ihanna's Postcard Swap Update

-
It's always sad when the last postcard arrives.  I got all 10 rather quickly this year.  I wanted to share them all with you.

It always amazes me how different they all are.  The cards on the right are from Jenny Pesavento in Colorado Springs,Liven Geelmuyden in Norway, Kit Wojcik in Long Lake Minnesota, Jeane Sliney from Duluth Minnesota and Charlotte in Sweden.

One thing you can't see in the photo is the back of Jenny's card.  It has a little pouch with a secret message.  Such a cute idea.  Charlotte  put two cards in a large envelope.  Double surprise.

Nancy actually painted 4 cards then cut them apart into smaller cards.  Jeane used a piece of corrugated cardboard for hers.  All very original. 

On the left, postcards from Linda Hartzig in Gastonia North Carolina, Eleaca Young in Cantwell Alaska and sally-Ann Garret on the Isle of Wight in the UK.

I must apologize to Eleaca for not sending a thank you.  You didn't give me an email address.  I do love the card with my morning coffee. 

Linda's card is the first I've ever received made entirely of fabric.  It's appliqued and quilt stitched.  Sally's card was the largest.  I love them all.  Thank you so much.

Thank you ihanna for hosting another great postcard swap.  I do look forward to this each year.

Hugs to all, thanks for visiting.

PS:  I found Eleaca's website, finally got to thank her for the cute card.

ihanna postcard swap

I haven'd done a post card swap for several years.  ihanna offers a swap twice a year now and they are always fun.  Not only to create the postcards but mostly receiving them.  Watching the mail box each day to see where the next one might come from.   It's not too late if you are still interested, just follow the link above to sign up, you have till Oct 22.  ihanna is in Sweden so this is an international swap. 

Finally started on my 10 postcards,  a little paint, a little collage and finally some doodles.  Just waiting for my list of addresses to send them to.



It's not like I really needed another project but always fun to do something different.  I have 4 scheduled fall/holiday events and another on a wait list.  Plus it's football season and the grandsons are playing.  By the looks of the wins all 3 teams will be going into playoffs. 

The rains have started after a long dry summer, but thankful the smoke is gone and the air is clear.  Feeling sad for all the famili…

Still receiving postcards in the mail from iHanna's swap this fall.  Love getting the real mail and not just advertisements.   So far I've received 8 cards,  from Oregon, Washington (close to home), California, British Columbia, Arkansas and Virginia.   Since I don't have the last two I bet they are coming form some place overseas. 

Here's a look at the different designs I've received so far. 


Thank you everyone that sent me a card, some email addresses were not real clear so haven't been able to get that personal thank you out. 

Fall is definitely here,  cold, windy and rainy here today.  A good soup day. 

Stay warm where ever you are.

Thanks for visiting.

Hugs

Beach Escape

If someone tries to tell you that a bad day at the beach beats a bad day at home don't believe them.  I got rained on, hailed on and blown.  My poor pup didn't like the hail storm we got caught in while walking on the beach.

The first two days were beautiful, didn't even need a jacket the second day.  I did know the prospect of good weather wasn't going to last so spent most of the first couple of days walking outdoors.

All and all it still refreshes the mind to get away to where none of the things at home can weigh on your mind.  We walk when we could, whenever the clouds would break and even in the rain.  One day in desperation to get out for a walk we bundled up, rain coats for both of us and went out for a short walk.  But you know once you're wet what the heck, keep going.  That was the day we took the logging trail up above Rockaway Beach.  Even in the rain the view was beautiful and lots of good smells for Fritz.

Dogs, I don't understand how they can pee …
