Ever feel compelled to do something?
It amazes me how many times I feel the need to do something. Occasionally I act on these feelings, sometimes I ignore them and most of the time I don’t even acknowledge them {pity} .
While working on my swap postcards, I go with my gut on what to add. The words, extras, colors… I’m never sure what direction they will take and I just let my creativity go. While I was working on a particular postcard, I thought it would really work well if the heart had wings. No clue where that came from, but I ignored it and considered the card “complete” without the wings.
After I had mailed all of my postcards, I had one leftover. While addressing a card to Joy, I realize that I had 2 cards with “JOY” on the front. It was ironic, so I couldn’t send her the one I was addressing, I HAD to send her a JOY card – but that’s ok, cause I get to keep the other one. My daughter got her favorite card with a special message added to celebrate an excellent ACT score.
On my last blog post, I got a comment that was kind, sweet and a wish that they would get one of my postcards. She was not on my list, so I contacted her for an address to send a postcard. Lisa’s site is called SPROUTING CREATIVE WINGS, so I added the wings to my leftover card and went to the post office for a stamp. I’m so glad I did! It felt right. Here is the final card
Now I think it is finally complete and on it’s way to another country.
Funny thing – – – I wrote this months ago and forgot to click PUBLISH. Maybe I wasn’t supposed to post it until today?!?!?!
