Knut, Berlin, Germany

I've been wanting a card of this little adorable guy for such a long time and thanks to Michaela I have one now. Yeaaaah !!!! I used to see him on TV and heard so much about him and I think he's sooooo sweet and adorable. Can't help but love him!!!

He was born at the Berlin Zoo on December 5th, 2006 and since he was rejected by his mother at birth, the zookeepers raised him. He's so well known and I remember, that they had a song about him too.

According to Wikipedia, he became a huge tourist attraction and increased zoo attendance by 30%. "Knutmania" was born.

Vielen lieben Dank to Michaela for sending me this adorable card for the April RR.

And such a cute 'Knut' stamp too. I love it!

Vormsi, Estonia

This beautiful lighthouse is in Vormsi, Estonia. I love this view and the beach. It looks so inviting to take a nice stroll along the water's edge enjoying the fresh air and nature.

Here is a little bit of information from the back of the card. The lighthouse is located on Vormsi Island. The height from the bottom is 24 m and the light altitude is 27 m.

The cast iron tower (1871), prefabricated in Lithuania, replaced a tower manufactured in England in 1864.

I received this beautiful card for the April RR. Thank you Janek for this lovely card!

Love the lighthouse stamps and they also show the location on the map. Beautiful and informative at the same time!

More Moomins

Yeah, some more Moomin cards. I love them and am always happy to find them in my mail box. They're just sooo cute and bring a smile to my face. My collections is slowly growing:)

This one came from Finland for the June RR. Many thanks to Ari for sending it my way. I love it!

A really nice stamp, that wasn't postmarked. I think Finland has some beautiful stamps.

This one came all the way from Malaysia from Anis, who loves Moomins too and sent me one for the April RR. Thank you so much!

Here you clearly can see the postmark, but it did cover the stamp a bit.

Bear from British Columbia, Canada

It's been a while since I've posted here. Always too much going on with work and everyday life and just being totally exhausted from it all, plus not feeling my best here lately. Finally a week-end off, yeah!!!!

I wanted to show this totally cool card which I received for the April Round Robin. It's my first wooden card and a bear on it too, so it's totally perfect for me, since I love bears and this one is a cutie, even though he has a very serious look about him. I was very lucky that the card didn't get damaged going through the mail. It's made from Eastern Red Cedar and was sent to me from Canada. Thank you soooooo much to Tam for sending me this totally awesome card. I loooooove it!!!!! It's one of my very special cards in my collection!

A little bit of info about the Black Bear. It's one of the most common bear species native to North America and it can run as fast as 50 km per hour. The black bears are considered highly efficient hibernators and can live up to 33 years old.

Cervia Milano Marittima, Italy

This is a really awesome card I received for the April Round Robin. I love the fan shape, the colors, the glitter, the dolphins and the beautiful pictures. It's such a greeeeat card. Even though I didn't do too good of a job scanning it, I think one can get the idea. Thank you so very much to Grace for sending it! I love this card!

The stamp wasn't postmarked as you can see!

Moomin Cards

In the last month I received 2 more Moomin cards for my collection. I just love them!:) They mean so much to me and are too cuuuute!!!! Many thanks to Anne and Ari of Finland.

This one came from AJ-Person for the April RR. What's very special about this one is: it's the original picture from Tove Jansson's book "Moominland Midwinter". Sooo awesome!

I love it! Thank you so much Anne for sending it!:)

Cute Easter stamp too!;)

This one came from AKS for the March RR. It says: "To my Buddy" . Kaveri is an informal word for friend. I think it's a great one and I love it and thank you so much to Ari for sending it.;)
