To be clear: you create one page of anything starting with your letter. The size of your page doesn't matter. Then you send me your page and I add it to my ABC book.Then I photograph/scan the…See More

So a few on their way to you, perhaps they were the earliest form of my "mail art", as there were no greeting cards to be bought back then, so I had to decorate aerogrammes!:

Thanks for the memories :-)
