Sabine from Baden-Wuerttemberg sent me this beautiful postcard through Postcrossing. She lives close to Lake Constance and it doesn't take too long for her to get to Switzerland and Austria either!

#26 Taiwan

Yen-Chiu from Taiwan sent me this colorful postcard from Taiwan via Postcrossing. The card shows the decorations on the roof of his local temple. Doesn't it look great?! And check out the beautiful stamps on his postcard! My favorite is the one with the pink flowers... :)

A few days ago I got to cross another country off my list as Irina from Belarus sent me this postcard via Postcrossing. It shows a lovely view of Minsk and she even put a cute stamp on it!

#23 France: Nevers

Nenette from France sent me this postcard showing her hometown of Nevers via Postcrossing. She also chose a great stamp for it - isn't the dog cute?!

#22 USA: Tonto National Forest, Arizona

Thanks to Postcrosser Linda from Yuma, Arizona, I get to cross another US state off my list! This beautiful card shows Tonto National Forest during a summer storm. Don't you just love the colors?!
Linda also did great choosing stamps, I especially love the one with the green car about going green by sharing rides!

#21 Germany: Bremen - and an additional goal for my postcard project

After receiving my third postcard from Germany the other day, I've decided to add another goal to my postcard project. Previously, my goals were to a) collect a postcard from every country in the world and b) also collect postcards from all of the 50 states of the US. I've now added a third goal: to collect postcards from all of the 16 states (or Bundesländer as they are called in German) that make up Germany.

Cornelia from Bremen sent me this postcard through Postcrossing. Bremen is one of three cities in Germany that is both a city and a state. I recently visited Bremen as it is not too far from Hamburg and really enjoyed my stay there. It's definitely worth a visit! Cornelia also put a cute stamp on the card, enjoy!

#20 Netherlands: 's Hertogenbosch

Karin from the Netherlands sent me this pretty postcard via Postcrossing. It shows a very pretty castle in her hometown of 's Hertogenbosch. I also like the stamps she put on the card, especially the one of Queen Beatrix. Thanks Karin!

#19 Germany: Höri and Untersee, Baden-Wuertemmberg

I received my second postcard from Germany a few days ago. Postcrossing member Andrea lives close to Lake Constance and sent me this beautiful card showing some views from the charming towns in the area.

#18 USA: Hollywood, California

I found my third postcard from the US in my mailbox the other day! Emily from LA sent me this card, showing Hollywood Boulevard at night, via Postcrossing.

#17 Germany: Wuppertal, North Rhine-Westphalia

I recently received my first postcard from Germany! Nicci sent it to me from her hometown of Wuppertal via Postcrossing. She might actually send me another postcard because she accidently mailed the card that was intended for me to China and promised to send me a replacement. Thanks Nicci, I'm looking forward to hearing from you again!

#16 Netherlands

Postcrossing member Helena from the Netherlands sent me this cute postcard. Green is my favorite color and Hello Kitty is also pretty adorable. :) I also like the stamp she put on the card, so thanks Helena!

#15 China: Gongtan Town

Horyuji from China sent me this postcard via Postcrossing. It shows the old town of Gongtan in Chongqing, which is located in Southeast China near the Yangtze river.

#13 USA: New York City, New York

Corinne, a fellow Postcrossing member from New Hampshire, sent me this card. The beautiful art card shows NYC, which is why I have decided to classify it as an entry for New York. Now I "only" have 48 more states to go. :)

#10 Poland: Stupsk

I found another Postcrossing postcard in my mailbox today. Szymek from Poland sent it to me and it shows the townhall in his hometown Stupsk. Thanks Szymek!

#9 Taiwan

Sandy, a Postcrossing member from Taiwan, sent me this postcard. The colorful art card shows the Confucian Temple in Taiwan City. Sandy also put some great stamps on the postcard, I love the little bunnies!

#8 Estonia

Postcrossing member Oksana from Estonia sent me this art card showing her favorite painting. She also put a beautiful flower stamp on the postcard that I'd like to show you.

#6 Finland

I found this little gem from Salla in my mailbox today. She is a Postcrossing member from Finland and the card she sent me shows an exhibit from a 2006 art exhibition. Salla also picked a beautiful artsy stamp, enjoy!

#5 Hong Kong

Today, I found another Postcrossing postcard in my mailbox. The card shows The Convention and Exhibition Centre in Hong Kong and Kira from Florida picked it up during her trip to Hong Kong in 2005.

At first I was unsure how to categorize this postcard because it was technically sent from the US. But since I'm collecting the postcard itself, I have decided to always go with what the card shows, which is why I labeled it as Hong Kong.

I also really liked the stamp she put on the postcard because polar bears are my favorite animals. Thanks Kira!

#4 Australia: Melbourne

I could hardly contain my excitement when I opened my mailbox today because I saw that my first Postcrossing postcard had arrived! Chally from Australia sent me this card showing the Victorian Arts Centre in Melbourne.
