I have a few late august bookings - these hosts are busy ladies and hard to get on the phone -- so I came up with postcards (I revamped some holiday ones I hd from years ago) to use to keep in contact with them over the busy summer and keep their PC show on their minds.

Enjoy!

and PS...if anyone is able to properly format some summery recipes (these are more fall-winter recipes) to fit the layout - that'd be great!!

Hey there! That's a great idea to use postcards to stay in touch with your busy hosts. It's always important to keep your PC show on their minds, especially during the busy summer months. As for the recipes, I'm not the best with formatting, but I'm sure there are some great resources online that can help you out. Maybe try searching for some summery recipes on Pinterest or food blogs? Good luck!
