PostCrossing Update #2 (07.30.13.)

Hey lovelies!

So it's the end of another month which means it's time for another PostCrossing update! Not sure what I mean by PostCrossing? Check out this blog post I wrote last month!

This month was a very busy month for my mailbox, with 11 postcards arriving from around the world! So much excitement and smiles. I'm so weird when I pull them out of the mailbox. I try my best not to look at them until I get inside and sit down. Then, I always read the back first before finally looking at the exciting pictures on the front. Is that strange... I sort of think so. But that's how my brain works. You should see me on Christmas morning! Oh man, I drive J crazy with all my rituals and how long it takes me to open things. My stocking alone takes me 1hr to open! Oie vye.

Now let's get into the real reason we're all here! Let's look a the beautiful postcards people sent me this month:

GERMANY 

USA 

BELGIUM

RUSSIA 

THE NETHERLANDS 

RUSSIA

LITHUANIA 

UKRAINE

USA

SINGAPORE 

GERMANY

I've started decorating my mantle with all the cards I have been receiving over the past 2 months (my collection is already large!), and I really love how it is turning out. I'll post a picture of what I've done for next month's update post.

Have any of you joined PostCrossing? Do you have a favourite postcard from this month? Leave me your comments, I'm always so excited to read what you all have to say. 

Keep being you,

Erin

PostCrossing Update #1 (07.12.13.)

Hey everyone,

Today I wanted to share with you the beautiful postcards I have received this past month. For those of you who missed my PostCrossing post (one too many posts in that sentence), check it out and it'll fill you in. In short I am a member of a postcard exchange program that allows me to connect with people from all over the world. The best part is that I never know where my postcards will be coming from, so checking the mailbox is incredibly thrilling. Picture me running down the hall screaming, "J! This one is from China! Look! Look!"..."Very nice dear." I wanted to share both the front AND the back with you as I think a large part of the fun is seeing what other people have to say and seeing all the cool stamps.

Look guys! Look!:

(CANADA...This one actually came about via Instagram! She contacted me and asked me if I would be interested in swapping.)

(USA...this is the other one that came about via Instagram. She asked me if I would be interested in doing a swap and I am so glad I did! I adore this vintage style card!)

(UKRAINE)

(FINLAND)

(GERMANY)

(NETHERLANDS)

(BELGIUM)

(Funny thing is... J and I ARE planning on visiting there next year! I'll make sure to try the chocolate!)

(FINLAND)

(ENGLAND...This lady didn't write me anything...tisk tisk)

(CZECH REPUBLIC)

(GERMANY)

(ITALY)

(GERMANY)

And that is everything I have received over the past month. I strongly urge you all to check out PostCrossing.com and sign up! It's the most amazing thing to be able to connect with people from all over the world. To have the opportunity to learn about different places and the people that make it special. Also great for getting ideas for when you travel! Best part is there are no fees to be part of the program! The only cost to you is the postcard and the stamp!

Now if you'll excuse me I think I hear the mail lady at the door... no seriously I swear I just heard my mailbox lid squeak shut! Like Christmas I tell you!

Love and hugs,

Erin xx

Daily Tidbits:

• Went for "coffee" (I had strawberry lemonade... YUM!) this morning with a dear old friend from uni. I had a beautiful time snuggled up in the cozy armchairs exchanging stories. PLEASE check out her amazing blog, this girl is so inspiring: http://georgiatryingsomethingnew.blogspot.ca/
• All I want to do is lay out in the sun and drink it all in... but alas, work calls!
