Description:

"Seriously" I have been reading magazines and seen all the "fabulous" words in the ads which "inspires" me to think of at least "two exciting ways" to make a couple easy postcards. "Let's get clinical". You "can start with" a background made from patterned paper or a single page from a magazine. Mounted on a sturdy base it "brings clarity. Even some joy" Then using ONLY words you have cut out of the magazine(s) put together a story or a encouraging, "fantastic" bit of positive chatter. Just make something that pushes "the happiness bug" in your soul and send it off. Easy-peasy but it will "make everyone happy" to see your "interior visions". "Which is why an hour of relaxation makes the perfect gift". Now "everybody sing" because I have "a cure for what ails you". If you are wondering- every time I have put words inside of "italics" they are from my magazine. "CAUTION: May be habit forming". I have been cutting words out of magazines for years. If you are in this group you should be great anyways but if someone does get flaked on- let me know if you "need a lift" and I will probably be able to angel this one. Now "farewell, my uglies"- only "giggle" kidding "and the best is yet to come" so ask and "ye shall receive".

The picture side is the cut-out words and the address side just has a normal hand-written note on the left side. . . . is that right?

Missysmom 12/17/2010 #

Yup- just a simple "normal" postcard.

I figured I could assign partners tonight but I guess I have to wait until tomorrow. I am on the west coast so don't get too impatient- I'll see ya in the morning.

Oh hey- it just came up available so I will do it right now. That was weird.

Thanks, @Missysmom Btw, just a li'l grammar nudge, but "they're" not italics! Italics look like this. They're quotation marks, aka speech marks, aka inverted commas. Awww, just helpin where I can. ;)

Oh yeah- I forgot. Thanks actually. I'm getting old and losing my intelligence- scary. LOL

P.S. is this how you make it go to italics? Nope- guess not. I'm not real great with the techie stuff either :)

Oh- it changed it once I hit comment. You can teach an old dog new tricks.
