Sharing a Cup of Tea

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

Benevolent Postcard Society.

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

were being creative by making their own postcards,

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.

Then I wrote a cheerful note & mailed it.

I hope Becky from Canada enjoyed the tea!
