Ever wonder what to write on the back of a swap postcard?

I struggle with this.

I can have a hard time writing a short note to someone I KNOW, let alone to a yet-to-be-assigned invisible partner.

I end up writing comments about the weather.

seriously.

The weather?

Thankfully, Mary at Uncustomary Art posted a wonderful list of 50 things to tell your penpal on her blog.

here are a few of her ideas:

• people you'd invite to a celebrity dinner
• things you've dressed up as for past Halloweens
• what you'd put in a time capsule

I love this list.

Once in desperation, I wrote a list of the contents of my glove compartment on the back of a postcard.  Mandy later told me it was one of her favorite messages ever.

I for one am going to print out Mary's list and hang it on my bulletin board.

Go check it out for yourself!
