I’m sitting here with a lit candle flickering by my side, sipping some tea. I thought I’d write a long post about “this and that” from my mind today, but now I’m just too tired to put together words… I created an excel document tonight with information about the participants of the DIY Postcard Swap that I posted about yesterday. This has the potential to be huge!

Here are some postcards that I have done earlier, posted again today to inspire! Enjoy!

Thanks for being here. I hope you enjoy all these close-up of handmade postcards from the past and more recent times. Personally I enjoy these photos because if I hadn’t taken them I’d have forgotten most of these creations a long time ago. They’re like little time capsules of my creativity, sent out all over the word.

  5. Wonderful cards, the oriental batch looks really interesting. On the Give Love and Be Creative did you paint the background or is it digital. Whatever, it is neat.
