I have just signed up for iHanna’s Post Card swap again. We each make 10 postcards for the beginning of May, to send on a particular date, and Hanna gives us 10 addresses from all over the world, so we all get 10 handmade pieces of art back. It is great fun.
The photo above is of a Post Card I sent a couple of years ago. If you put ‘Post Card Swap’ in the SEARCH box you will see my entries for other years.
Miss E absolutely loves to see all the cards coming in from different countries, and this year we will both make the cards together.
I could not copy Hanna’s email exactly, with all her amazing graphics but here is the essence of it.
Hi from Sweden! This is your invitation to join my PARTY – read on!

The DIY Postcard Swap
I’ve hosted this fun & big online party twice each year for many years now. The party starts online, but carries into the Real World and spreads a lot of happiness and joy to the homes of hundreds of people… I’d love if you could join us.
“The party” is what I’m calling my lovely brain child the DIY Postcard Swap this year. Many of you subscribe every time I host it so you might already know that you get to create 10 postcards and receive 10 postcards back from 10 other people around the world! It’s global, it’s fun and it’s easy to sign up.
All you need to do is read the rules and then decide if this is something that you’d like to do. Your postcards doesn’t have to be finished until the end of April, so you’ve got plenty of time. Sign up now:

Sounds more fun than the old chain letters that used to circulate with dire threats if you didn’t respond!

Oh yes, those awful things! They still happen on Facebook sometimes.
The Post Card Swap is really NOTHING like that! Sharing creativity across the world feels like a step in the right direction creating positive ripples in the pond.

It really is great, I put my favourites up on the wall, and have a stack of cards in a box which I reuse for cards to friends.

What a wonderful idea! I’m a bit too tied up with writing and other commitments at the moment, but may be next year.

It really is a great idea Kim. My granddaughter and I get such a kick out of seeing all the beautiful little pieces of handmade art arrive through the letter box. Hanna usually does a swap in the Autumn as well, so you could give that a thought.
