2017 mail and Secret Christmas RR#3

I haven't written much about mail since the new year. I have received some beautiful cards that I wanted to show off:

Secret Christmas RR#3

 From gzechanka in Ukraine

 From Rodzinka in Russia. I loved the stamps on this one too.

 From Liisa in Finland. Thanks for telling me about the traditional decorations with the Finnish flags. I didn't know that.

 From Alevtina in Russia Thanks for the great stamps too. Love the braid on the snowman!

Postcrossing:

This is from Jacque in Az. I love it.  Because she's awesome, she also sent me the next card.

 I love Nouvelle Images!!!

 Keeping with the music theme. She also sent an Elvis stamp and Edith Piaf too. That would be a really interesting duet, eh?

Naoko sent this yummy card from Japan.
    This next one made me giggle a bit. It's from Marilyn in Texas.  I have never been to Tx, but I've heard "everything is bigger in Texas," so I guess this fits. I'm right on the "Damned Yankee" and snafu border.
