Opening up for Happy Mail

In my blog post On the Receiving End I showd a few of the postcards I got in the DIY postcard swap
last year (you can still join today – don’t miss out!). Here are the rest from that lovely pile of postcards that I received:

DIY Postcard created by Julia, who sent her postcard out in an equally beautifully decorated envelope. I even got a “bonus postcards”, which I find hilarious:

Cake man Postcard.

DIY Postcard created by Jenny.

A little paint, mark making and a cute image of a few flowers or a butterfly… A postcard can be as elaborate or as easy as you choose to make it!

DIY Postcard by Sandra.

DIY Postcard created by Irene, who lives as far away from me as Botswana!

DIY Postcard by Sarah.

And that was all of them I think. Which one is your favorite?
