PX sent on vacation

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

 

Niagara Falls sent to lucky14 in Poland

 



Can you tell I took pictures of these on the go? :-D

A while ago I got this postcard from Georgette! I'm just now getting around to responding, but I wanted to post this for now.

She put a quote on the back (I LOVE QUOTES)

"You will be the same person in five years as you are today except for the people you meet and the books you read." -Charlie Jones

Thanks Georgette :)

Swap-bot Getting To Know You

This swap only had 1 partner each, and you were to write a letter answering a series of questions, and include a gift for that person. I sent a handwritten letter to Jana, included some of my vintage paper for her paper-crafts, and sent it in a handmade envelope.

I was SO outdone!

Kristy sent me a typed letter, and included a TON of stuff! In addition to a tea bag, she sent me all this stuff:

Some book recommendations on the back:

A hanging quote:

Two postcards based on the work of Isabel Samaras:

look closely at her "fur" wrap

And postcards she designed on photoshop:

I especially love this last one.

I love anything gnome :)
