Prettige feestdagen (Happy Holidays) Postcard

In December, I received this wonderful holiday postcard from Gerda, with an equally wonderful holiday message written on the opposite side. :)

Thanks so much, Gerda! It was such a pleasant surprise to find it in my mailbox. :)

Love these festive holiday stamps!

Grinch In The Trunk

Another fun/weird/amusing/humorous/oddball sighting in St. Louis, Missouri, this past week.

Check out the trunk of the silver car. (Not great photos, but I couldn't really run up to the driver and ask him to sit still for a photo session...not that I didn't think about it! :) )

I'm pretty sure it's the Grinch's green hand, sticking out of the trunk, holding a Santa hat.

Yep, the green hand and the Santa cap are a match.

He's up to something again!

Holiday Cards and Thank Yous

From long time postcard pal, Jaana in Finland.
Thank you so, so much for this beautiful card and yummy goodies!

From postcard collector extraordinaire, Brenda in Florida, USA. Many thanks for this cute holiday card and so many others you sent my way throughout 2013. :)

From nerdy buddy (her own words :)), Denise in Georgia, USA. Thank you for this lovely wintry holiday card, and for everything else this past year!

Helsinki, Finland Postcard

 Here's another lovely postcard from Jaana in Finland that found its way to my mailbox in late December.

This one is a contemporary artsy kind of card.
Very nice!

She always makes sure to put great stamps on her cards. :)

Thanks, again, Jaana!

Pancake Machine, A Christmas Wish

Just in case Santa reads this blog, I'm tossing out a subtle hint as to what I'd like for Christmas this year.

But, since NO ONE took the hint for my 2010 Christmas wish, I'm not holding my breath this year, either. :)

Cardinal Christmas

After doing a little dusting and cob web removal, this here little blog doesn't look half bad!  Anyway.....

My family is cuckoo for the Cardinals. And since they won the world series this year, Cardinal-themed gifts were plentiful for Christmas.

I am now the proud owner of a shiny red official MLB 2011 World Series Champions - St. Louis Cardinals hard hat! Woohoo!!

Merry Christmas!
