so close



the postcards are finally (FINALLY) finished and I am currently busy writing messages on the flip sides. each person shall receive a lovely cryptic summer poem which, if properly decoded, will reveal the secret to life.

um, just kidding. but wouldn't that be nice?





though it's a great relief to finally be writing messages and addresses-- a stage in the process I thought I'd NEVER reach. I so totally underestimated how long it would take me to make 77 postcards. if there was a cape of shame for this sort of thing, I would be wearing it. live and learn, I say. live and learn.



in the meantime, I've been receiving postcards most everyday and The Wall of Summer is growing exponentially. happy blocks of color have taken up residence on the green wall in the kitchen. it's like my very own private miniature art installation and I do so solemnly swear to share more photographs of the happy wall. until then, this lil peek will have to suffice. you can make it, can't you? it's a lovely, lovely sight. it will be worth the wait, I promise.

    just stumbled upon your page and can sympathize with all the change of address mailing. it took me 18 months after moving to notify everyone by which time i'd had a baby. so changes of address also were baby announcements. your notices all look handmade, very sweet!

    Still amazed that you did 77. You know you can be as late as you want and everyone will still be happy, though, right? Can't wait to see more of that wall. Great idea.

    Oh! I see mine on that gorgeous wall! How thrilling! I'm pretty amazed that you did 77, too. I had to push myself to get out 12.
