Here's some of the goodies we recieved, found, did, used....We now have an album to put our postcards in because the cat decided that pulling the postcards off the wall was just too much fun.  I kept trying to figure out WHO was pulling all the postcards down and leaving them on a heap in front of the map!  The map is still up, but we printed off another one to put on the binder and that will help us out.
