I think they turned out nicely! (minus the fact that they are all slightly crooked! I can’t cut in a straight line, but it gives them character.)

Pardon the grainy photos, I took these on my phone a few minutes before meeting her to hand them over.

 

Good luck at the conference friend!

xoxo

My goal is to create one a week and to send them to people.

Here are the first couple…

If you want a postcard, email me your address and perhaps you’ll receive some greetings from New York!

Since love (and life) can be confusing (hard, frustrating, irritating) at times, I find that being creative is my only constant and it usually brings me back to clarity (happiness, serenity).

This weekend I worked on collages with the photos from Key West. I started off with many layers of paper, photos, modge podge and painted on some watercolor paper. It sort of looks like a tornado went through here, but I am pretty happy with how they are turning out!

What do you think?

Either way, I’m having fun! :) And looking at the photos definitely made me miss Key West and the sunshine! I think it’s time to taking the vitamin d!

Hope you all had a great weekend! :)
