Spring Break Tuesday - Part One


I am on spring break at the university where I work and the inspiration is just pouring from my fingertips. I just finished an altered postcard for a young woman in Finland whom I received a postcard from via postcrossing. If you are not familiar with postcrossing, check it out at www.postcrossing.com. I have received postcards and sent postcards to like-minded people all over the world.

This particular altered postcard was inspired by a most unusual card I received from Anni, a 20 year old journalism student. She sent me an oversized postcard and included a message of an accounting of her day. I was so touched by this glimpse of her daily life that I instantly started working on a postcard to send back to her that includes elements of her fun day.

This is all so interesting Annie. I've never been to a blog before (I'm embarrassed to say) and I look forward to reading yours and contemplating one myself...you are truly a multifaceted woman and I still can't believe how we met those years ago...
