TRAVELS BY POSTCARD 
March 1, 2012 

 "Inhale art...Exhale art...every day!" 

I've been catching up... visiting countries and creating a relationship between two young men... via postcards...that will continue for 52 weeks! It's for Darcy Wilkinson's POSTCARD CHALLENGE 2012.  I completed several of the required countries last week, and finished the rest just yesterday. The story between the two young men continues as well...both are travelers. One travels for the Peace Corps (Jarrod- from New York) and one just for fun (Bahati- from a small tribal village in Ethiopia) ...to see the world.  I've included the postcards we were asked to do as well as the messages... 

From CHINA: 
  From FRANCE: 
From BELGIUM: 
 From WALES:
 ...And for THIS week, SWITZERLAND:
I'm curious as to what will be the next country to which we'll be asked to journey... tune in for the next posting! These virtual journeys are so much fun and tremendous learning experiences. Michael and I have traveled to many of the places thus far, so I've used my own photos...

My regular weekly blog challenges continue...I've managed to put up a few:
CREAVIL Challenge Blog wanted to see COLORS...
SO ARTFUL Challenges rang the bell for Tea Time...
Finally, THINK MONDAY-THINK ATC was interested in doors...always a favorite subject of mine for art!
It's been an artful week for me...and I've loved every minute of it!! I hope you're well and will join me for some virtual postcard traveling next week... Happy Weekend!


Hugs,
