It's PFF again!

It's Friday and I have some more beautiful postcards I want to post for PFF. Some of the girls from the 'GTKY' thread sent me these from their travels this summer. Some really awesome places.

This one, I received from octabis. She traveled all over Scandinavia this summer and sent me this gorgeous card from Norway. It's the Geirangerfjord towards "The Pulpit" on the left and the waterfall "The Seven Sisters".

It's a fantastic view and such beautiful country. Would love to experience this breathtaking view some day myself.

Thank you Valerie for thinking of me! I love this card.

I just love this stamp. Really pretty.

Another card from Norway. This one is of Oslo, the capital city of Norway. Ula was lucky enough to spend some time there this summer and sent me this beautiful card. I love it!

Thank you so much Ula!

Absolutely love those stamps. They're gorgeous and especially love the colorful fish. Ula sent it from her home in Poland, after she got back from her trip, in case someone is wondering.

This fantastic map card is of Taiwan. Licia was invited there this summer by a friend and she sent me this great card. It's really awesome.

This card also had this great stamp on it. Very detailed.

Licia also took a trip to Shei-Pa (it's part of the 'Snow Mountain' in Taiwan.) Shei-Pa is over 2000 meters in height. There is where you can find this unique species of bears, the Formosan Black Bear. Formosa means Taiwan.

Thank so very much for the adorable bear card and thinking of me and my love for bears. Miss seeing you around on the thread.

The card also had this cute postmark. I just love it! It's really awesome. Thanks Licia.

Postcard Friendship Friday

I've been so busy and have had a lot going on these last 2 months and totally neglected my blog here, because of lack of time. Got lots of cards to post, but since today is Friday, I want to put some special cards here from my 'GTKY' friends. These are only a few, that I received from the girls. So, if you don't see your card, I will surely post it in the future for PFF.

Hong Kong

This first one is from Hong Kong from one of the girls from the 'GTKY' gang. She met up with one of the girls there and they had a wonderful time. I'd love to go there some day too and see all the neon lights and shop and explore the culture and most of all to meet one of the girls. That would be awesome.

Thanks Relie and Licia for the great card. It's gorgeous!

This are the stamps that was on the card. One already printed onto the card and a great bird one added.

Budva, Montenegro

This beautiful card came from my dear friend Ana. She came here to Budva in Montenegro on her vacation, that she was in desperate need of. I know it helped her a lot to just get away from it all for a while. I know that everybody needs that some time in their life and I'm very happy that she got this change to enjoy herself and relax and still thought of me to send me this wonderful card. Of course this is my first one from Montenegro and a great addition to my collection.

Thank you my dear friend. You're the best! I love it!

Also some really cool stamps on the card and a very legible postmark. Wonderful!

Haapsalu, Estonia

This great card is from Katy and Kriszti, when they had their mini-meeting in Haapsalu, Estonia. They had a really great time together and were very thoughtful and sent me this card from there. It meant a lot. Thank you so much girls.

Here is a great stamp too of the estonian flag. Very nice! Great postmark too!

Postcard Friendship Friday

I received this beautiful card from my friend Essi in Finland. When she saw this card, she thought about me, she said. I absolutely love this card and the colors are just awesome. Thank you for this gorgeous card. It's without a doubt one of my very favorite ones in my collection. Hugs to you Essi!




This was the stamp on the envelope. Also, a really great one.

PORTUGUESE POSTCROSSING MEETING

Today I received this great card from Martinha of Portugal. She went to the postcrosser's meeting last week-end in Coimbra and sent me this card from there. Wow, it's my first one from an actual postcrossing get-to-gether and with all the signatures of those who attended. I think that is really special and I thought it'd be the perfect one to post here today for PFF. Coimbra is a beautiful city and pictured here is the Portagen Square. I can just imagine Marta sitting in that very spot!
Thank you so much Marta. It was a wonderful surprise and made me very happy!




Aren't they sweet?

Since Marta also knows my love for bears, she included this mother and baby bear for me. This is Tuli, a 5 year old bear with his Mom, they live in the Lisbon Zoo. Aren't they just adorable! I love them! Thanks Marta for thinking of me, when you saw the card and sending it.:)

Another Bear from a good friend

It's Friday and I'm actually having time to post a few cards that my dear friends have sent me.

This great bear card is from my dear friend Katy. Isn't he just so cuddly and adorable? She knows how much I love them and sent it to me. Thank you my dear. Hugs!

Here is the stamp that was on the card. It's postmarked in Haapsalu, Estonia. I'm starting to think that the stamps add something extra to it.

Macedonia

My very first cards from Macedonia, and not just one, but 3 of them from my dear friend Ana and a perfect choice for Postcard Friendship Friday. Thank you so very much my dear friend for sending them. They are just beautiful and I love them. You're the best! Hugs to you!

This card is called the Magic Lights of Macedonia. I love the colors, it's just gorgeous. It shows the old city of Skopje, actually the Old Bazaar, which dates back from the Ottoman Empire. This is where the Muslim community lives, but if you look close you can see the Christian cross on the far left.

Ana's hometown of Skopje showing the stone bridge over Vardar and city square. In the background the mountain Vodno with the cross on top, which was built in order to celebrate 2000 years of Christianity. Beautiful city!

This is Ohrid and a UNESCO site and one of the most popular places to go in the summer. The monastery of St. Naum is situated very near to the border of Albania.

These are the stamps that were on the envelope. My first time showing stamps and really they are too beautiful to ignore.

Postcard Friendship Friday

Since I'm actually posting today, on a Friday and it being Friendship Day, I think it's very appropriate to show some of the beautiful cards I have received from some of my friends from the 'GTKY' thread. They are a bunch of great girls and they've become very special friends to me.

These wonderful cards are from Lyan. She sent them in her first letter to me. The top one is of the 'Prophet's Holy Mosque' in Medinah. I absolutely love this card and it's very special to me for a lot of reasons. Thank you soooooo much Lyan.

The other card shows a beautiful dawn on the East Coast of Malaysia. Beautiful colors and I love palms and really miss seeing them now. Thanks Lyan for these wonderful cards.

This one is from Laura. She sent it to me in her first letter to me. She went to London in February and had a great time. I love the colors on this card. It's just beautiful. Thanks very much Laura!

These are from Valerie. One from her trip to Strasbourg. It's an UNESCO site and the other one is of the famous Fountain of Trevi in Rome, also from one of her recent trips. Thanks so very much Val for the wonderful cards and thinking of me!

This one is from Essi in Finland of her hometown Lappeenranta. Thanks Essi for the great card!
