Summer Postcard Exchange
Have you sent at least three cards to your Secret Postcard Pal? If not, better hurry! Don't forget to send a final card to let your pal know (or help them guess) who you are!
Bring the cards you received to the September meeting for the display table, and meet up with your Secret Pals, the one you sent to and the one you received cards from. We'll also have "sharing time" during the meeting so others can hear about the fun we had.
See you there! Sue Agnew

After-meeting Postcard Contest Salon - FREE
You're invited! 12:30 - 2:30 pm. Mabel Dean has put together a fascinating salon to help you design your PW 15th Anniversary Postal Contest entries. Featuring multiple handouts and quick 'n' easy walk-through of trace-cut-paste. You'll walk out with the tools you need to create a postmark design. In addition you'll get ideas for creating a simple image for the postage stamp and for the cachet. What to bring: scissors, gluestick, pencil, ruler, eraser.
A summer dry-run to perfect the techniques garnered these testimonials:
"Mabel's salon is a great way to jump-start ideas for new designs, and is especially helpful for creating ideas for the call to artists for our PaperWorks commemorative stamp! I had been feeling overwhelmed by the size of the project, with its three different components. This salon helped simplify the entire process, and offered ways to proceed that seemed logical and do-able for me! Try it and find out for yourself!" Mary Ellen Palmeri
"Thanks to Mabel's insight and examples I now have a clearer idea of this project. Please consider attending her workshop on Sept. 10." Carol Morgan

We've listened to your suggestions and done lots of planning during spring and summer, and a full array of Workshops and Paper Play information will be posted shortly. The PW Board is excited about the breadth and depth of artists, our own members and other local and visiting artists - all are ready to inspire you through small-group experiences and guidance. Check the website after the middle of September for updated information.
