Thanks for showing ...I'm glad my card arrived. Thanks for showing it. I think the flash is hitting the silver paint and causing the blurring. To get a better picture with a flash you could take a picture from a distance and crop it. Not that I think you need to for my card! I'm just saying that approach has worked for me with photographing stuff with a flash, especially when there are dimensional and /or metallic items involved. Your other envelopes sure contained some treasures. I love the cat-themed stuff. And all those mixed media goodies! I had a package take almost three months to arrive from the UK that I sent to a friend when I was living there. It had no clues on it, and no damage (and it hadn't been opened). We think it might have gone via Victoria Australia before they realized they were on the wrong continent! Oh and I'm really annoyed by your post office scratching through the stamps! I have seen that occasionally, mostly in stamp grab bags I've purchased at used book stores or stamp collecting shops, and wondered why. And as someone already mentioned I'm really scratching my head on the foreign stamps - it's not like you can reuse them to mail stuff from the US! I hope your visit gives you a day of pleasant memories.Cindy McMathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10786235605189409252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14359045.post-11476608246015263052017-05-28T08:20:15.947-05:002017-05-28T08:20:15.947-05:00What wonderful, wonderful treasures!
