Yesterday afternoon, I received an envelope containing a short hand-written letter, a postcard and a hand-made card from Auli, a 44-year-old grandmother from Finland. Yes, she’s only 44 but she has a granddaughter aged 4!
The postcard, she says, shows a typical summer lake view in Finland, which is also dubbed “the Land of 1000 Lakes.” Which reminded me of the “Land of Big Roundabouts with Long Names” post that I had written but accidentally deleted *sniffs*
And she made the flower card herself, with a little help from her copy machine, which I assume is a printer :))
And since she took so much trouble to make the pretty flower card, I will send her a surprise postcard in return. And no, no prizes for correctly guessing what card I’m going to send her *winks*
If you think this post might benefit other bloggers:
Terrapin postcard! Lol
pelf: BINGO! Muahahah :))
Eh, terrapin postcard? Not my blog’s print screen meh? Cheh.
pelf: Your blog’s print screen ar.. Can consider wan..
hahaha….terapin. I guess no surprise liaw.
pelf: But I didn’t ask anybody to guess leh.. And BTW, I do have another type of card - the green turtle.. :))
AWESOME!!
I’m still waiting to get a handmade card, so far none yet. Very pretty!Dont be surprised that you’ll be getting loads of card from Finland and you’ll be also sending out the same. Lol Mine is 50% Finland & 45% Holland. The 5% is lain-lain.
pelf: Yea, I figured so too because there are just too man Finnish members, huh?! That’s why it is a good way to request for a card NOT from Finland via the forum, hehehe :))
What forum?there’s a forum for terrapin lovers?wei honestly before reading your blog i din know what a terrapin was lei.i knew its appearance la but not its name.sounds like a small mafia.
pelf: No la, not terrapin forum. It’s Postcrossing forum where people offer and request for a particular type of postcard - it’s ideal if one would like to collect postcards on a certain theme..
oh hehe…okok ming pai ming pai.
pelf: It’s “ming bai”.. :))
EJ : U still drunk arr? the smoke not cleared yet? WAAAKAKAKAKAKA!!
Pelf : I know can request but defeats the purpose lar, wont be a surprise anymore lar then, kan?
pelf: I think we’ve had this conversation sometime ago.. :))
Yes, we did…you gave me the same answer too.
pelf: Actually ar.. Even the official cards kinda spoil the surprise too, because you KNOW that for every postcard sent, you will receive one back, so tell me, WHERE is the surprise? If you don’t send any but receives many, THAT’s a surprise
The surprise is that u wont know WHERE it’s coming from lar. But I hear that some ppl are lucky like that. Send a few but get more in return. Got to go n get me some lucky dust! ;P
pelf: Where to get those lucky dust ar..? *winks*
