Woo! I finished crafting a batch of cards! Now I have to finish cutting some random envelopes down to size, address, & stamp!

After i finish my one swap package, i will start on a batch for next month. And maybe get even more addresses to send to! Excited about a new twist on an old craft, for the cards I am sending out. And i have so many ideas for the next batch!

I have a request to make from this group. Most summers, my preschool hosts a Postcard Project. We learn about the Post Office and stamps and blue mail boxes. And we ask the grandparents, cousins, and faraway friends to send us postcards, while we make cards and deliver them to each others’ mail box (lunch bags, a la Valentines Day).

If you can, will you send us a postcard? You can send them to me or the school.

We love map cards, animals, recipes, glamour shots of your town, village, or city, postcards that tell about something special in your area - sand dollars, folklore, history. Any card that is G-rated.

Thanks in advance and I’ll post a photo later in the summer when we get rolling….

I’ll dig around and see if I have any that pertain to our city!
