Oh, how I love stamps! I forget this until the Liberate Your Art Postcard Swap envelopes come rolling in, and I get to see these awesome postage stamps from all over the world. They are an art unto them selves. Like last year, I will soak them off and save them for future use. I have no idea what use, but I will come up with something!
After a week away, I received a big stack of envelopes for the swap when I picked up my mail yesterday. So much fun! So many stamps!! Right now there are 273 artists signed up for the swap, so there will be many more envelopes coming in over the next few weeks. So much art to be liberated into the world! Awesome!!! Sign up is open until July 15, so there is still time to join in or to share the swap with your artist friends. It’s been great to see the chatter in the Facebook group about people ordering, receiving and sending their postcards. Join us there too!
I’m also surprised when I receive little notes of encouragement and fun for me along with the envelopes. I don’t expect that! I receive two postcards addressed to me along with the stack of envelopes. Thanks Katie and Linda!
And today’s mail art comes from Nora Clemens-Gallo. I didn’t want to ruin this envelope by opening it! Thanks Nora, for the extra art liberated!
I had a goose bumps reading this Kat. Six of this postcards will be mine soon and I can’t wait I’d tell you it is part of my dreams at night hahahaha. My first time to join the postcard swap and it is fun got hold of my order today and I can’t wait to send this to you. I had to find your address and read the remaining instructions I just get excited and overwhelmed! ^_^
By the way, I like how MOO.com printed my photo it is clear and really good. I will definitely order more from them. Thanks for the opportunity to be called one of the “artist” hehe it feels good!

I see my envelope (and another from Australia) there Kat…glad it got there safely It must seem like Christmas to you.
Yep, you are there! It’s so much fun to get all of these envelopes.
Ms Kat, kindly send me the address for mailing I deleted the email you sent me. ^_^ Thanks!
The next swap update will be emailed on Monday – you’ll find it in that message.
I’m just packing mine up!
YAY! I can’t wait to see what art you’ve chosen this year. I can still see your beautiful woman from last year in my mind’s eye!
Wow, I really need to get going on this! I’m still hunting through boxes for things, but that’s no excuse. I have to stop and get focused on this project.
You don’t even need to hunt through boxes Lee! Just your computer. 🙂 It doesn’t take long to order the postcards. Good luck with the unpacking!
Love seeing the mail pouring in to you! I got mine sent off in the mail to you today and can’t wait to see what returns… is it August yet?!!!
I have to say it was pretty neat to see my art printed on postcards… a first, but hopefully not last effort 🙂
Awesome – that’s the idea, to see how cool it is to have your work in print!! I’m glad you enjoyed it!
So exciting to see so many envelopes from Australia. Waiting, waiting.
I LOVE the koala stamp! am sending my cards out today – it will come with a Queens Jubilee stamp!
