postcards


This is one of the postcards I made for the postcard swap organized by Christina (the rest of them are quite similar to this one, but each were created separately). I have received a few in the mail from others already. And I must admit that I have felt pretty special when I go to my mailbox with such anticipation and am given the gift of a postcard. I plan to upload them to flickr, but, of course, I am still figuring out how to create a link to my flickr page so stay tuned.

Creating all these little pieces of art that I have sent out into the universe to be discovered in a few mailboxes all over the country (and world) has been so much fun. And I am owning the fact that these are "little pieces of art." The sentiment expressed in this postcard seems to be for me too. Maybe it is also for you.

you make me want to send postcards to complete strangers that aren't even expecting it.

I love that you're sending all these "little pieces of art" out into the universe. Giving both them and yourself wings.

How wonderful! Do you make these with paintshop pro and then print or do you make hard copies from scratch? Can't wait to see your gallery.

I love your postcard and I love the postcard swap. How wonderful to create a little something that will provide beauty to your friends.

This quote just could be the quote for my kitchen wall on the latest tag-list I've seen. Isn't actual mail (not ads or bills) so exciting? I love getting my magazines, but the rest is just one of those things in life I have to deal with/take care of. What I call "actual mail" (stuff like this, or a party invitation or any other note) is just fun.

I've been taking so much from your posts these past few weeks ... I especially enjoy your SPTs ... so "Hello!" and "Thank You!"

Thanks for stopping by and reminding me of that great line from Shawshank ... and introducing me to Christina's blog. I'll be scrolling it and linking, linking the rest of the night. I first found you after you commented on marvelousmadness and you've reminded me now is the time to drop another something in the grocery store. Sleep well.

Both your idea and your postcard (!) are an inspiration.

I received mine today and the sentiment was perfect for where I am. I need to stretch these winter weary wings and fly!
