[quote user="eightlegs"] Me too, what a great idea! And I love the idea of weaving a postcard. (I've always liked weaving, it seems so much easier than knitting/crochet. I did weaving club at middle school on little looms on which we could do simple patterns - still have it somewhere! At school each year one class "weaves" ...

  My latest 'handmades' are some upcycled postage stamp badges: birdies for Project Dissimulation (in support of bowel cancer awareness) and some 1st class stamps - because who doesn't love a bit of first class mail (/male )!  (I'm really sorry; I just can't resist terrible puns...)

Yes, definitely still looking for bird stamps to use in future issues, for badges, and possibly other stampily-crafted items; so just drop me a line if you have anything I can use, please & thank you!

Thank you, on all counts.

I've just learned about a site called Chemo Angels where you can sign up to send cards and/or small gifts on a weekly basis to somebody undergoing chemo (they also have a Senior Angels program).  It's non-reciprocal, just designed to brighten the day of somebody undergoing a difficult time who may or may not have friends and family ...
