Thanks to Shirley for the Grand Canyon card, and to Jeanne for the 'artsy' card.

And a BIG THANK YOU to Jeanne for hosting this month's swap.

Tell me if you all can see this - it's the whole set of the postcard thumbnails. 

 

May be an illustration of ticket stub an' Ye' yabberin'

Jeanne, my sister gave me these for Christmas, I always ask for postcards and stamps, LOL. I'm not sure where she got them from, but I'll ask her. Aren't they cute? She knows I collect dolls and so these were right up my alley.

I'd love to know where she got them, Yvette~~ brings back a ton of memories with cutting out and dressing lots of little people in the 60's! I've not seen them in 20 years~

I got 3 postcards yesterday.  Thank you to

Patrice for the funny Books That Have Helped Me card. I hope you have a great visit with your grand-girls. 
 

Cyn for the scenic Tennessee card. I love the colors. We have plans for a minor league baseball game this summer too. 
 

Yvette for the Jack at Play paper doll card. When I was a kid I got frustrated that the clothes fell off so I taped magnets to them and the dolls.

Soooo informed delivery didn't let me know I had 3 postcards in the mail. I don't check the mail much anymore cuz we don't get much. Anyways many thanks to:

Shirley for the pretty North Shore Lake Superior card! Glad to hear you enjoyed the visit:)

Yvette for the cute Little Jack Horner card! I remember cutting out paper dolls from the Sears catalog.

Patrice for the Florida State Capitol card! We're in middle TN and didn't get flooding where we live.

I'm late to posting, but I did pick-up my mail over the weekend.

Thank you....

Al for the fun Long Beach, CA postcard. I love the vintage bathing suits and big floppy hats. 

Yvette for the cool paperdoll card. I use to have Donny and Marie Osmond paper dolls when I was a kid. This brought back good memories. 

Cindy for Tennesse mill postcard.  I've been to a few South Bend Cubs baseball games this summer.  They've really stepped up the food choices at the games, but I still get my traditional popcorn and Cracker Jacks.

I also received a beautiful Monet painting postcard blank with no message.  It's just my name and address.  The postmark is not readable, so no help there. Whoever sent it, thank you!  I'm a big fan of Monet.  

It could be a postcrossing postcard also.  I've tried to figure it out, but either way, I enjoyed receiving the card. Thank you.

Thanks to Patrice for the funny card. I needed the laugh today. :-)  I actually have a stack of books holding up a part of my couch. The leg broke off in one of my moves over the years and I found a fix.
