I’m dropping by today to encourage you to participate in the Liberate Your Art and/or Love Notes. The signup deadlines are upon us.
Are you a “closet” artist who’s a little timid about sharing your art with the world? Do you have thousands of photos sitting on your hard drive, in your camera, or in the cloud? Dozens of drawings, sketches, illustrations, paintings, carvings, or sculptures? Have you crafted beautiful scarves or dresses.? Do you use calligraphy to write poems or quotes? If you create anything, Liberate Your Art is your swap, and it’s time to share your art with the world.
Participation is easy-peasy. You select one to five (1-5) pieces of art, make postcard reproductions, and send the postcards along with address labels and postage stamps to Kat Sloma, the swap founder and coordinator. She organizes the postcards and “sends them out into the world.” You will receive six (6) pieces of art in return–one from Kat.
You can find all the details by clicking the image below:
And if you’re interested in seeing art I received and sent from past swaps, click here: LYA on Pics and Posts.

So art’s not your thing, but you want to get in on the snail mail love? Try Love Notes. Also easy. You write three postcards (or note cards) to one partner over a three week period–in response to a prompt. Cards may be purchased or handmade. The idea is to connect with another person through writing and spread love via snail mail.
Click the link below for more details and to sign up! The first round of 2018 starts January 14, so act quickly!
You can check out some of the Love Notes exchanges I’ve participated in by clicking here: Love Notes on Pics and Posts.
I participate in both. In fact, a LYA participant introduced me to Love Notes. Should you decide to participate, you will find wonderful communities of beautiful souls and (should you choose) your relationships will extend beyond the yearly (LYA) and quarterly (LN) swaps.
If you have any questions about either swap, please feel free to contact me using the contact form at the bottom of the “A Little About Me” page.
I highly recommend MOO for getting postcards printed. If you’d like to order from MOO, use my referral link and you can save 20% and I can earn moo bucks. [Note: I’m not paid to advertise MOO. I’ve been using moo for 5+ years. They do great work and have excellent customer service. Also, I get to “moo” without being looked at strangely].
