On new notebooks, journaling and happy mail

iHanna's DIY Postcard Swap is ON + links to 8 blog posts you should read

Hi friend!

Since I have been lax in sending out this my unpolished and not very loved Studio iHanna Newsletter this entire summer, but a wee bit better at blogging at www.ihanna.nu, today’s newsletter is just a bit of an update on things I’ve shared on the blog.

But first, in case you have missed it:

The DIY Postcard Swap fall 2024 is open. You can read all about it on the blog and maybe even join us today!

You get the best mail in my swaps for sure, image from this blog post.

If you are not a regular reader of my blog, you might have missed the blog posts below. That’s why I’m sending them to you today. They’re about some of my creative adventures from the past months and I hope you’ll find them inspiring and entertaining.

How about we swatch some watercolors for example... Set up a new-to-me notebook (oh the joy of new notebooks, right?). Visit a Swedish flea market and feel a bit nostalgic about what one can find there… Yes, let’s do that!

Feel free to click on over, read a few or all of these blog posts, maybe take the time this weekend to watch the videos I share and then leave a comment. In any case, talk soon.
