What to do on a lazy Sunday... :)

 Yay, it's Sunday!

Time to sent out some postcards to people all over the world :)

Here's my pink 'bag of Happiness', because whenever I open it, 

I know I'm gonna do fun stuff :)

So what's in it?

First of all, of course, my collection of postcards

I go shopping for cards every 2-3 months, because it's a good excuse

to visit a big city or have lunch with a friend :)

I usually buy my cards in a small souvenir shop in Antwerpen, which is close to my hometown

The man who sells cards already knows me... A while ago he brought a box of old postcards for me,

that I could have for free! 

He's such a nice man and I can't even think about buying my cards elsewhere :p

I know that Belgian postcards are not really 'special', because it's not a so-called rare country

But... we do have attractive things! ^^

Last year I took these free entrance tickets for the Atomium and Mini Europe (great 

touristic places in Brussels, capital city of Belgium) and I like to add them to the cards that I send

Another thing that I like to add are small chocolates, wrapped with paintings of old Belgian houses

Yummy! ^^

Finally, I use stickers and pencils to decorate my cards

Last weekend I've bought some washi-tape too, the first tape shows paintings of camera's

and the other tape says: 'Enjoy the blue skies'

Colourfull stickers, flowers & cats & stars

My washi-tape! ^^

Now I can't wait to go back to my postcards again :)

How do you decorate your cards? How much time do you spent on it?

How important do you find it to receive decorated cards?

Have a nice Sunday! :)

A colorfull card from Germany

I swapped a postcard with Sebastian from Germany

I met him on the Interpals website, 

where we talked about the happiness of receiving a handwritten postcard :)

 On the card we can see some views from the Allgäu-region in Germany

A very cute stamp <3

'It's Spring'... This sticker made me very happy :)

Thanks Sebastian for this wonderfull swap! :)

My first card from beautiful West Papua

I got this beautiful postcard from my friend Zaky, who I met at the Interpals website

The card was send from Wayag Island, the most beautiful island in Raja Ampat, West Papua

The Raja Ampat Islands are known as 'the lost paradise on earth',

a place where you can go diving, snorkeling and enjoy the underwater biodiversity

That's why there are often many tourists, but it still looks like an untouched natural place!

Zaky warned me not to go diving in a place called Paiynemo,

because there might be little sharks swimming around there ^^

Thank you so much for this beautiful postcard and the nice conversations we have!

I hope I can visit you and your beautiful island one day :)

A postcard from Sochi, Russia

Today I received this postcard from Sochi, Russia
It was send by Katy, who I met at the Interpals website

On this card, we can see the seaport of Sochi. This port is working all year round
It's one of Katy's favourite places in Russia

The tall building in the middle is a railway station that was contructed by Alabyan, a famous Russian architect

I love the stamps!

Thank you Katy for swapping a postcard with me!
