Around the World!

We are having so much fun learning about other places through our Postcrossing experiment! We've received many post cards already. We sent a card to a lady in Serbia, who messaged me on Postcrossing that she was also Catholic and that she would like to send us post cards of her church.  Very intersting thing happened! She sent me a post card with a quote from my favorite saint. The quote is in Hungarian, but his name is clear! St. Josemaria is my favorite saint!  Another lady from Poltava sent a beautiful post card made with her drawing.  She has a blog where she shares her artwork with the world!  Viktoriia's Blog She has the most wonderful drawings of shoes!  The blog is all in another language, but the art is gorgeous! 

Here are the post cards we have received:

From Barcelona, Spain- the Basilica de la Sacrada Familia

Card from Poltava. Victoriia's art.

Card from Germany

Our new Serbian friend's Church

 Postcrossing is so much fun!  Give it a whirl!

Polish Postcard

Our first postcard arrived from Poland! We have had fun sending postcards around the world and are excited that ours will now start coming in!  Postcrossing is neat. The boys have enjoyed finding the cities where we've sent cards. Off to find Koszalin, Poland on the map! Happy postcrossing!

First Post Card Arrives in Taiwan!

We were all very excited to learn that our post card arrived in Taiwan already!  The receiver entered the number I wrote on the card into the database to let Postcrossing know it arrived.  Very neat. Can't wait to see what post cards will arrive here at our house!  I'll have to post pictures when they arrive.

I'm still working on my Catholic mail art.  I think I am going to use some of the extra pressed flowers I made.  I've spent the last few days catching up on techniques for the site and getting ready for Confirmation this weekend.  I still can't believe that soon I'll have three boys confirmed in the Church!  Where does the time go!?

Post Crossing

Post Crossing is a neat site where you can send post cards and receive post cards from around the world. I thought this would be a great project for homeschoolers.
