The old fashioned snail mail way is blossoming in the generous and kind blogging world. I’ve received goodie bags and won giveaways, participated in swaps and I love it all!
Collage Postcard Pile | Video of all things Postal
Before I sent my handmade postcards away last year I got in my head that I’d do a little quick video showing all of them (and the stamps I bought) and talk about them instead of writing a long blog post about them. Now I have edited it and I want to share it with […]
DIY Postcard Swap spring 2021
Let’s make some happy mail and DIY Postcards together, shall we? Last year was our 10th Anniversary of the DIY Postcard Swap, but of course I want the joy of the swap to continue this year. So let’s create even more fun! Get the DIY Postcard Book, join the instagram challenge, make postcards! I sent […]
Happy Mail from La Wendeltreppe
I love happy mail with cute postal stamps that I haven’t seen before, like these from Germany. So very cute, right? I adore the one with The Gruffalo, because I remember vividly how I read the first book to my brother when he was a kid (written by Julia Donaldson and illustrated by wonderful Axel […]

Yes, even more postcards! I am continuing from here and here, with the over one hundred postcards that I received in the Anniversary round of the DIY Postcard Swap that I host every spring and fall, for the past ten years! I am sharing the DIY Postcards that I got as a hostess here. Normally you […]
Painting outside the lines | process video
Painting outside the lines is (to me) more fun than being confined by rules and boxes. I once wrote a blog post on Coloring Books for Grown Ups asking if we really need them… But not matter your opinion about coloring books and coloring pages, I think it’s always interesting to find new ways to […]

I got over one hundred postcards in the 10th Anniversary of the DIY Postcard Swap this spring (and now the fall swap is open if you want to join in – and we’re still celebrating the anniversary year of course!). I think that is preeetty good for being a pandemic year, right? Some of the […]

Mixed Media Postcards Layers | Process Video Serie...
Since it’s our Anniversary Year, I thought it would be fun to share some more videos of how I created my DIY Postcards this time! I’m editing the footage of my third video (I think there will be four in total) right now and I am hoping to share it soon (it takes so many […]
Sarah’s Juicy Postcard Process
A mixed media process video and some fun mail art inspiration today, I hope you like it. I was thrilled when I saw that one of my long-time participants in the DIY Postcard Swap, Sarah, made a video on how she created her postcards for the last swap! I’ve made several videos myself of my […]
