ swaps and not having any profile at all. I hope she comes to her senses and removes it.
