From Barbara in the Netherlands

Barbara sent me this ADORABLE and quirky postcard, which was something I requested in my profile.

These characters are called Foomp according to the description on the back. At first they reminded me of Hoops & Yoyo, but I went to the website and from what I can tell from the images (can’t speak the language, and the translator on Google Chrome wasn’t working), children can make their own Foomp and it’s a big crafting project.

Barbara wrote that she loved crafting with her 4-year-old daughter and is hoping that her new baby will enjoy crafting as well when she is old enough. I bet that they do Foomp projects as a family!

I almost missed it because of the postal stamp, but she wrote by the date that September 15th was her 4th marriage anniversary. September 17th is my husband’s and my anniversary! We celebrated 3 years this year! I forgot to tell Barbara this in my receipt message, but I thought it was pretty neat we have anniversaries that are close to each other!

I loved this postcard and the amount of time Barbara spent writing to me and telling me about her life. Thanks Barbara!
