so one of the more interactive aspects of Project Spectrum is the postcard swap. if you want to play, each month, lolly will match you up with someone and then you make a postcard and they make a postcard and you exchange them. the one rule is that it has to be in the color of the month.
so for march, i was paired with lovely leah of use your hands. leah is wonderfully creative -- she has her own etsy shop that she shares with her husband -- and is of course too cute, with the flirty pink skirts and the general youthfulness and everything (i'm such a wordsmith). just go look at her! what is really cool though is that she and her issac and me and my j were married on the same exact day. october 25, 2003! hey we both thought that was very cool.
anyway, here's the postcard i received today! isn't it cool? i love mail (and clearly the word, cool).
there's all sorts of fun stuff going on. i love the polka dot print with the yellow. and she's got two embroidered/appliqued motifs -- one in felt, another in felt and another cute polka dot fabric (is that from your new skirt?) and my name in silver... everyone should have their name in silver. thanks leah!
and here's a peek at the postcard i sent her... just a peek. 
Quite delightfully pink.

Those are both amazingly cute! I wish I'd joined Project Spectrum, but I know I'd have problems sticking to the colors....

They both cheerfully remind me of the cut-out things I made with construction paper in elementary school. Very, very cute. It goes with the potholder, no?

I'm totally blushing Maryse!! Thanks so much for the kind words! I'm so thrilled to know it arrived alright and that you like it.
Yes, the red polka dot fabric is from my new skirt. I thought it would be cool to incorporate it!
Oh & what a tease!! I can't wait til it arrives!

Look at all that great red and pink! I can't wait to see more of your postcard :-)

Ok, that is a seriously COOL piece of art disguised as a postcard. And I like the peek of the one you sent her - I'll look forward to reading about it arriving there...
