***This first card was sent to me from Vix in the Philippines from a Postcrossing meetup they had. I love cards from the Philippines because my mom is from there and I am 1/4, so I appreciate and love all things Filipino!!! One day I hope to visit, it would be great to catch a meetup!!!
***This card came from my 2nd Postcrossing Meetup (& from my friend Brenda!) in Orlando, FL that was held at the 2012 Orlando International Paper and Postcard Expo. This is where I learned about vintage and old school cards, a real treat for any postcard enthusiaist!!! Since finding cards about the Ringling Bros and Barnum & Bailey Circus World, I've also learned about the museum located in Sarasota, FL. What wonderful info for it to be so near, I hope to make a visit soon. This card contained a Forever Buzz Lightyear (from the Pixar movies---Toy Story) stamp!!!
***Who doesn't like Harry Potter? Well, this card is actually from my first PC meetup (signed at my 3rd PC meetup), but I just recently heard about how my friends send cards to themselves and since I do prefer written and stamped....not blank....this is the first of many cards I will be sending to myself, LOL!!! I sent myself the Purple Heart 37cent stamp that recently my mom found them (she forgot that she had them) and because though my dad has since passed away, he received two purple hearts for his service in the Korean War as a Marine. Being able to have a free day at Universal thanks to the_beatles_4_ever on Postcrossing, I was able not only to purchase a lot of postcards, but get this card stamped with the Hogsmeade Owl Post stamp that you can only get at the park!!! It's a wonderful world of postcards and stamps!!!
***I'm also sharing some sheets of stamps.....Our version and celebration of the Chinese New Year of the Dragon here in the states. I just think they are cool and wanted to post them! Secondly, my Postcrossing stamps were sent to me from a penpal I made via Postcrossing (Mirjam in the Netherlands). She sends me the best things and I've learned a lot about different European and Dutch cultural happenings. So, when I say that postcards connect the world, I mean it, and some create deeper connections than others.
***They came in a niffy little folded card and are behind a plastic cover!!! I do not really collect stamps, though I love them. But, since Postcrossing is where it started and they created a Postcrossing stamp, I will keep these unused and adore them!!!
***Food for Thought: Do you like Harry Potter? I sure do. Have you ever been to a Postcrossing meetup? My mom went and really enjoyed herself and she's not even a Postcrossing member!!! Are their certain stamps that tug at your heartstrings because they help to you to remember, enjoy, or even think about things that are important in your life? I think there is only one answer to that question......YES!!! Thanks for reading...peace and blessings;0)
