Here is the second card that Annie was nice enough to send so she could get credit on on postcrossing.com (US-175863). I love lighthouses so this is a great addition.

Catch up time
I've fallen way behind in my posting of postcards and they have been piling up. My scanner broke and it wasn't a high priority to fix. It's now a priority to post, so I can file away the piles of cards on my desk.
If you have been looking for your card that you've sent - be patient hopefully you will see it up soon.
Thanks

A Month of Letters (What an idea)
Oh, alright. I’m in!
Do you want to play? Here are the rules:
1.In the month of February, mail at least one item through the post every day it runs. Write a postcard, a letter, send a picture, or a cutting from a newspaper, or a fabric swatch.
2.Write back to everyone who writes to you. This can count as one of your mailed items.
Want me to write something to you? Wouldn’t it be fun to get a letter, on paper, or a package of some kind? Email me at suefitz AT yahoo DOT com.
That’s all you have to do. I’ll send you at least one physical correspondence of some kind. If you’re not in the US, no worries! We have this wonderful thing called Air Mail. And wouldn’t it be fun to get a letter from overseas???
And here’s a link to the person who thought this all up: http://www.maryrobinettekowal.com/journal/month-of-letters/
Thanks to Missive Maven or pointing it out. In case she thinks no one raads her posts it was actally at the tell end of a postcrossing.
I figure this is a good way to get caught up in postcrossig. I was bad and didn't sent any out in January. I also feel this is a great way to add to my autograph collection. I collect auto'd sports cards, author bookmarks and bookplates.
Good luck to you all and hope you join.
