I found 8 cards when I returned from my holiday, but I'm not going to post all 8 cards right now. I'll post half of them for your viewing pleasure now, and half when I have more time.
I'd enjoy hearing any comments or observations that you have on the cards.
The first card came from Valentina from Belarus. She writes that she loves books, flowers, nature, music but especially children. She wishes me all the best with this interesting card.

I rather liked the simple look of the stamps. Very architectural but attractive too.
The next card comes from The Ukraine, from Elena. She points out how similar our names are. She tells me that she enjoys watching movies and mentioned The Intouchables as a recent favourite. She loves watching retro movies too, like Marilyn Monroe in Some Like it Hot and especially films with Alain Delon. I haven't seen too many of his films, sad to say.
This is a very popular card on Postcrossing!

I really like this card!
The stamps that Elena used are amazing too. The triangular one is very shiny and the one on the left is beautiful. I wish I could see it better!
Thank you Elena.
I received another Russian card on January 27th. It was sent by Nataly who writes that she's a doctor and works in a hospital. She loves her work, but her dream is to live in a warm country by the sea some day!
Nataly's card has a recipe for borscht on it. I've never made borscht. I've only once seen beets up here and I didn't buy them. Still, I can dream about making this some day.
There were two stamps on the back of the card, but I only scanned one of them. The other was a fairly common one. This is quite an interesting picture, plus it is really big! It takes up about one sixth of the postcard!
This entry has had a very Soviet bent to it so far, and this card is no exception!
Sergey sent this gorgeous card from Russia. He writes that he's keen on travelling and learning foreign languages. He says that it is cold in Moscow but there isn't any snow. This annoys him because he enjoys making snowballs and going tobogganing. He asked me about Japanese weather, so I told him we had lots of snow where I live!
He wished me a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. He sent this card a bit before Christmas, but it took a long time to get to me. It is a very wintery card though.
I really like this card!
There you have it. Four great cards and a lot of beautiful stamps.
Until next time!

The snowy trees are great. I just took a similar picture this week looking up into a bamboo grove!
Did you? We don't have any bamboo nearby. I'd have to go into the mountains I think.
I like that card too. Even though it has snow, it has gorgeous blue skies which always make me feel better!
I love to read your post crossing posts, as well as the TV info. It is exciting to hear about exotic sounding places.
Aww! Thank you. If you'd like to see more postcrossing entries, have a look at Crafy Tokyo Mama's blog too. She's in AFWJ too!
Thanks for visiting :-)
That should be CrafTy Tokyo Mama! Oops! Sorry!
