Thank you to the Australian Post for making such wonderful maxicards and  to the people who know I love them and send them my way!  Oh Happy Day!

I love this card plus it's the first maxicard I've ever received from Belarus.  Wondering exactly what a maxicard is?  Postcrossing has it all spelled out with examples!  I love Postcrossing!


Aren't these stamps beautiful!  Preservation of the Poles and Glaciers Postage Stamps from Belarus.
