Postcard Challenge 2012

week 12 Israel.

wow this week was hard huh?

I finally settled on a camel for my page..













For my card I looked to see what other animals were found in Israel. I discovered that in May 2008 the Hoopoe bird was chosen as the national bird. This choice was made to coincide with the 60th anniversary of the country, and was as a result of a survey of 155,000 citizens.


















On the back of my card,we see Ren is still missing and charlie is following leads to find him..Is the whole organisation in peril, who is the mole selling names of agents, will Charlie find Ren in time?













HERE IS WHERE YOU LINK UP...add your name and blog link, then go visiting.

    Israel was very hard! Really could do better with some isle in the tropics but just had to work with it... :)
    You did great! I love your page, might be because my little ones are sick and I've been watching Aladdin all week... :)
    Your bird is very pretty! You did well on Israel!!! ♥

    Excellent choices of subject for your postcard and book, Darcy. Love the background you created for the camel on the envelope. Was very difficult this week for me. Struggled with the country probably due to all the sad news that has been on the tv.

    Love the camel and background and the bird. Sounds like we all struggled this week, a challenge it is though. Well done you.

    Hi Darcy,
    You were very clever with your Israel page and card. I'm not there yet. Hope it is OK that I post my links on current Mister Linky. I'm catching up.

    love the silhouette of the camel and rider. beautiful bird. so hard to find a missing person. I found the Netherlands harder than this week though. finding the challenge getting tougher time wise but love all that I'm learning from everyone.

    FOOD!!!!

    Great country. As a side note, my dad has been providing stamps, as he is a very serious stamp collector. He looks forward to this challenge each week and keeps asking for a 'challenging' country. Apparently, it's been too easy.

    Very dramatic card with the camel silhouette... definitely an "out of Israel" scene! The bird is beautiful...looks textural...I want to touch it!!
