WOYWW 876/97/ The Totally Inappropriate Postcard Club/Dana

Just returned from a silent retreat.
I had my phone turned off for almost 10 days! 
Desk in  a state of anticipation!
By way of thank you's I invited folks who helped and hosted me to membership in the
Totally Inappropriate Postcard Club.
To be a member all you have to do is receive or send a TIP, what ever that means to you.
Teachers at the retreat give of their time and wisdom, and student give as led, in generosity,
aka DANA.
I shared these cards, and a check!
Vintage hand lettered stamp by Suzanne Cannon. 
Check out her FB page here for inspiration and support.
I enjoy and benefit from my solitary prayer and meditation, 
and there is something special and more powerful and essential to holding the entire world 
and all beings in light and love  together.
We do that too, here, dear Deskers.
In our own creative digital way, this is what Peace looks like.
Thanks for sharing your worlds and for visiting mine.
Comments and questions warmly welcomed.

I LOVE the idea of a TIP!! What a great thing to do, the small size of the project means it’s not overwhelming, I really hope you’ve enjoyed being part of the community 🥰🥰 Glad you enjoyed the retreat too, it sounds so peaceful and a good way to recharge your batteries xxx

I looked, but couldn’t find the TIP club. Is it on Facebook or Instagram? The name itself is intriguing , the search came up with “Dirty Postcards”. There were a lot of smutty postcards in holiday destinations in the 60’s I think. I like doing the Index card a day challenge which is a similar size. A retreat sounds a wondetidea, glad you enjoyed it. Hugs Angela #13

I just made it up! all you do is send a TIP to someone, and invite them to do the same!

Hi Robyn, nice to see you. It sounds like you've been busy, how did we ever mananage without your phone, switching them off for so long in even a few hours feels difficult. Wishing you a happy woyww, Angela x9x

Wow, I can't imagine going 10 days without my phone - and silent as well? Good for you! I love the dragonfly and the yoga cards, beautiful! I've "known" Suzanne Cannon since I started stamping about 35 years ago! I have a few of her stamps. We used to do a lot of Round Robins back in the days. Have a Great week🌸Lindart #14

Happy (late, but not too late!) WOYWW! LOL! I bet I am already in the TIP, if all that is needed is to send (or receive) an inappropriate postcard! The idea of 10 days of no phones and quiet thoughts sounds like bliss. I love your Peace cards. Beautiful.
