If you're looking
for a unique way to share a recipe with a friend or family member, I thought
this seasonal postcard might prove to be inspiring. I made it years ago to send
to a number of people who'd requested the same recipe. We were traveling at the
time, so I made up about a dozen of these cards and hand-colored them as we
made our way to New Haven, Connecticut where we would be living for a month
while working on a research grant at Yale. I'd mail each one as it was
completed, so sent greetings all along our way.
All I did was to buy six sheets of oatmeal-colored card stock, and then,
using Microsoft Word, made two 4” x 6”"boxes on the
document, filling the left portion of each box with my recipe, and the word “POSTCARD” across the top. After printing the
document and cutting out the postcards along the lines, I rubber-stamped the bat
and “ghost post” (when I mailed them I placed the postcard stamp to the left of this),
and witch. I hand-colored the witch using colored pencils and markers, making
each different and therefore unique. Then I addressed them and popped them
into the mail. It was a fun way to share a recipe and served the dual purpose
of also being a seasonal card.
