Writing my way around the globe: Swap from Germany

Swap from Germany

I received this envelope earlier this week, and when I noticed the name of sender, my face must have been one big question mark: we had agreed about a postcard swap with Sandra, and she had told me she'd send her cards first. So I was a bit confused to receive such a fat envelope, as we had spoken about postcards, and I had imagined that maybe we would swap 10 cards or so... Well, of course I was really curious, so I carefully opened the package:

Tea, coffee and chocolate, huh! I was really pleased; surprised and really happy. I love to make this kind of surprises to other people, and can't deny that it would not be great to receive such myself as well.

Oh, okay, so then I started to open that really fat and heavy paper bag and what did I find...

20 postcards!!! And all of them straight from my favorites. I was literally speechless for the next 30 minutes and just kept reading the cards, sitting in our kitchen with my mouth open.

I have made a great deal of wonderful swaps along the years, but this one was such a big (literally!) surprise to receive, that... wow. I still don't have the words for this. I am just so thankful and happy about the fact that there are so many kind people around the world. Nochmals vielen, herzlichen Dank, Sandra!

So here you go: 20 outstanding postcards:
