This summer I was able to participate in a postcard swap. I sent the host, Kat Sloma, my postcards along with address labels and stamps for my returning postcards. She took my 5 cards and the other almost 200 participants cards and swapped them out so we each got back 5 cards as well as 1 from her. That's 6 postcards from around the world! It was very exciting to open my mailbox each week. Here are the cards I received...

The first card came from Julie Christine Phillipps. I wish I could say she gave more info but...that's all I have on her. I love my card Julie. Thank you!
My second card came from Valerie-Jael. After doing some super sleuthing on her blog it looks like she is originally from England but is now in Germany. She can be found at www.bastelmania-craftattack.blogspot.com I love my postcard Valerie. Thank you!
My third card came from Kate. Again I had to do some super sleuthing. Kate tells us she's from the Midwest...Indiana to be precise. She can be found at www.kmericks.com I love my postcard Kate. Thank you!

These are the postcards I sent in to be swapped.
1. Downtown San Diego at night.
2. A butterfly from the butterfly exhibit at the San Diego Safari Park. The butterfly exhibit is only on display for a few weeks each Spring.
3. The Carlsbad Flower Fields. The Flower Fields are also only open from March-May depending on the growing season of the flowers.
I used a texture by Kim Klassen as my backdrop for my photo's.
