National Blog Posting Month – Day 20 – Fun Art Exchanges!

Listen to the post read by Eliza from Revoicer.

I wrote the past 19 posts for National Blog Posting Month (NaBloPoMo) on Substack, and now I’m back to finish out the month here on my home-sweet-home little blog.

Today, I want to tell you about my fun project with The Maker Beehive, which is an online art-making group. One of their wonderful features is a monthly Artist Trading Card (ATC) swap. This month, we made snowman cards. Members can watch a live class to get ideas and techniques. I used my preferred method of markers, colored pencils, and a fineliner pen.

Eight colorful artist trading cards featuring snowmen in different outfits and accessories, each card adorned with a colorful border and the word 'HELLO!'

I mailed them to my assigned recipients, and I’m eagerly awaiting the cards they’ll send in return.

I have also signed up for iHanna’s DIY postcard swap. The deadline to sign up is November 24, if that sounds like fun to you! I love these kinds of random exchanges!

I’ve signed up for San’s Secret SANta gift exchange as well! Sign up closes today at 11:59 pm PST.

Which snowman is your favorite?

  1. Well, this answers my question- I missed 19 posts!! OMG, I am so sorry!

    I love all of the snowmen, but if I had to pick one, it would be the one with purple and yellow stripes! I love the color purple, and purple and yellow were my high school colors!

    I’m so glad you’re back at WP! 💜

    1. Kari, purple and yellow were my high school colors too!

      No big deal about missing those posts. I was trying out Substack, which was good, but it wasn’t “home” if that makes any sense!

  2. Of course I love them all, but especially the summer snowman with the hat and sunglasses. So cutely silly!

  3. Hi Michelle! I have missed seeing your cheerful drawings! I NEED this at this dark time of year! Lol! (I am about to launch my Annual Card endeavor…. it takes weeks to complete…) I decidedly like your Snowomen best, and the one with pink roses in her hat is right up my alley! It’s the pink and roses and the idea of such summer feelings in winter that tickle my fancy! :):) Keep up the wonderful work! :):)

  4. Yay! 😀
    I used to do ATC swaps years ago, and they were so much fun!
    I am in love with the bottom left snowlady and her pink rose-festooned hat!

    1. Thank you so much, Rebecca! The swaps are really fun, and I love both the making and the receiving. I just got one in the mail today and it was so delightful!

  5. Those snowman cards are so fun! I love the one with the gloves 🙂

    I love that you’re participating in all the holiday events 🙂

  6. I love the blue one… obviously. Ha.
    Hanna’s Swap sounds fun but it is just not the right timing for me.
    This November is being stressful and I am surprised I actually managed to blog daily.
    I signed up for the Secret Santa Swap of course.

    1. Tobia, I had a bunch of postcards already made from earlier this year, so I didn’t have to do any extra work for the postcard swap. I signed up for Secret Santa too!

I'd love it if you leave a comment!
