Post Cards by Marisa Sidles
 
Marisa has come up with 2 fun art projects that will take only 5 minutes: spoon pendants and create your own postcards. 
 
For $10 you can stamp your own name, birth date, poem or whatever you wish on a spoon that has been made into a pendant for you, creating a personalized necklace or a key chain. For only $2 you can create your own postcard. Marisa will have blank postcards ready for you to put your original design on. She will then mail them for you from the local Terril Post Office to anywhere in the United States. You can even send them home so you have a memento from your ride. 

"I invite you to take a break and get creative," said Marisa. mreynolds@terril.net • 712-363-1307
