Mail Makes Me Sing!

Sending & Receiving Mail,
such a lovely way to start
and end the day!

I am passionate about Victoria Kirdy Postcards and recently had an opportunity to do a trade with a lovely lady in Russia. Here are the first of several that I'll be posting the next few days!  If you were driving down my street you would have witnessed me hopping, skipping, jumping and singing Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah on the way back from the mailbox when they arrived!




Victoria Kirdy Postcard
She kindly translated the quote on the back for me.

"There are three things that cannon be forgiven to a woman.  But nobody know why and what these things are.  ~Janina Ipohorska
Bottom Quote-
You need the power of a devil to be as patient as an angel.

Top Quote-To be on a balanced diet is to hold two similar pieces of cake in both hands.
Bottom Quote-It's not overweight, it's the additional place to kiss.

~Outgoing Mail~
I always read profiles and do my very best to pick postcards that I think the recipient will love, it's really the best part of sending and receiving postcards to me!  If you see a postcard that you'd love to have, email me and I just might have an extra to send your way!

Seasonal Saturday

Hello Darlings,
You know it's true~
Seasonal Saturday
helps me keep the
holiday Spirit alive
all year through.

I know, I know...Christmas is over-you've finally got all your Christmas packed up and out of the house.  The cards are put away or (gasp) thrown away and you don't want to see or hear any mention of Christmas or the holidays again. 

I get it, I really do but I love, love, love Christmas and (really all holidays) if you happen to stop by here on a Saturday it's likely you'll be getting a big dose of Christmas Cheer all through the year.  Look at it this way, at least I've contained it to Saturday's! :) 

Hugs to all of you, hope you have a fantastic day!


Adorable little couple in love!
