"Spring, flowers, purple" GAME TIME!!

So I realized after sending out some mail the other day that I've been having some anxiety about the receiving of said mail (like emotional not physical).

Birthe Petersen: Ain't No Mountain High Enough

Ain't No Mountain High Enough from Birthe's Mail Art to arrive.  I think the word here is; "Stunning".

Terrific Leap Day Latin clock from Finnbadger

He must have seen how much I like tissue paper--this clock has a very complex history which he explained to me but my brain is fried right now so I don't remember it all. Something about how the Romans had two 24ths or two 26ths in February? And this wonderful erasure poem inside the fabulous clock envelope.…
