Another interesting group of cards for your viewing pleasure. Some of them are gorgeous, and one of them is a first for me, and a rare country to boot. Yay!

First up, is also a first for me. This card comes all the way from the United Arab Emirates! It was sent by Liam and his mother. They write that they live about an hour and a half's drive away from Abu Dhabi. They live in "the garden city of the Emirates". They also write that it is winter now and they are enjoying the cool weather.

Thanks so much Liam and Mom! I appreciate your card very much.
I was on a trip to Taiwan when I received this card from Taiwan. I thought that was rather funny. I sent a few postcards from Taiwan, but I didn't see anything that looks like this!
Sandy writes that she is a social worker in an area famed for beautiful scenery and colourful aboriginal culture. She also writes that it is getting cold with temperatures in the area of 12 to 15 degrees Celsius. When she wrote the card she was busy preparing for Christmas and New Year.
The stamps that she used were also very interesting. I like the little dragon/dog one on the bottom left. Thanks Sandy!
Julia sent this card from Germany and writes that she likes Gauguin. She says that the pictures are so warm and strong. She sends greetings from Germany.

Thanks Julia! It's a great card.
Also from Germany, comes this card from Annette. She sends greetings from Osnabrück, where it was -7 with snow when she wrote.
She says that this card is from the North Sea, a holiday area. She wishes me a happy birthday, and a nice week.
Thanks Annette!
I received this cool card from Germany...that's three in a row if anyone is counting! I've requested thread or yarn craft related cards if anyone would like to send them, and I think this fits the bill.
Michael sent this with his best wishes.

My last card comes all the way from the Netherlands. It is a gorgeous card, but perhaps because it is oversize, it has been damaged on the way.
This postcrosser wrote a nice message, but didn't sign the card, so I don't know his/her name.
They wrote that on the front of the card you can see tulips, which are very famous in the Netherlands.
The writer is from The Hague, and has lived there all their life. They study pedagogy and are in their second year. They do their internship in a multicultural center for children.
Thank you so much for a really cool card. It is so bright and colourful that it makes me happy!
If I can just quickly mention one more card that I received this week. It was from a postcrosser that sent a card shown in the last batch. She sent me a special card for my birthday. It arrived the day before and is quite beautiful. She writes,
"Happy Birthday to you! May your dreams come true!"
Thank you so much Valentina! It's a gorgeous card. :-)
I hope that you have enjoyed the look at my latest cards. I wonder what will be in my mailbox next week?
I love comments, so please feel free to leave one for me! Until next time...

I like the sewing machine beauty card the best. What a treasure that one is!
I had a feeling you'd like that one! :-)
I like it too!
Nice postcards! I took a break from Postcrossings for a while and am just getting back to it. I walk to the post office and lately with my crazy hormones I can't seem to tolerate the cold and walking in it was miserable! I'm going to work on writing some tomorrow.
I need to write a few more too. I don't have time to scan them when F is home though, so I'll probably wait until Tuesday or Wednesday night.
I did just have one go through after 64 days to Russia. I thought that was cool!
Thanks for visiting!
