I’m always amazed at all those food bloggers. Not only do they cook magnificent things I’d never dream of trying, no, they blog about it and make gorgeous photos. My attempts at photography are *cough* mediocre at best, and my attempts at food blogging best go unmentioned. (But you can see them in my post about mega menu-mailer. Yeah, that’s me. take a bag from the freezer, thaw, cook still frozen and be happy to have something remotely edible.)
I stumbled over Meeta’s blog on blogher because she is living in Germany too. And not only does she have a food blog (and really gorgeous pictures), she also hosts the “blogger postcards from the world” event. I’m glad to participate in it for the second time.
This time around there is a theme to it: “Valentines”. I’m not much into Valentine’s day, because, in Germany at least, it seems to be an invention of a big chain of flower shops, but as Germans love anything American, of course, nowadays Valentine’s day is celebrated too. On the other hand, my feeling for gross commercialization notwithstanding, it is always good to spread the love around, and so I decided to make my own Valentine’s postcard to be sent to a yet to be unnamed recipient. I first thought of drawing a big heart and write something on it, then I couldn’t find a red sharpie. Then I thought, well, why not browse flickr and find some cute photo to use. There I saw a picture of several Valentine’s postcards. I almost used that and then I thought of my Peanuts collection. Ha! What would be better than a self-made peanuts Valentine’s card. Then my son came back from a friend, life happened and I had to try again today.
I went out and bought a postcard which you can see below.
As the one I sent as part of the first BPW event it will travel halfway around the world. But I won’t tell you where right now. All the bloggers on the list will blog about the postcards they sent today. Then we’ll wait. In a few days or so everybody who received a postcard will blog about it. And then you can see who got mine. Or who sent me a postcard. I hope my postcard travels safely. Right now my husband is going to the post office.

This is interesting. Thank you for yet another glimpse into the variety to be found in the blogosphere. I have not yet spent any time trying to actually find blogs pertaining to my interests.
I woke up thinking about Blog Exchange today. I don’t read them (other than the ones I normally do who participate), but I love the idea. I haven’t gotten in it myself because I’m unable to deal with “deadlines.”

wow. I wish I had known about that. I’d love to get a Valentine’s Day postcard! Maybe I’ll just send one to a random person in the phone book, but then again, Americans are a bit paranoid about getting mail origin unknown…

Susanne! Thank you so much for such a cute Valentine’s postcard! I was so excited when I opened up my mailbox today =)
And thank you, too, for such kind words. I’m glad you like my blog and I hope you come visit often!
