postcard swap at hula seventy

i so enjoy postcards and frequently consider them little works of art worthy of framing and hanging on walls. if you do too then check this out: andrea over at the most excellent hula seventy is holding her 2nd annual postcard swap. i am so tempted to participate in this — what fun! basically it works like the ornament swap: leave a comment here by june 15th to get on the list. when all the names are collected you will receive an email with instructions and the names and addresses of your swappees. then, create your cards and send them off, and sit back and enjoy the summer while your group sends you their cards in return!

oh who am i kidding i totally signed up for it before i finished writing this post. yay! now you do it too! remember to put your name on the list by june 15th.

holiday ornament swap - outbound

hurrah! this past weekend my ornament for the swap was released into the universe! i went around town and took photos of old neon signs and altered the colors digitally, to create a laminated two sided piece that spells out the sentiment of the season. when you hang it, it’s free to spin and spell the word out in assorted color combinations.

i’m pretty happy with the way they turned out - i just hope all my swappers like them!
