I got a postcard from France!
6 Mar
One of my good blog friends, Alexandra, wrote a recent blog post about picture postcards that she made herself! She made them from stamps and added her own quotes to them and they were absolutely gorgeous. She is so creative and crafty!
She asked in the entry if anyone would like a postcard. I commented and said that I would love a postcard if she wanted to send me one! Today, a postcard came in the mail from France! It was a handmade postcard, hand stamped and made especially for me and I love it!
The quote on the front around the stamps says, “The three essentials of happiness are something to do, someone to love, and something to hope for…”
The quote is special to her and she told me why in the message on the back. It was so lovely and it means so much that she sent me such a lovely post card! I love getting gifts from my blog friends in the mail because it makes you realize how special the friends you have made really are.
Moko also liked the post card but after a while she tried to lick and bite it. I think she started to get bored after she read it all. Silly cat. :P
Thanks Alexandra!
Great! I am so glad you like it, Caity! Thanks for talking about The card on your blog, I feel so special ;-)
Oh, that’s such a pretty postcard! At least Moko bothered to read it first. Maggie is a eat first, try to read later kind of beagle =p
Hi Caity,
That’s something I didn’t expect when I started out blogging, how great friendships would develop from that. And yet, that is what sustains me, and keeps me going.
I love the quote on happiness!
That postcard is beautiful! As is Moko :)
Wow, what a beautiful postcard… and kitty! :D
That is so fun, and such a pretty postcard!
That’s such a beautiful postcard! I’ve never seen a handmade one before.
Ahh, that really is a beautiful postcard! Your friend truly is talented, and what a lovely quote too. :)
Moko looks cute too! I just want to huggle her. XD
Ooh, how pretty! I just love homemade postcards. :D
That is beautiful, I love postcards!
This is one beautiful postcard (your friend is really talented) and I love the quote that she used for it. Your cat is too cute with the card!!
P.S. Sorry in my infrequent commenting to your blog. I love the new blog and I am ready to come back from my undeclared hiatus. Also, I know your very religious and if possible, I was wondering if you could send my brother a prayer. He had surgery and needs all the prayers he can receive. You’re amazing at everything you do and I’m very glad that I’ve come across your blog!!!
I love receiving mail too. Real mail, not e-mail. There is something romantic about it.
Oh, that is a gorgeous card! I wish I could receive mail from my online friends, but my parents won’t let me give out my address.
Alexandra’s postcard is beautiful! I love the fact that she took the time to include a meaningful quote (which, by the way, I do my best to live by). That’s definitely something worth treasuring. ♥
That’s so cool. I’d love to visit France sometime, just so I could have a reason to speak it for once.
That card’s beautiful~! People and their skillzzz amaze me. *__*
It’s such a pretty postcard! I love that!
Gorgeous card! I love receiving cards and mails. It always make me feel special. :)
Beautiful postcard! I love scrapbooking, but have yet to get into stamps. I really should – looks like I could be having a wonderful time!
That’s gorgeous! And the quote is very true.
Wow that’s really nice! And that postcard is lovely.
