This year, I resolved to find more writing\/creativity projects like this. This one was a success for me. (If anyone has suggestions for other projects like this, post a comment.)<\/li>\n<li>I found a service for printing cards called <a href=\"https:\/\/www.moo.com\/us\/\">MOO<\/a>, which is very cost effective for single prints. I&#8217;ve used this service now for other things and will continue to do so. (I&#8217;ve even started selling postcards at our local farmers market.)<\/li>\n<li>My postcards focused on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fasimpaur.com\/index.php\/2016\/02\/21\/food-as-art\/\">Food as Art<\/a>. As some of you may know, I&#8217;m obsessed with food and thinking about food as art was a new approach for me, a new step in my &#8220;creative journey&#8221; if you will. (I&#8217;m still thinking about ways I can merge my love for food with something that supports me. This project encouraged me to think more broadly about this.)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>And of course, I now have some new postcards to send to other family and friends.<\/p>\n<p><!-- start InLinkz script --><\/p>\n<div id=\"623280\" class=\"InLinkzContainer\"><a title=\"click to view in an external page.\" href=\"http:\/\/www.inlinkz.com\/new\/view.php?id=623280\" rel=\"nofollow\">An InLinkz Link-up<\/a><\/div>\n<p><script src=\"\/\/static.inlinkz.com\/cs2.js?v=116\" type=\"text\/javascript\"><\/script><br \/>\n<!-- end InLinkz script --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This year I participated in the &#8220;Liberate Your Art Postcard Swap.&#8221; It&#8217;s a great project that involves making postcards of your &#8220;art&#8221; and the exchanging them with others.
