First this romantic man, looks adorable and feels great too!!!

Then these wonderful paperdolls.  They are hard to appreciate from this scan but they are wonderfully creative.  Not only do they stand on their own but each has an outfit sewn on them and if you look from the other side these little cuties look as if they are peeping over a white fence.  Thank-you very much Janine. What a treat, these little guys greeted me after being out of town :))))))…

In this little matchbox, resting on a bed of wool from her sheep I got this little snowman from Vizma

As I dug deeper I got the story of How the Snowman became an Arac....WOOHOOOOO!!!!!!!!

She says it reminded her of The Monkees guitar and I totally agree.  Thank-you, thank-you, thank-you!!!! I've been stamping it on everything around and…

I had a very long, very crappy day of training yesterday.  By the time I got home I was simply "over it" but when I checked my mail my whole day changed. Nothing makes you feel more special than homemade birthday mail from friends around the world! My birthday is not until tuesday but I can already tell it will be a good one :)  Thank-you both so much, you two made my day!!! xoxo

To start here is the back of Vizma's envelope declaring it a two-for-one with a warning.  She warns me not to fall for the really bad pick-up line inside,

The Pick-Up Line  Silly Vizma...I would never fall for this line again, It doesn't take me 3 times to learn my lesson but it sure is nice to know you care ;)…

Looks like it was meant to be returned to sender but I ended up finally getting it...lucky me!  What a wonderful mail day to see all that was inside.  A photographic tour so you can enjoy too!  I love that I got a piece of the whole, makes me feel so connected...thanks Cheryl  ;)…

Got an unexpected mail surprise from New York this weekend...somehow I was lucky enough to have been chosen and entrusted with a shred of the Elgin Shroud (maybe with miraculous powers),  a Barbie valentines and a bit titled "cerealism"  that made me laugh.Thanks DeVillo, got some Lucky mail going out to you tomorrow with a promise not to carve RK, DK, OK or…

Quite a while ago I sent RCBz a card thinking it would get there in plenty of time for the intended occasion.  Weeks later we had both concluded that it was simply lost, surprisingly it finally arrived.  Looks like RCBz's most recent postcard to me is announcing it's arrival.  The actual card I sent is set atop the turtle on the B side…

Today I recieved a delightful envelope filled with colorful puzzle pieces from Bear.  Upon completion I got an awesome painting of a Minor Threat album cover...very cool delivery Bear! Thanks so much...I;m thinking I'll need to spray mount it on a board so I don't lose any of the pieces. :)…
