@sleepyhippo1 (#5) Sends the most ADORABLE bunny photographer! We might have to frame this one! It’s been raining here too, thanks for the cute stickers and intro to your pets’ personalities
@dnrhott (#6) sends some great views of Denver, Colorado. You have such beautiful handwriting Glad to hear all is well, the kids loved the cute stickers Thank you!
@nursegarry (#7) Sends some beautiful photos of Japan! The kiddos recognized Mt. Fuji right away. Japan was part of our geography studies last year, as well as an artist study of Hokusai, so it was a great connection point! So cool that you have 6 brothers & sisters, are they all in the medical field? My father in law is one of 9!! Everyone went the medical route except him, he’s a geophysical engineer.
Edit to add: can’t believe I forgot to say thanks for the cool stamps!

I received two cards today from
@nursegarry and @LLAcademy
@nursegarry i love this card!! Looks like they took a picture as she was falling into the pool. Beautiful
@LLAcademy i love this card too. I love how it has all the parts of the plant. Reminds me of a biology class I took when I was in school. I don’t have any nature journals, I keep meaning to start one but never do. I loved the washi too

#11 MuttleysMom received postcard from #12 @durangirl. Beautiful picture of Yosemite National Park. And thank you for telling me about your family. Loved the stickers and bright colors!
#6 @dnrhott
Montana is a great place to visit, I highly recommend it! It’s funny because I answer your question in my postcard. The stickers and stamp were very cute, thank you!
You mentioned you thought the picture looked like bread. I could see that. I also think it looks like a fist getting ready for a fist bump. Thanks for the card and cool stamps!

#11 MuttleysMom received postcard from @sleepyhippo1. I love the picture of a hiking path, looks so inviting. It’s nice to hear someone on Postcrossing has visited my town. And it’s fantastic you work with animals. My dog is a rescue and we wouldn’t have him without people like you. Thanks Marcella!
