Postcard Swap and a Photo Tag!

The very artistic Steviewren of A Little Birdie Told Me So hosted a fun post card swap recently. All the participants agreed to send a postcard to each participant, and we would receive one from each in return. We sent all the post cards at one time to Steviewren who wrote out the address for each participant, and then mailed them out in intervals so that we'd receive them slowly. It was fun to have mail to look forward to beyond bills, ads and charity requests which are all I seem to get in the mail these days.

Everyone was so creative! The post cards had recipes, poems, a blog scrabble, photo collages, hand stamped and hand painted designs. three dimensional appliques -- all were a delightful surprise to receive! I'm afraid I was the least creative as the ones I sent out were an actual NYC postcard .... but I did at least add a little rubber stamp design to each in the comments section.

Thanks Steviewren! This was fun and I'd love to participate again sometime!

Trish, of Nana's Living The Dream tagged me last week in a "Photo Tag" whose rules were to go to my photo folders on my computer, open the fourth folder, and post the fourth photo, and write about it!

Here it is:

We were on the Queen Mary 2 to celebrate our 30 wedding anniversary on the fall foliage cruise that went 12 days to New England, Nova Scotia, Newfoundland and down the St. Lawrence River to Quebec, Canada. This photo was taken in Newfoundland, where we took a day excursion, and I took this photo of the Queen Mary 2 docked at the city of Corner Brook.

My husband had won a digital camera in a charity raffle he entered earlier in the year, and we took it along with us on the cruise, but I hardly used it. I didn't care for it at the time because I liked my trusty old Kodak film camera better and didn't see the point of digital, as I liked to have hard copies of my photos developed to put in photo albums.

Wow, has that changed -- now I couldn't live without a digital camera! I have so many photo folders on my computer now that my free Picasa storage is nearing its end and I will have to upgrade soon.

Thanks Trish, for this fun tag!

I am supposed to tag four people to do this photo tag, so I'm choosing Diane of A Picture Is Worth a Thousand Words, Joanne of My Little Cottage In The Making, Dana of The Stone Rabbit, and Sherry at Edie Marie's Attic.

Hope you are all able to join in and take a little walk down memory lane!
