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.
Mail Art Opportunity
Here’s another great opportunity that I serendipitously found. I didn’t know about mail art as a form before today, but I am exited to create some, especially about some of my favorite pastimes: letters, books, and reading.
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!

A fresh piece of okra and some craft paint can create festive holiday cards.






Vegetable stamping is a great craft for kids and adults.
