Loving the Postcard life. Thank you in advance for sharing a postcard our way. *Gratitude is genuine when any postcard arrives.*-most importantly! For the personal collection that we are growing from the legacy of our parents, we scavenger hunt for vintage scenes of Los Angeles, all southern California, all Idaho & the pacific northwest. Believe it or not, we also do Central Florida around i-4 corridor and throughout Hwy 27, 17, 98, 92. Fun stuff like Vintage motels or entertainment centers. We also are enjoying building up a new hobby as a family to collect places we've visited or ..read more

    Looks as though, my Postcrossing fizzled some in January.  It was a super busy month.  I know I sent out cards ? but I have no idea ? Well let's look?      Let's check the wall at Postcrossing on my members page and see what it comes up like. This was a good lesson for me, because times slips by before I realize.?      Postcards were sent out up through December. I had none sent in January.  I guess I need to step up my participation in the community.  Postcrossing does have a lovely forum for the community. It ..read more

  Loving how the postcard community is growing on Good Reads. Combining the Postcards with a reading topic is such a wonderful blend of pastimes.  I keep getting the same person from the other side of the world ?. His postcards have not arrived yet, for 2 months in a row.  Will have to wait & see if the Global Post is going to follow through with delivery of his cards.  In the meantime, this month's topic was the Public Domain titles that were recently released.  What new old books are you finding to pick up again? Love LaLa ?  ..read more

    Somewhere along the line ? A certain Postcard lover mixed up their inbound & outbound piles. Shame on me!  These are really beautiful cards.  Forgive if I actually have posted these before, But I looked through without finding them posted anywhere.  Hope my fellow RAoC will ? forgive.  Here are these from August. Who knows what was going on back then.  ?  Love  LaLa ?  #AdLink ..read more

#AdLink     Seems like all my postcards are from PostFun for January. I will admit, Many of the same cards go out for my PostFun exchanges. I have such a surplus of the Empress Lily still. I do not make a habit of sending the same card to the same people.     I do vary my Pen Pal Cards. But for one time exchanges, the WDW classic is my go-to card. That one & my personal print on demand designs. I like them, they are uplifting to me, so I hope they spread a little sunshine along the way.  My DHubby mails them for me, so I think they all ship out f ..read more

     As Friday came, I was at work remembering that I had not yet posted. All my scheduled batches of postcard exchanges had finally aired. I was ? thinking, what am I going to post this week. It had seemed rather slow at the PO Box for the last two weeks. But I did receive a couple cards. Then as I started to pull up the cards that were scanned so far,     I was pleasantly surprised. Since, I also scan my outbound cards, I still had quite a few.  So enough of the small talk and onto these beautiful connections with people from these amazing cards.   ..read more

Good Reads has a readers forum within it's book club.  Forums can lead to some interesting connections in life. I searched out postcards there immediately, and probably already told that story several times…. lol ?  One reason I blog is to help protect my memory, also, to leave a legacy for my children or grandchildren, so they might know the inner workings of their MaDré LaLa.   Since we are approaching a new year, it seems natural to take a look back at some of the places we've visited through our postcards.  Here are the ones fellow book lovers & PC e ..read more

This will post a week or two after the wedding, but the card was beautiful & I had to share. If I get some decent photos before this posts, they will be included.   Love LaLa ?? Wedding Gift Ideas ?  #AdLink ..read more

Interesting ?  My outbound cards fell off in November while working extra hours on the day job. It seemed logical to me that the  ? mailboxes? would also slow down. That has not been the case. Having a profile on Postcrossing and PostFun has kept me in the postcard exchanges at the end of the year.  It's been very exhilarating.  Then I also received a lovely card for the holidays from my most favorite Dearheart, who is on the West Coast far away.  She always remembers and sends holiday greetings. I don't know what I would do without her.  There was also one more ..read more
