Swap - Cork Card

Arlene was melting in a heatwave so she did what any of us would do... made a postcard and had a contest on Facebook!  How cool is this handstamped cork postcard she sent me?  The backside is equally cool because it is nicely decorated and includes a personalized postage stamp featuring a picture of her and her husband.  Awesome! Thank you, Arlene!

Swap - Recycled Stamps

Winkey offered this up on Facebook so we arranged a trade.  She sent me this amazing card she made with used stamps.  It is so much fun!  I believe I sent her some boring old Ottawa card in exchange.   I really feel I got the better end of this trade.  Thank you Winkey!
