Favorite song postcard - part 2

Corrine thinks "Summertime" by George Gershwin (when sung by Sarah Vaughn) is sublime.

She's also mighty fond of "Popsicle Toes" by Michael Franks, and sent this bonus card straight to me! (Thanks Corrine - I love it, and I'm glad my toes feel more like summertime than popsicles at the moment)

Lynn's postcard is a tribute to Peter Gabriel's "In Your Eyes" and it features an awesome quote from the film "Say Anything" on the back. (plus Lynn just started a blog so you should go over and say hello)

and I couldn't resist playing along for this one, with my favorite line from "Conversation 16" by the National.

Favorite Song Postcard - postmark by July 21

create a postcard based on your favorite song. It could include lyrics or images, it could be about how a song makes you feel or the person it makes you think of. Interpretation is loose! any style or medium is acceptable.
Put a stamp on it and write a short message to your partner - include your name and contact information (address and/or email and/or blog) so that you partner can thank you or find out more about you.
leave the address section blank
include a mailing label with your name and address on it (I will stick it on the card I mail back to you. This keeps me from having to decipher handwriting on the envelope you send me, and saves me time when swapping everything and mailing it back out)
put it in an envelope and mail it to me:

             Karen Isaacson
             PO Box 532
             Shrewsbury, MA 01545
             United States

Feel free to make more than one ( you can send them to me in the same envelope). You'll get back the number of postcards you create. Make sure to include a mailing label for each post card you create.
If you live outside the US, don't attach stamps and send me $1 via paypal. email: iamrushmore@gmail.com

Welcome!

The "formal" group-swaps on this site (listed under the ACTIVE GROUP SWAPS tab) are open to everyone. We focus mainly on paper-based swaps with a quick turn around time (such as postcards, ATCs, tags, inchies, etc.). ALL LEVELS OF EXPERIENCE ARE WELCOME. Please do not send suggestive images, nudity; images related to magic, witchcraft, occult, drugs or alcohol; profanity, or partisan political statements in the formal group exchanges, out of consideration for others, especially viewers of various ages who sometimes view our site or participate. The ideologies, viewpoints and beliefs represented by participants' art are not necessarily those of the Blogsite Administrator who retains the right to determine if submitted art is suitable for public viewing.

In order to guarantee that everyone who makes something for a group swap receives something in return, all group swap items are sent to a host who then mails them to others in the swap. There is no required sign-up process. Just mail out your item(s) to the swap host by the date listed for each swap. All currently open group swaps are listed under the "Active Group Swaps" TAB at the top of the Home Page. Select a swap title to see descriptions of the theme or technique challenge for each active group swap. You can scroll down to the bottom of the Homepage and click on OLDER POSTS to see more pictures of mail art received. The "Archived Group Swaps" TAB at the top leads you to descriptions of previous group swaps we have completed.
