Sender: Jurgita Jurgita drew my address on Postcrossing's 6th birthday celebration (1 of the 6 extra addresses offered to all existing postcrossers). I managed to do the same too on that date, discovered the offer just by luck, as it ended at midnight! This kitty card is my second one, but I find it cute all the same. Further, the card may have the same picture on the front but the stamps, the country of origin and the written words at the back are not! :)
