Oh hi, sweet one! I couldn’t write this post until now, sorry, I know you were curious. But matter of fact I got the last (and most possible latest) postcards last week from the Netherlands. It was the one I’ve been waiting for to write this post. So I think it’s time to share what I got this year! And I know many of you (with over 200 participants) in this swap will agree with the above statement: You do get the best possible postcards in this swap! [Feel free to pin that statement to your pinterest board if you agree].
I’ve been snapping quick as-I-take-them-inside iPhone photos of the cards I’ve received as they’ve arrived here, and posted them to my Facebook Page, here are a few of those:
So many cute details!
Fabric scrap on an envelope, stickers, hand lettering, owl stamps… And a special, secret message tucked in at the back of a postcard (and washi taped to stay in place), darling stamps used, sweet words… And in one of the envelopes, extras, for further paper crafting:
Yummy stuff (they will end up in my art journal for sure)!
Here they all are in a big pile on my floor:
I have sent out thank you e-mails to everyone who sent me a postcard, and my heart is filled with gratitude. Thanks once again for being part of all the fun of making, sending and sharing creativity via our mail art! Can’t wait for the next one!
What I sent out! If you want to take a closer look, they are Word Poetry Postcards and Extra Postcards, and also captured on video in the making! There is also a (now closed) link up with lovely links to visit, all about postcard making!

Hanna, your postcard swap is always so much fun! The colours and creativity really are inspiring. Thank you for hosting it! :)
Thank YOU Kathryn, glad you enjoyed the swap!
I’l be definitely be taking part again next year! I got another email to acknowledge one I sent just today . . . over a month later. Talk about snail mail!
This was my second time doing this swap and it was so much fun. Thank you for hosting the swap and for having the Flickr site on which to share our outgoing and incoming cards (for those of us who don’t do FB).
Those post cards ars are so yummy. Great for art journals and mixed media art… What cool things you will create with all of those lovelies!!! Waiting to see.
I still have the postcards decorating my apartment from when I participated about a year ago. Hope to have time to participate again!~
Thanks for leaving a comment! Maybe you can join the swap after summer. I think autumn is easier for some if us! :)
