Russian Matreshka Dolls

I think this card with the Matreshka Dolls is so beautiful.  I love them!

It shows the museum in Moscow where you can see these beautiful Russian traditional nesting dolls. 

The dolls shown here are part of the exhibition and were made in 2003.  

I'd love to visit there!

Thank you so much to Kate for sending me this card from my favorites for the January RR.  

I love the Russian stamps.  They're so beutifully detailed and colorful.

Moomins

This is a new Moomin card for my collection.  I always love receiving them.  They're so cuuute!!!

This one was sent to me by nediam-nori for the January RR.  

I love it!  Many thanks to Suvi for this adorable card.

It also had this great Moomin stamp.  So cute!

Australia

This is a very beautiful view of the Eastern Beach in Geelong, Victoria from Sara in Australia for the January RR. She writes that it's very hot there, about 44 C. We could use a little bit of this heat here, since it's been so cold and we had some more snow last Tuesday evening, but luckily the ground was a bit too warm, so it didn't stick to the roads and later it actually turned to rain. I've had enough of the snow this year, which is quite unusual for this area.

It would really be so nice to just walk along this beach and enjoy the sand, palms and warm sun! This is a great place to visit during the summer, since it has a protected swimming area.

It looks just gorgeous and I want to thank Sarah for sending this beautiful card and bringing me some sunshine!:)

Really a very cool stamp too showing Russell Falls in Tasmania.

Barcelona, Spain

I received this awesome card of Barcelona for the January RR. I love this card a lot, since it has a map of the city and pictures too. It's like 2 cards in one. Really a beautiful card!

Thank you so much Jordi for always sending such awesome cards!

I'd love to visit Spain some day, especially Barcelona. It looks so beautiful there!

New York City, NY

Here is a card a little closer to home. It's from the January RR.

This great view is of Central Park in New York City in the fall. Central Park covers 843 acres and it's located in the center of Manhattan. It has 25 million visitors annually.

I love NYC and hope to go back again some day soon!

Thank you so much Katie for sending this awesome card.
