Love from the world!!

This beautiful postcard of this amazing castle was from Germany where it traveled 19 days to get to me. I love this postcard! I feel like this is one of my top favorite postcards. I love castles and I love Disney...and since this the castle is the one that inspired the Disney World castle. How awesome is that?! I love that! And I love how Christian picked this particular postcard for me! He said that he lived not too far from this beautiful castle and I think that that is amazing. The view is something to be envious about, too! :) I love it. I super love it!

How's about this amazing postcard! I love it! This postcard came to me from Germany from a wonderful lady who has sent me some amazing postcards in the past. I love how she picked out this postcard for me! I also love the quote that she added to my postcard, "Creativity is seeing what others see and thinking what no one else has over thought!" Albert Einstein.  I love it and I so agree with it! Life is definitely a beach!  Mermaids make me smile, and I wish that I could be one...but I"m happy being me. :)

An elephant from Germany.

I love this postcard sent to me from a friend in Germany! :) I love how the edges aren't straight but has a different kind of an edge than normal postcards. I know that you can't really tell from the pictures, but I adore how the postcard is full on glittery and there is an elephant front and center! I also appreciate the flowers and the beautiful lettering of the postcard! And the best part of the postcard, the sweet, extremely sweet message that was written on it. :)

Traveling postcards!

This friend from Turkey specifically requested a panoramic view of the the city and so I decided to send him this view of Honolulu. I hope that he likes it! :)

Loïc requested a postcard that represented where I live and I think that this was a perfect postcard to send to France. I hope that he enjoys this beautiful view of this beach! :)

The next three postcards are a set of three postcards being sent to the same place. I will be sending these postcards to China.

The first of the three postcards going to China will be this one. My friend specifically asked for this one and so since I had several of these particular postcards, I decided to send him one! :)

This next postcard going to China is this vintage moonrise postcard. He mentioned that he liked vintage postcards and moonrise pictures, and so I thought that this would be a lovely addition to his postcard collection! :)

And lastly this postcard of a multi-view tourist postcard will round up the group of 3 postcards on their way to China! I hope my friend from China will like these postcards that will be on it's way to him! :)

Sending out aloha to the world!

This lovely postcard will be on it's way to Amsterdam in the Netherlands! She mentioned ha she wanted a postcard what had a view of the landscape, and even though this is a view of the oceanscape here in Hawai'i, I hope that she will still like it! She also said that she liked flowers, so I decorated her postcard with flowers! :)

This here postcard will be traveling to Japan. Renn asked for a postcard that showed "local costume" and I hope that this fits the bill! She also mentioned that she liked "Daily life" things such as houses, spoons, forks, keys, "anything you use in your daily life"....so I added some stickers to portray that.

On it's way to Lithuania is this vintage postcard of Hawai'i's daily life! He mentioned that he liked vintage postcard and when he said that I knew exactly the postcard that I was going to send! I hope that he likes this one! :)

The beautiful aerial view of Sandy Beach will be on it's way to the mainland! It is going to New Mexico. I remember passing through there on the many roadtrips that I use to take with friends and family! :) But he asked to send a postcard that we wouldn't mind getting ourselves, and I definitely wouldn't mind getting a postcard like this! His profile on the website makes him out to be a really nice person! And I am sure he is! I hope that he likes this postcard and the way I decorated it for him! :)

This vintage postcard of the islands of Hawai'i will be on it's way to the Philippines for a direct swap with a young lady there. I have been exchanging postcards with her for a while now, and I hope that she likes this one that I have chosen for her! :)

This gorgeos Lanikai Sunrise postcard will be on it's way to Russia in the morning! She wrote that she wanted postcards of "places of interest" and this is definitely one of my favorite places of interest! I love this time and I love this place! It's so magical there are this hour...sunrise! :)

Postcards from Spain & Italy.

This gorgeous postcard came to me from Italy. It traveled 8 days to get to me and I can not get over how quaint it is! I love how the building is resting comfortably in what looks like mountains and there is so much greenery around! I love it! :)

This postcard is a direct swap from Spain! This person asked me if we could exchange postcards on IG when she saw one that she really wanted! And so I agreed and she sent me this one! I love it...and I love the washi tape that she used! :)

Sending a piece of me to Russia.

I am sending a set of three postcards to Russia. I "met" this girl through postcrossing when she sent me a beautiful postcard and she had written on the postcard a message that was so vivid in the writing that it impelled me to write her back in the same fashion when I thanked her for the postcard that she sent me. We have been emailing back and for every so often since and so I decided that I wanted to send her something to smile the way she did when she sent me a fun postcard!

Here is the first postcard that I am sending her. She had written me that she loves vintage looking poastcards and that was on the top of the list of the kind of postcards that she liked to receive, so I decided to make sure that she gets at least one vintage postcard from me! :)

Alexandra also mentioned to me that she loves seeing the creatures of the ocean. So I had to send her one with this breaching whale. I told her that I love whale watching and I don't think I'll ever get over the awestruck-ness of seeing such a magnificent creature in person in their natural habitat! :)

And lastlly, I am sending her one of my favorite postcards from Hawai'i. The picture postcard of this beach...I see this view often when I am driving Makapu'u side...and it's always so gorgeous! I did draw her a picture on this one since she mentioned that she loved the ocean as much as I did...:)

I hope she likes these surprise postcards that I am sending her! :)

Postcards from around the world!

 

This cute square postcard is from Melissa of the Philippines. She is currently the only one that continues to send me postcards and as long as she sends me postcards, I will send her one too. :) I love this quote is printed on the front of this postcard.  "Everyday may not be good...but there is something good in every day." I love that. And it's a quote that I think you should always keep in mind. :)

Last month the last postcrosser that I sent a postcard to for the year of 2016, I ended up sending her not one but 3 postcards and she was so thankful that she wanted to send me a postcard! And this is the postcard from Martina of Germany! She is so sweet! I really hope that one day she will achieve her dream of coming here to Hawai'i. I think that I will add her on the list of sending her a postcard again...I love to send "smiles" out and she wrote that she keeps the three that I sent her next to her bed so that she can see them when she first gets up in the morning. :) I love this postcard that she sent me. So sweet and lovely. :)

Postcards for Me!

This lovely festive postcard traveled 36 days to reach me from the beautiful country of Russia. I love how she wished me "many beautiful flowers and delicious ice-creame" for this year! How sweet and thoughtful! I appreciate nice people! :)

This Buncheong Celadon urn from the Joseon Dynasty came to me from Seoul, Korea. It took 37 days to reach me. I love how Ha-Young took the time to write about the postcard and a little bit about herself! I love when postcrosser actually like doing this project and make time to write something that has meaning and gives me a glimpse of who they are. :) Thank you!

This postcard is a direct swap from Ana of Portugal! I feel like she is a really nice person and it is times like this I wish that I can just easily pop over to where ever my postcard originated and talk to the person for a few hours! She seems really sweet! This postcard is a picture of the university that she attends. She also loves flowers and the sea.
