Your comment was stuck in my spam folder! You are SAFE now! Tell me about it, Robin! I hear ya!! That is good, Britni. I always forget to send the postcards I buy for ppl, unless I have a gap of time when I can sit and write them! I agree Rhea. I always TRY to send at least one to my family, and one to P's dad. Of course, I usually beat the postcards home! That is a great, unique idea Amyemilia! I am going to try that next time! Love it!! I didn't get the canon, J. I got a Sony DSC-55 (or some number like that!) lol. I like it, but I still need to read the booklet to get the best shots! Thank you, Daija. Your comment was stuck in my spam folder!

Create a collage of found papers. Examples might include tickets, candy wrappers, receipts, maybe even a leaf or pressed flower (I have made a habit to press leaves and flowers in my little Moleskin book.) Arrange these objects face-side down on the sticky side of wide clear packing tape - you will have to bring some from home probably, but it is cheap and easy to carry. Run two courses of tape on your postcard, trim, and address. These are unique souveniers for the people who receive them, and they are fun to make at the end of the day when you are resting your feet. You can also draw but I'm very drawing-challenged. If I sent a drawn post card I doubt anyone would know what I was portraying! Another similar idea – buy blank postcards. Create a collage of found papers.

They're a cheap and easy way to tell someone you're thinking about them even if you do make them slightly jealous.
