Yesterday, I sat down with my idea book and planned out my story.
I have my characters names, addresses, professions and a rough outline of how I intend for the book of postcards to come together.
Of course, this morning I had a few different ideas about the eventual book will unfold but that's ok.
The first week's country was Austria. I decided to use a countryside setting for my postcard.
Pretty simple watercolor painting. Hopefully my skill will improve over time.
On the back Maggie writes her first note to Thadeus.
I didn't have any stamps from Austria nor did I take the time to download any collage sheets.
I took a National Wildlife Federation sticker and cut it down to serve as my stamp.
Works for me.

I love that you are doing that challenge . I was very tempted but I decided to use that energy for a couple other projects. I look forward to watching you.
Hi, I like the ideals in your profile. I wonder what she will learn next week?...... I keep raiding google images for stamps :)
I like the simplicty and peacefulness of your card. Wonder what type of books and drawings? Does she publish or "art journal"?

I'm thrilled that you have started and have a plan. At least YOU can draw. Very impressive. I know you think it's simple, but I see lots in this postcard. Really great job.

I love the clean and simple style to your watercolour, and how ingenious....making your own stamp! Very cool :DXXX
Love your card and the homemade stamp... So effective! Great start
love the simplicity and beauty of the watercolor. reminds me a little of Chinese landscapes with little buildings and huge mountains. Wonder what kind of book she's writing
And the story unfolds, I love this idea and last years calendar looked interesting too!
