New Members Of The Pacific Postcards Team - Series 31

A quick team update:  I had planned on creating a newsletter that would start on July 1, 2013, unfortunately due to a series of events that has had to be delayed until sometime in Septmber.  The good news is that it will give people who would like to advertise their shops, post announcements or be featured a chance to email me with their information. Any question please email me those also.

I would like to wish everyone a very Blessed and Safe July 4th.

A heartfelt welcome to our newest members to the Pacific Postcards Team.  Thank you for joining our fun little group.

"I began making collages as a sort of art therapy years ago during treatment for breast cancer. I am now cancer-free, but I still love to make the art. I can lose myself in it for hours. It combines my love of modern art and inspiration from museums with my past work as a painter and quilter. My weird sense of humor and knowledge of world religions often shows in the art. Learning to see beauty in so many ways brings joy to my life." ~Ellen Johnson
