Time to join iHanna’s DIY Postcard Swap Fall 2017! I hope you are interested in joining this fun, international, awesome swap of handmade postcards swirling around the earth once again, spreading rainbows, joyfulness and happy thoughts to the people joining.
You make some postcards in your own style, and send them out, and then you get happy mail back in your inbox a few days or weeks later. If you haven’t tried swapping your own creations yet, now is the time! Please don’t feel you can’t because you’re a beginner at painting or making art, everyone is welcome. I believe everyone can make postcards and deserves some happy mail back.
If this sounds like something you would like to be part of, please read more on the information page and sign up ASAP!
Deadline for iHanna’s DIY Postcard Swap Fall
Last day to sign up for iHanna’s DIY Postcard Swap is 22th of October, 2017.
You can sign up today or wait a while until you have made your postcards, it’s up to you. But the 22 of October is the last day to sign up. The week after that you must have all your postcards ready to send out. If you can’t make ’em in time, don’t sign up or if you already did, please contact me before the deadline and let me know and maybe we can work some solution out so that your swap partners aren’t left without their postcard. Thanks in advance.

Oh Hanna! Thank you so much for brightening MY day with your newsletter/invitation regarding your Fall Swap! It amazes me how your inspiration always finds me when it’s most needed! XOXOXO
dearest hanna…. happy first day of fall! I waould like so much to be a part of your post card swap. It sounds so happy:) I have never done a swap but I do create happy art every day…. I definitely will need your input. I look forward to all your ihanna posts. I love to see what you’ve been up to. Keep up the creative work! I hope this little note pulls you out of the”slumps”. You inspire many with your art! Xoxo d.
Hi Hanna!
Sounds like it’s time to get busier!
Thanks for putting on this swap <3
Hooray! I love this swap! I’ve been so looking forward to it, that I’ve already started my postcards! :) Thanks for all the work you do on this, it’s such a treat to be a part of!
Yay! This will be my third year participating!
Hi Hanna!
Can’t wait to get started! Thank you for keeping us inspired!!!
Oh sweetie… it is indeed getting colder and darker outside but I ‘fight’ the darkness with lots of candles, pots of lovely tea (and in the evening a glass of wine) and bright paint… Oh, and watching Swedish and Danish crime series – I have a crush on those at the moment (Wallander, the Bridge, Modus) I do hope you find bits of happiness in your days and art too and that lots of artsy people will join your swap. (I don’t have time myself as my weeks are filled with projects/workshops of my own.) Keep on smiling dear one, big hug from the Netherlands!
Yay! so exciting. I really found the spring swap last year made a big difference to my creativity and actually trying out something new was one of the things I was most proud of last year.
Thank you for filling the internet with colour and enthusiasm and inspiration.
Hugs
Happy Fall!
I’m so excited to join in this year. I’ve only participated once, but it was great fun!
I’ve been using Pinterest more lately, and every so often, I see one glorious piece of art pop up and think “Hmm, that reminds me of iHanna!” and sure enough, it’s a pin from you! <3
Hi Hanna! I think this swap is just what I needed, as I have been feeling decidedly UNcreative lately. I had to check my old boxes of clippings to see if there was any magic left in them, and suddenly I see the beginnings of half a dozen postcards. Thank you for hosting the swap again, and here’s hoping autumn is a little brighter for you and all of us.
XOXO!
Dear Hanna, I missed the spring swap because we were moving. Now that I’m settled in our new home (with a *studio* space) this is a good kick in the butt for me to make some art. I’m excited about doing another postcard swap!
Hanna – I am so very happy it is PostCard Swap time again. I cannot count the number of times I have participated – perhaps back to 2013 and both Spring & Fall. THANK YOU so very much for organizing this world-wide creative energy exchange! I love it!!! Hope you are getting a bit brighter with each postcard creation. I enjoy Fall here in California because our days are crisp and clear – but winter and the gray skies and rain get me down. May our loving creative acts bringing some sunshine to each day.
Thanks for your sweet comment! All these comments warms my heart (although not my cold hands, I hope they turn on the heater soon). I love the postcard swap craze every time I start the swap up!
