Swap-bot! I'm back!

I LOVE swap-bot. The post on this blog with the most views are from my swap-bot swaps. My first swap back was three random things in an envelope. I forgot to take a picture of mine, but I sent some embellishments, ribbon, and a page out of a really old book (she likes to make ATCs). Here's what I got from pobuffy in Maryland:

 I figured this would happen :)

Thanks pobuffy!!!

"Big Drift Adventures In the early 1920s, before the construction of Trail Ridge Road, Fall River Pass via Fall River Road was the only way for vehicles to travel to the west side of Rocky Mountain National Park. The Big Drift at Fall River Pass was a massive obstacle that required hand-shoveling each summer and after the occasional early autumn snowstorm."

Rocky Mountain Naitonal Park is celebrating 100 years!

I love this postcard from Olga in Belarus. It's a USSR postcard from 1981 showing a traditional embroidery pattern.

Here's what happened:
Saturday:
10AM - 4PM: LA Times' Festival of Books

5-7PM: Verizon Store. Seriously, 2 hours.
7-10PM: Last minute packing for trip
10PM drive 1 hour to LAX for red-eye to OMA

SUNDAY:
12:30AM: wake up at gate, everyone is gone. Panic.
12:35AM: realize that flight was delayed and moved to another gate. Phew.
7AM(central time now):Land in Houston, have 5 minutes to sprint to adjacent terminal before door closes to board.
9AM: Land in Omaha, pick up family from church. Breakfast. Shopping. Prepare for Mary Kay party at my sister's house. Have a blast, drive Momma home, drive to sister's, pass out.

MONDAY:
6AM: wake up, pack the car, drive to pick up Dad.
7AM: COMMENCE ROAD TRIP. From Monday to Thursday, we drove to Niagara Falls, then New York City, then home. We slept on Tuesday. On the way, we stopped at Notre Dame, the most beautiful campus I've ever seen in my life, and at Orange County Choppers. What an adventure that was!

So, along the way, I picked up postcards. Here's what I sent:

Indiana postcard to Victorian in Ohio

 

Niagara Falls to Angelina in Belarus

 

Niagara Falls to squirrelinmockow in Lebanon (new!)

 

Niagara Falls to Saintex in France
