Hi everyone!
I am back hosting this swap; many thanks to Judith for filling in for me!
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY
For this swap, we will create a positive-themed notecard cover or postcard with found word art turned into prose, write a little note, and mail it off to our partner.
There’s two basic ways you can do this. First way would be to find a page out of a magazine/book/lengthy page of junk mail, find a good section within it, circle/box around/highlight individual words or short phrases to create your prose, and then black out all of the words you did not choose. This way is difficult, but very satisfying if you can do it.
The second way you could do this would be to cut out individual words or short phrases from the pages of magazines, books, junk mail, boxed food packages, etc. and string them together to make short prose. If you cannot find a key word you are needing, you could cut out individual letters to make your word.
No worries about perfect grammar or even making perfect sense, we are creating art with what we find, that’s the beauty of it all. Let’s have fun!
Feel free to further decorate your card or postcard however you like.
NO TUCKS in this swap, please. We’re keeping it simple. Thank you!
Sign-ups will be until Aug. 31, partners posted Sept. 1ish. Please contact your partner for their address. Let’s mail out our cards/postcards by Sept. 15.
Here’s your PARTNERS, ladies!
Dianna mails to Jami
Jami mails to Marilyn
Marilyn mails to Marie
Marie mails to Judith
Judith mails to Dianna
Have fun creating and swapping!

Thank you Dianna. I was a little iffy on the drawing and the drafting. The story I have converted into a narrative poem and may use it as a story hook in some D&D game.

Marie -- it finally arrived! I absolutely love your creativity, both the artwork and the story. Amazing!
 and the reverse sides:
Thank you. I like linden tea, too. I love when the linden trees bloom in the spring; they smell so good.

Koda and Cassie probably smell a cat or two; maybe three. They like to help.

Judith, I'm grateful, healing is slow and painful but it IS getting better, especially considering it was literally shattered! I'm so grateful!!!! Hey, btw, BOTH my critters, Koda and Cassie are sniffing the envelope like crazy!!! Were you making bacon or something?? Lol!!
Praying your back is doing much much better!!!

No worries Dianna! What with Sally and all I wasn't even sure the mail had got to you yet. I hope your road gets fixed soon. How's the wrist healing?

JUDITH!
Please forgive me for not posting sooner!! I'd forgotten that I had mail in our truck because I havent been able to drive it put of our road since Sally! I'd been driving the smaller car because most of our county road got washed out and there is enough room to squeeze a small vehicle through until it gets repaired. I went put this morning to look for some wrist bands that got sent to me and I couldnt find them. Your word art and the wrist bands were in the truck! :0. Shame on me!
I do so LOVE the ' paper weaving' and the words! Makes me smile hugely, PLUS love that postcard with fall colors AND KITTENS-squeal!!! Thank you Judith so much! I'm sorry!!

What I sent Jami. I think the magazine page was out of a gardening magazine. It was fun to find a nature type poem! I really love this swap!

Marie...that is so sad to have to say goodbye to a pet. When I had to take Cookie our pound kitty to have her put Down...it wss the hardest thing I've done. Prayers that your heart will mend quickly. God bless you.
