1. Holidays: Thanksgiving in Canada

If you're in the US, you're probably not out shopping for the perfect turkey, but our neighbors up North are starting to think about pumpkin pie. They will be celebrating their Thanksgiving on the 11th, so get those cards on the way soon. MyPostcards has the list to make it as easy as.... well, pie!

2. Just In: Orchid Postcards

---------------------------------------!! reader speaks !!
I have a hothouse full of orchids. Are there cards for me? ** Beatrice

Yes, if you don't mind sampling a few other flowers, Bea! You'll find great photography at this site that features orchids and water lilies with a few surprises. The selection is small, but the quality is excellent.

3. Spotlight: The Backyard Postcard

If the birds in your neighborhood have flown South for the winter, take heart. Here's a place where you can see those happy chirppers in all their glory - plus some nice flowers. And if you're in the hunt for the perfect bird feeder or birdhouse for your feathered friends, there are plenty of links for all types of backyard abodes. Very nice site.

4. Family Fun: The Cocoa Hut

Anybody thirsty? This is a cute site with 40 non-alcoholic drinks to send to all your friends. With names like Pink Passion Fruit Paradise, they are sure to bring a smile and thoughts of the Tropics!

5. Fantasy: Greeting Cards From the Gathering

---------------------------------------!! reader speaks !!
Is there anything that's kind of like scary fantasy cards instead of just fairies and stuff? ** Kimy

Well, just the name of this site sounds kind of scary to me, Kim, but you'll have to decide for yourself. There are some pets and flowers here, but the fantasy cards are different, too. Still, we may have to wait until Halloween for scary:-)

6. Eye Candy for Fans: Depp and Spears

---------------------------------------!! reader speaks !!
I want cards of somebody cute.... ** Morgan

Ok, so how cute is Johnny Depp? Or maybe I should say... who could be cuter than Johnny Depp! You'll find 16 cards of his different movie roles on this site including everyone's favorite "Edward Scissorhands". Sure looks like a cutey to me!

I'm 17 just like Britney Spears. Is there a card site for her fans? ** Nanci

You're not the only one who loves Britney these days, Nanci - and you don't have to be 17 to enjoy her music. Fans can find lots of choices of this little songbird here.

7. TV: The SG-11 Barracks Duty-Free Postcard Tent

SG-11. It's my fave ** Cliff

It sounds like my daughter isn't the only one glued to Showtime when Stargate comes on:-) Find all of your favorite characters waiting for you right here. And I have to say that the SC-11 logo makes a great card.

8. More Good Stuff: Spam, Bible Verses and Health

If you know anybody traveling to Hawaii, you have to send them one of these Spam recipes since it is so popular to eat on the islands. There are also humor cards and other categories on this site, but I loved the Spam cards.

Need a nice Bible verse with christian music and beautiful outdoor scenery? Make your choice from several selections at this new site put up by the Clover Valley Community Church.

Clover Valley E-Cards

Ok, maybe I'm blind, but I didn't see anything about health on this site. What I did see was a nice variety of 30 cards ranging from fine art to flowers with a few cute hearts. Definitely worth a visit, but I was expecting yogurt!
