Lots of Stamps FB RR - Abbotsford BC

Cheri managed to fit 13 stamps on the back of this card and still have room to write a short message! Bravo!

Swap - Les couleurs de la rue St-Louis

Picturesque Quebec City.  Thanks, Elaine!  I hope you had a great visit!

Swap - Born to Be Wild

Another great card from Kat.  I laughed at her message on the back.  The wildest she gets is knitting on a Saturday night.  I hear that! :)

Swap - Alkmaar/Holland

A very pretty card showing off the beautiful historical buildings of Alkmaar.  Look up there on the bridge.... VW Camper vans!! WIN!  Thanks Lotte!

Swap - PEI Potatoes

Finland - Beer!

Nice collection of beer bottles from Finland.  Olvi is a Finnish brewery and soft drink company that was founded in 1878!

Japan - Who Killed Bambi?

Love this card from Pon in Japan because I love the Sex Pistols!  Originally titled "Anarchy in the UK" this film never saw the light of day after the funding got pulled due to the content. Thank you for a great postcard, Pon!
