At our local art supplies store I spotted a packet of blank watercolor postcards for sale. Instead of purchasing them, I bought a large pad of (deeply discounted) watercolor paper. We traced a 4×6 inch postcard on one sheet and found that we could fit four postcards on each page. Instead of paying $5 for 15 postcards, we can make 120 for approximately they same price.
Does this count as a thrift store score?!
Tracing our postcard template
Erasing the pencil outline of the traced postcard
Using water color pencils and glitter glue to decorate the postcards
Dried and ready to mail
Our daughter has been busily working on making postcards to send to her friends. Whether they make it out of the house and into the mail remains to be seen. I have a feeling they may end up in our pretend post office instead.
Postmaster Leyba has some beautiful, handmade watercolor postcards to deliver!
I would love to be on the receiving end of one of those postcards :-)
I can also say that i would be THRILLED to receive a letter from my friend Miss Leyba! :)

Should you ever find that you are “mailing” a postcard to my household via Miss Leyba’s Pretend Post Office, I will be delighted to receive it in my pretend mailbox at the pretend beautiful house in which I live in my imagination!
