LYA Side Swaps 2017

When I decided to join the Liberate Your Art Postcard Swap I had no plans to do any side swaps. However, I had a couple of people request a side swap and then, out of the blue, I got a card from a blogging friend Sheila Delgado.
I have been following Sheila's blog for a while and this has always been one of my favourite images. Sheila's Blog

At any rate, I decided that I would do 5 more cards and in the last few days I have received two cards from side swaps.

 This card came all the way to Wynndel BC Canada (via Porthill, Idaho) from Louise Mammet in France. This photo does not do the card justice unfortunately because the colours and the texture are really super.

This burst of colour is from Patsy Lawrence in Murfreesboro, TN. A fascinating mixed media piece done in an altered photography book - so very cool!

It has been so much fun getting 'happy' mail and I can't wait to see what the next trip to the post office brings.

      Hi Sheila. You are welcome for the link sharing. Your postcard is displayed beside some Grape Hyacinth - one of the first blooms to appear in my garden. I am glad I decided to side swap too. Thanks again for your card.

      I is fun Cathy but I think with the side swaps we have to be careful- things could get pretty expensive. Have a great day.

    This experience has to just be so much fun and it is so positive in this world of uncertainty. So glad some are spreading the joy.
