QueenBex sent an adorable postcard, a handsomely stitched gecko card (I think it's a gecko! It's setting off my gecko-dar. Not an anole, right?), and a handwritten note of personable tone and fine penwomanship! :D Thank you, QB!~ I've got my reptile friend on display with my books, one shelf up from my prized Raktajino stitching. :nod

Thats so strange to see a picture of it all!! Glad it got to you ok, didn't take too long to get there either!! :)

I believe it is a gecko ;)

I'm glad you liked it - the postal service in the UK is obviously better than it's given credit for, I posted it yesterday lunchtime, so I'm impressed it made it there!

Sorry that it didn't look more like yours!

I am having the most difficult time finding a postcard.. Been to three Canada Post locations and they all don't carry them. Guess I'm not in a tourist-y enough area lol I have one more to check tomorrow and if they don't have it I'm sending my letter anyway. I tried, pen pal, I tried!

I've been on vacation, but now that I'm home I'm happy to get started! Sounds like a great reason to get some new stationery. Maybe I'll throw in some vacation pics as well!

My letter will be sent tomorrow when I send out my swap gift. Typically anything I send state side takes a couple of weeks so hopefully it'll be where it needs to be around mid November. Awesome to see so many people already sending and receiving their letters though :)

I'm hopefully getting mine sent out tomorrow! It'll just be a greating card, because I'm pretty sure they don't make postcards for where I live :blush: And if they did, you probably wouldn't want one since my town is all factories and railroads. But at least I can say the paper I used will be pretty!
