We also got some stickers and a fun reflector to wear on your coat.

Postcards, postcards, so many postcards!

So, we sent a ton of postcards and then, just as they started rolling in, some super exciting life things happened, so they got put in a pile until I had time to sit down and register them. I remember saying this wasn't going to be a postcard blog, but it's leaning that way...stay tuned for an onslaught of postcard posts!

Year of the Horse, Reindeer?, State Hermitage Museum, MoonSelena and a dreaming mouse

Today the mailbox was full…and full of a wide range of postcards plus a bunch of bills…but there were postcards, so it was a good mail day! Mail has been so slow lately…I just looked and it’s been an average of 16 days of travel time for postcards since Christmas…the quickest card arrived in 6 days from New Zealand and the slowest in 66 days from Russia…not sure what’s going on with mail…we sent two parcels, both Air Mail, to Europe. The one to England arrived in less than a week, the one to Germany too an additional 3.5 weeks…and this was AFTER Christmas! And Canada Post wonders why people don’t want to use their services!
