I am happy to report that I have been keeping up with writing a poem on world peace each day this month and mailing it out on a postcard to another participating poet. I used up my first batch of postcards and have had to print a second.

Mailing My First World Peace Poets’ Postcard
Printing Postcards for Peace
In preparation for my participation in the World Peace Poets Postcard Project, I am working on making enough postcards to send out one card every day in February. Each postcard will contain an original short poem. I am looking forward to a month of receiving meaningful mail in return.
Block for World Peace Poets Postcard Project
I finished carving the block to make the postcards I will be sending out each day in February as a part of the World Peace Poets Postcard Project.
I will write a short poem about peace each day in February and send it out to one of the other members in my group.
I am looking forward to receiving cards back from other poets across the country.
Making your own postcard is optional.
Winter-themed Stationary
I am working on creating some wintertime stationary with a couple of snowflakes.
Mailing Our Last Christmas Cards for 2021
This is the last of over eighty Christmas cards my family has made and sent this year. My wife made the first half of them with her mother by embossing vellum. Looks like we should get an earlier start next year!
Going Green
I made a few more cards tonight. I tried green ink instead of red. I think I like the red ones the best. 
I used a printing baren and a wooden spoon yesterday to press the paper on the block, forgetting I had a Speedball Model B press. I found the press much more consistent and less messy.
