October Collaged PostCard Swap

[Carol@Swallowcliffs]

I thought it might be fun to have a collage postcard swap. Post cards don't cost much to mail and they are fun to collage. So, if you want to play, leave a comment here. Here is how it will work. I will send a postcard to the first person to comment, the first commenter will send to the second commenter and so on. I think this will work.... anyway, it would give us a chance to trade art. This is October 1st so sign up until October 7th... the last person to comment will send to me! Then you all will have to trade snail mail addies in order to mail. You can do that through PMs. DO NOT COMMENT HERE unless you intend to play please. I think the postcards should be 5" X 7", can be larger but not smaller. They may take a bit more postage than a regular post card so check with your PO! We will end sign up Oct 7, and mail out our cards by Oct. 14th!! Please be prompt... it's more fun that way!

hi boneita - if you are still there!! the orange berries are called pyracantha... am sure you must have them on your side of the pond! They come in all sorts of colours - the shrub is a little prickly and unfriendly... but the berries are just a wonderful colour.

I agree re photographs - i think if we open our eyes and engage brain there is beauty all around. I know in recent times, having now got a fantastic camera on my mobile phone, i have been snapping away at everything and anything and its amazing what we can see. I particularly like dew drops, rain drops and frost/ice/sunshine - anything that shows the beauty that is around us everyday...

sorry - am rambling! will let you get back to the box packing.........

Boneita,
Happy moving.
love from susan in australia

[Lin Neiswender]

Good luck with the move Boneita! Boy do I hate packing up and moving! AT least you have a little time to do it. Hope it all goes smoothly and you are creating again soon.

[Ang Monsoon]

Good luck with your move, Boneita, hope you'll tell us all about your new home once you're settled in!! I love the book "Main Street" by Sinclair Lewis & that's set in Minnesota.

Hey, Lin. Are you thinking of joining the home town swap? You must have lots of things bout your area you could collage about.

[Lin Neiswender]

Hey Carol, I think I will have to sit this one out. It is a long way to the tourism offices and my printer is not working. Good luck to everybody else though.

[Carol@Swallowcliffs]

bummer, wish you could play!

[Lin Neiswender]

If I snag a printer on sale soon, maybe I can...

[Carol@Swallowcliffs]

Hey, hope it happens then. One can go crazy without one's printer! I get pretty bazerk when I run out of ink... mine won't print if any of the cartridges are out of ink!
