I joined a Tiny Scraps Postcard Swap on Swapbot the other day and had so much fun making these postcards that I just kept on going. I only have to make 3, but what a clever way to use my little scraps of paper. Some of them are just the little thing long pieces that I have trimmed off of my papers and others are scraps that I just cut into little squares. I stitched on them after glueing the pieces on.
Yesterday Mallory and I made some homemade paper. The kids love to join in on the blending and mixing up the pulp with their hands. Mallory was noticing the difference in the fibers after we blended them up yesterday.
This is Jake, Anthony and Lexie on a Water Taxi in Chicago. My sister Cathy and her family took them out for the day last Sunday to see Chicago.

Very clever idea!! Love the homemade paper too :)
Have a great Thursday :)
I've been meaning to look up "homemade" paper. The kids saw some being made in the museum this summer. Looks "do-able" with the kids. I think you need a screen for keeping the paper together while they blot out the excess water. Lisa
By the way, I made your blog a link from mine. Hope that is ok.
Love, Lisa
you are so resourceful sherry! your paper looks great!
Those little postcards turned out cute. I can see how they'd be addictive to make!
You always amaze me with your creativity Sherry. I love the postcards. This would be a great idea for a Christmas gift. :)
That's so cool that Mallory will do things like making paper with you. I hope my girls will do that with me too! Man, you are so busy!
