Stop! Christmas Time! (Alternative Title: I'm Back Baby!)

I have turned a new leaf in life because up till yesterday I was not feeling the Christmas spirit. But now I'm all over the it and I'm in such a good mood.  Here is a pic of me playing Santa that made me laugh. Wait - I meant I was filling in for Santa as he is such a busy guy. Ha!

                                   Stop! Santa is in the house!



And here is me shopping in Quebec and helping Santa again:

Here is a postcard I received from Finland. Thank you Sari! I plan on framing this.

And this doesn't really fit the Christmas theme but I mailed this out to Finland today. This card was created by artists who do not have use of their arms. It was created by foot and mouth only.  The artists are based out of Toronto. I had meant to visit the agency last time I was in Toronto but I ran out of time. The postcrosser collects banknotes and stamps so I provided with some of my American surplus of money and stamps.

Well I'm out of time. I'm off to curling. Only 4 more days till I see my fav gal!

Happy Christmas Time!

I love the Big Bang Theory! I just wanted to get that out of the way. Now I can focus on mail art and postcrossing. Here goes:

I am sending this card to a person in Australia. My friend is moving back to London so it is also a part tribute to him.

 

This is from Germany and is a school project that was turned into a postcard. I'm going to frame this and bring it out every Christmas. Thank you Sandra!

Everyone in postcrossing much know by now how much I love coffee. This card came from Russia.

I hope the rest of the world watches C.S.I. because I have been sending this Christmas card around the world. Ha!

Sidenote: I have no dvd player so I'm stuck watching TV. I'm stuck between American Dad or Beyond Scared Straight. They both suck. 

I received this for my joint postcrossing account with my favorite gal. Finally someone addressed a card to me instead of her. It took 63 days for it to reach me from Poland. Thanks Marta!

I received this from my favorite pen pal in England. She is the best. This was the first Christmas card I have received from her. We are almost at a year of writing each other. I hope we continue on for many more years.

This I received from the lovely Claire in the good ole United States of America.  How did she know I love baseball? I sent her a CSI Christmas card in return.

And here is a plug of Cora's.  I sent it to my favorite gal because we always enjoy eating there. If you haven't eaten at one you don't know what your missing.

Whoah it is 12:30 am and though I'm not tired I should at least try to wind down. This could be my longest blog post ever. I hope you enjoyed it. Good night.

Mitch All Together

I can never think of a good blog title so named it after Mitch Hedbergs third stand-up cd. If you are not familar with him look him up on youtube. And with that introduction lets move onto mail art:

Postcrossing accounts:

This beautiful card came into today and added some warmth to my day. The winter can be cold and depressing where I live.

I manage a postcrossing account for a relative so this is what the next person on his list will receive on  my behalf. The receiver is from the USA and he loves science fiction. This was the best I could do for him.

I had more to show you but I'm extremely tired so this is a good time to cash out.

Red Ring!

So my X-BOX 360 suffered the red ring of death and is out of commission. I owned it for 7 years (roughly) so I think it lasted a good run. People would crank me and say it was because of heavy use but I just chuckle because I have heard all the jokes before.I don't play half as much as I did when I was 25 but I feel like I'm going through slight withdrawals here.

So since I have free time now to focus on my other hobbies here is so more postcrossing updates:

This is going to the Ukraine. I bought this in Toronto a few weeks ago and the fellow postcrosser requested a night view. This fits the bill perfectly.

I hope this person in Belarus enjoys this one. They had requested things that represented the country that you are from.

I love when postcrossers don't have any specific requests. I sent this to Europe and I informed her that Minnesota is my favorite state.

Now on to my second account which was created for my favorite gal:

This one is going to Poland.   I wished him a happy New Year!


Well this is a good place to stop. Good night everyone!

Under New Management!

I have to give credit to my fav gal for my last blog post. She brought a refreshing spin to my blog.  It is much appreciated. To be fair I have been busy and Christmas is creeping up and ....... and.....insert random reason why I don't blog as much. Well I am back and ready to roll.

Here is a real time blog update. Are you ready? Here goes:

10:35  Update:


I am watching Residential Evil on television. Last time I watched this was when internet was still fresh (2001) and we had to crowd around friends computer monitor  (13 inch) and watch a blurry download. Whoah! Now it is 50 inch television screens and HD images. Classic. I don't even want to get started on why I'm watching tv anyways.

I'm working on postcrossing. Here is what I'm sending to Germany to a postcrosser.

 

I got this bad boy in Toronto a few weeks. Ad-cards are the best - just slap cardstock on the back and it is a instant postcard.

Oops. I'm too tired from working Friday night and Saturday night. Off to bed for me. Sorry

My Great Adventure!

Hello fellow followers!!!! This is my adventure into the lost land of Niagara Falls.  It was AWESOME weekend with one great girl :)



As we walked around, we ended up crossing the bridge to the United States and the great view of the falls.  I was a little nervous of the whole bridge walking and now far down!

Lovely dinner of TGI Friday! Don't I look snazzy!!!!

The beautiful American and Horshoe shaped falls... how wonderful it was!

My 2nd favourite place on Clifton Hill: Dave and Busters.. Hours of gaming

Tallest man in the world and his lovely seat!
