Received Direct Swap Handmade Postcard from gloria04, Hong Kong


Gloria's Handmade Card


































The stamp on the postcard.




When I first saw this postcard, I thought it was printed. Then I realized it is a handmade card. The only thing I have to say is that Gloria's handicraft skill is impressive. Here is her rubber stamp collection http://www.flickr.com/photos/gloriaaaaac/.



Received Thank-You-Card from jeffchuah, Malaysia

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
Enclosed Stamps
Stamps on the Envelope

On May 8 I received a thank-you-card from jeffchuah, a Malaysian Postcrosser, to whom I sent the postcard TW-527899. There were several stamps enclosed in the envelope. The Harry Potter postcard is amazing! I'd forgotten how Rupert Alexander Grint looked then.
Speak of Harry Potter, I saw a piece of news about Pottermore last year, I was sort of tempted to sign up, but then I thought it was better not to, in case I spend more time online and end up taking the next Physics makeup test.

Received Postcard JP-262113 from berrylover

Maiko Girls in the Garden of Kyoto
Enclosed Stamps
Stamps on the Envelope
Earlier this month I received a postcard from Japan, sent by berrylover. There were several beautiful used stamps enclosed in the envelope, so I was very excited when I saw them. Later I went to check berrylover's blog, and I was astonished. I have considered keeping a blog about Postcrossing, but I'd never really done it since I'm not sure if I can find time to manage it. Berrylover's blog, however, motivated me.
So, that's how I started this blog so rashly.
Anyway, I Googled "Maiko Girls", and here's a "brief"(well, maybe not so brief) introduction to Geisha.
