What a great experience!!! Thank you to Kat for hosting such a heart-warming project. She worked her butt off making this happen! It was so much fun to follow all the postings on facebook and read all the excitment shared literally around the world! I have all six of my cards currently displayed in my inspiration frame! It is an open frame above my art table and I use it to observe things I am working on - or- more often post things that inspire me. These postcards are truly a source of inspiration and encouragement.
1st card I received is a daisy that is photographed in the most incredible lighting! It is from Christina Yates, a photographer in Portland, Oregon. Visiting her website shows her incredible work!
3rd - ALL THE WAY FROM SCOTLAND !!! Is a mixed media piece by Elaine of dreams and whispers! The front says Impossible Dream and on the back a wonderful note! Elaine describes her piece and herself! It really made this card so personal! Her quote to accompany this card, "The only place where your dream becomes impossible is in your own thinking." Robert Schuller. How true!
4th is from Gig Harbor, WA from Judy Shipley - we definitely had a cosmic connection in this swap. Her card is a pic of her grandkids! So incredibly sweet - the quote on the front reads: Children see magic because they look for it!
How wonderful is that to remember day to day!!!
5th and criss-crossing our nation is a card from an artist I admire and who's work is on several of the sites I participate in regularly - Karen Isaacson! It is a vivid mixed media piece that regardless of how I position it looks amazing! I smile each time I look at it! You can visit Karen at http://iamrushmore.blogspot.com to check out her work!!!
And, of course, the card from Kat!!! Such an eye for beauty! I almost feel like I am in this romantic pathway and can smell the flowers.
Once again, HUGE THANKS TO KAT! This is in reality the definition of my signature sign off:
cheers, dana

They are so beautiful, I love that you've hung them in an inspiration frame...I think I'll have to do the same and put them in my study. Loved the swap so much, can't wait for next year!
Displaying your cards in a frame looks beautiful. This was so much fun, glad you participated too!
Great idea to keep your p/c in an open frame - and you got some beauties!
Aren't they beautiful?!!! I like how you have them framed.

What a great idea to frame them that way. Wasn't the swap fun? After the first one appeared, I was anxious for the rest to come. It was exciting to open the mailbox and find a new one.
I love how you framed your postcards! I'm sure I have a spare frame somewhere.... what a great idea!
I hope I get one of your cards next year!
Wish I had thought to put them in a single frame like that... wait a minute I still can!!!! thanks for the idea... see you later at PPF...xx
