Happy Mail & Endorsements I got

Sarah, who does the most adorable abstract postcards, wrote to me a while back:

Your swap is the highlight of my life twice a year!

I don’t think I could get a better endorsement for the DIY Postcard Swap than that, right?

Today I want to share the postcards I received in the DIY Postcard Swap last fall. I shared them as they came in on my Facebook Page Studio iHanna, and I think I contacted most of these people via e-mail to say thank you for the lovely postcards, but I rarely take the time to share the postcards I receive here on the blog, so today I thought I’d do that.

Postcards are fun to make, because what ever favorite art method you have, you can use it on a postcard. As you can see, there is not just one style or way to make a postcard, there are thousands. And each one is unique, beautiful and made me happy to get it.

Swap Endorsment

I love getting little handmade postcards like these so much! I especially love if they include a message of some sort to me. And sometimes the backsides are the most heart warming. This one is from Jenny in Colorado, who is not participating this year, but already sent me a beautiful postcard this spring (if a coloring page so it’s interactive, just like the web).

And lastly, another wonderful endorsement. I have been collecting them in a folder on the computer, just because they make me so happy. Cyndee wrote this on her blog at the autumn swap last year;

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.
