Finally the postman came by with MailArt!

Do you see your creation? envelope? Here are a few postcards:…

 It's to cold 🥶 out side. I am ready to get warmer weather. So here is a snow ball tossing I want to see who throws one back to me.

who says there's nothing new under the sun? these bookcase people are adorable!
