At the start of every month, I have the pleasure
of sending out a postcard to somebody I haven't met,
sometimes from across the world.
In the same month, I find a postcard in my mail box, too!
It's always a pleasant surprise.
It's a commitment we've made as members of the
When we started out last September, I would send out
postcards from my collection that I bought from
different trips. But when I saw how some members
I had to step up my game!
I wasn't being competitive.
It was a great excuse to do some blah to TADA!
Here's one of the postcards that I made:

Blah: a gift card envelope from Crate & Barrel.

Blah because it's now empty.
I've maxed out the gift card to get this!
Not wanting to waste the envelope, I gave it
a little make-over.

TADA! I spruced it up with felt & embroidery.

And I enclosed a few tea bags.
