Dogs Don’t Even Have Pockets: Sent to China, Russia, Taiwan, & the U.S.

A bunch of Postcrossing Forum trades this time…

Snoopy!  The World War I Flying Ace heads for Linluo, Taiwan, in a USA-Asia tag.

Those early images of The Little Mermaid‘s Sebastian the Crab go off to Izhevsk, Russia, to someone who had that movie on her wish list of postcards.   She has since tagged me back, and since this is a “Studio Ghibli-Something from Wishlist” tag thread, I should be seeing a Ghibli card from her eventually.  I hope it’s from one of their “cute” movies!

The Skunk Train is bound for Shanghai, China!  It’s a “China Meets the World” tag, and the Postcrosser expressed an interest in railway cards.  Did you know that dogs are allowed on the Skunk Train?  They just have to have a $10 ticket.

Finally, there’s the postcard hewn from a box of Hello Panda.  It’s off to Falls Church, Virginia, fulfilling my obligations in a trade of food package postcards.  Hello Panda makes for wonderful mail art.  Also, the cookies taste good.

Stamps, stamp, sticker, & washi tape:

A splash of color, with chocolate-flavored flavoring: Sent to Belgium, Japan, Russia, South Africa, & the United States

A colorful handful this time!

Five more lucky people in this world! I would be thrilled to receive any one of these postcards. =D

The three on the left are all “chunks of cardboard” going out in my favorite ongoing swap-bot trade.

Crunky went off to Goleta, California.  The box made for a rather small postcard, but still a very cool one, I think.  The candy was not good chocolate, didn’t taste great, but it was tolerable once I got used to it–just like a Nestle Crunch bar in that way.

I told the swapper in Geel, Belgium, to cut up that Toucan Sam card!  That is why I bought the cereal–several boxes of it–but I have ended up giving away every single one of these cube-craft panels, not saving one to put together myself!  Such a sad story.

The Hello Panda boxes always make for great postcards, I think.  This one went to a swapper in Brakpan, Gauteng, South Africa, with whom I have been paired previously.  I hope I have not sent her this before! I think most recently, I sent her part of a ginger ale box.  Scroll back in the blog & let me know, would you?  🙂

The two postcards on the right are for Postcrossing draws; the aloha Jetoy went off to Arkhangelsk, Russia.  In her profile, this Postcrosser wrote of the “white nights” where she lives.  I had to look that up, and I have to admit I like the idea of it being sunny at midnight.  She also mentions loving snow, and I admit to nothing there: I like it warm & light, year-round.  I don’t necessarily get it, but I like it.  Thrilled not to live near snow.

Finally, that beautiful view of beautiful Pacific Grove went to Hiroshima, Japan.

Sent to Prince George, British Columbia

The swap-bot directive was to “make a postcard recycled from some other cardboard type material. It could be a cereal box, the container for something bought, a paperback book cover, a used greeting card… The possibilities are endless!”.  I was VERY up for this; every time I buy a box of Hello Panda, I want to turn it into a postcard!  

I like Hello Panda. Do YOU like Hello Panda? I like Hello Panda.
