The envelop is an intriguing map with lot of places that I would like to visit. And then inside a little booklet with nice words. The sewing makes it so special. It already stands on a place where I can enjoy it often. Thank you so much for this wonderful piece of mail art.…

End of December a other special mail art piece from Cascadia fell in my Mail box. Always a pleasure. This time he looked back to all the mail art contacts in 2014. I am glad that I was a part of it.

On the 26th of November I received the triangle envelop of Phillip Lerche. And....... forgot to blog about it. Today I have seen the blog from Katherina (Momcat) and found out that I didn't notice the Upside Down Jenny. I had been reading about it and so I am very honored that it is now in my collection. No Photo this time, because the blog of Katherina shows it all. Thank you Phillip! 

Love and Peace for the whole year. And lots of things to look forward to.…

Hey there kids. I thought I'd update all of you guys about the ongoing Tucker project that many of you have participated in. I'm just starting to roll out a bunch of the images I've collected of my friend and "art muse," Tucker. He's a good sport about this by the way, somehow finds it funny or entertaining. If you want to see everything, I'm going to post it all through a…

      Oh oh oh! I am behind in getting all of my lovely incoming mail-art posted for others to see.  I feel pretty bugged about that until I can take care of it.  One of my kids gets corralled into doing the scanning ("Didn't I already scan this one?! Twice?!") and it all goes through in one fell swoop.

     On one of the YouTube videos about mail-art, someone said something about mail-art requiring an element of faith; just making something I love and tossing it out into the unknown.…

Here is a sneak preview of Nancy's response to my Spirit of the Forest mail art call!  She tells me she was inspired by the theme… these peices are a balancing act of light, line and colour that doesn't put a foot wrong!
