I am sharing the DIY Postcards that I got as a hostess here. Normally you […]

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!
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 […]
DIY Postcard Abundance
Continuing from my blog post One hundred DIY Postcards bound for Sweden, the spring swap started our Anniversary year and in it I got so many beautiful DIY Postcards from participants that wanted to celebrate the fact that I have been hosting the DIY postcard swap (that you can still join today) for over 10 […]
One hundred DIY Postcards bound for Sweden
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 […]

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 […]
Please don’t hesitate: You CAN Create a Postcard
A new friend of mine is joining the DIY Postcard Swap that I host, and I’m thrilled about it. Not for myself, although it always makes me happy to see people I know personally join in – but for her. And for everyone who will get one of her postcards. The world might even be […]
10 Year Anniversary of iHanna’s DIY Postcard Swap
The Postal Service is one of those things that is essential to keep the world from not entirely stopping. So important, that it is kept open even when other things are closed down to hinder the spread of that pesky virus. And Art, it is one of those things that is essential to my own […]
Stay at Home DIY Postcard Backside
Research has shown that the best way to be happy is to make each day happy. Deepak Chopra I will be emphasizing this message on my postcards this year: Stay at home, Wash your hands, Be safe, Make Postcards! I don’t think anyone actually needs to hear it (again), except maybe the two last messages. […]
Mixed Media Painted Postcards
The weather has been very Novembery around here lately. Swedish November is such a sad, sad thing. Yuck! Above no sun or even puffy clouds – only gray, foggy sky all month… The air is damp, the bike is damp, and it gets dark around 4 o’clock in the afternoon. Very dark. So I feel […]
