This week, I told you about the Benevolent Postcard Society. Even if you aren't a member, I hope it inspires you to write a postcard on your next holiday or make one for a friend's birthday.
Next week, it will be August and I'll be mailing another postcard. I wonder who it'll be for? But I'm not wondering what postcard I'll be sending out. Wanna see?

Remember this box I made a few weeks ago?
I'm putting my postcard inside!
"What postcard requires a box?", you say?
Well, this one's three-dimensional!

Blah: an empty decorative tin that
used to hold a jar of the most luscious
dulce de leche from Argentina.
It's so cute, I had to find a new use for it!

You can open it two ways.

I printed out a blank vintage postcard.

Then removed the original label from the can
and replaced it with the postcard.
{I'll attach the real one with a more personal
message once I get my pen pal's name}
And I just had to tuck a gift inside:

Tada!: A set of jacks!

Enclosed also are the instructions on
how to play jacks... to refresh her memory
or to teach her how to play if it wasn't
a childhood game for her.
