Xmas comes early from Katerina :-)!!!

Sometimes life is just LIFE!!! With too many things to do in too little time - we ALL have days like that I imagine. Yesterday was one of THOSE days...

Werewolf Bonanza this week from Erni Bar!

I have been so lucky over the past week to receive all these haptic pieces from the most enlightened Werewolf I know.  Ernie always uses such intriguing images for his trashpo and I laughed so hard when he sent a piece of the box I sent him back to me, along with a piece of pink duct tape I used on the same box I love the concept of morphing mail art taking on a life of its' own.… Continue

Always a joy to see a "Karen card" in the mailbox! A bit of "artful...artfully" and textured rubbings,

even her finger print, as we dance across the stamped landscape of art Nation.

And in the  corner....Karen knows,

add a fragment of a map…

Another envelope...this from Mim Golub Scalin with "mim'imal" inside!

Mim has done an amazing job of recycling MY envelope to her, so with the postage sticker from the USA, I still get those Greek stamps (which are new issue and which i did not have before) Thanks Mim!

And what about this "taped" card?

Who will find the "meaning" for "Beyond Don't"?

A Japanese papers-n-print-overflowing envelope from Ms,Lovender in Japan!

Ms.Lovender, aka Heavenly angel, sent some beautiful textured Japanese papers, which I am not sure if I will be able to use...'may wish to keep them and not send them out as origami or collage. It will be difficult for me to part with such delicate papers. Also in the envelope were papers with fun images with bunnies and bears. These I have already in mind the creation of "365"…
