Postcards from Swap-Bot Swaps

Just like how I discovered World in Postcards, I joined Swap-Bot through Mike’s blog. And to be honest, I never regretted joining! I was able to join a simple swap the day I got it and guess what?! I received my Alaska Map Card from that swap!! Another edition to my 50 US Map Card Collection. Fabulous right?!

Aside from that, I got this gorgeous postcards from the same swap. Smile

World in Postcards Yahoo Group

A fellow postcrosser, Mike, contacted me for a private swap. I agreed and then visited his blog at “A Journey of Postcards.” There, I saw the link invitation to join World in Postcards at Yahoo Groups. So, earlier this month, I signed in and was so lucky to be able to join their current swap with the theme – PEOPLE.

I am fairly new when using use of Yahoo Groups. So until now, I am still trying to get the hang of it. So for my fellow members at World in Postcards, please be patient with me. I am still adjusting on how the thing works. Smile

Anyway, here are some postcards that I got from swapping with Worlds in Postcards:

Old Post Office, Washington, D.C. – Rose (August General Swap)

Route 80, Nebraska – Rose (August General Swap)

Ellis Island – Ruth (People Swap)

As for my August General Swap partners, I will send mine soon. Probably next week, still waiting for my budget. LOL!!!

Before anything else, I would like to thank Sabine for welcoming me to World in Postcards! She is so patient in teaching me how the thing works. God bless you Sabine!

Thanks also to Mike for contacting me. If it weren’t for you, I won’t be meeting this kind hearted people who love postcards just like us!

So readers, if you want to join World in Postcards, just click on the badge I made on the sidebar. I am sure Sabine, Mike, Ruth, Rose and the others will be glad to welcome you all!!

Two Postcards on Boracay Island

Just this week, I received 40 postcards in one day and believe me, I was so very happy! Imagine, I got no postcards for two weeks and then in one day, I received more than I can handle. Yeppie!! Smile

Anyway, two out of 40 postcards I got where identical. They were sent, of course, by two different people from different places here in the Philippines. But though they are identical, they are not exactly the same. Could you spot the difference?! LOL!

Boracay Island (Boracay, Aklan) is consistently featured as one of the World’s Best Beach for nearly 20 years now. It’s powder-like white sand beach stretch 40 kilometers and about 100 meters wide.

These two beautiful Boracay postcards where sent by the lovely ladies, Fe of Creations & Collections and Jenny of A Mom’s Postcard Collection. Fe sent me this postcard as her birthday gift. Yay! And Jenny sent me this as part of our private swaps at Postcrossing Enthusiasts group at Facebook. Thank you ladies! Muah!  Kiss
