Yesterday I recieved some belated xmas/yule artist trading cards and an art tag from Olena Spicer. It must have got caught in the UK mail sorting delays over the holiday season. But it arrived yesterday and I did have a chuckle over the ATC that Olena  created for me after we had one of our online chats. In case you are wondering, its the Bah! Humbug! atc. lol. I thank you Olena for some very lovely witchy art on the atcs also.…

During December I remained inactive with creating and mailing out mail art to enjoy the seasonal festivities with my family.

During my down-time I have recieved many atc jams from lots of people that i have already acknowleged elsewhere :-)

But I have recieved some other lovely art mail also. so heres what ive recieved

from BonnieDiva, I recieved some of my postcards back that i sent her to alter them, as well as a new atc jam and some more postcards from…

I have been somewhat sidetracked due to various offline things such as suddenly spotting a good preloved bookcase for sale locally and doing the dealings to snag it before anyone else does, then having to do a very intensive craft corner sort out to pull all my supplies out from where ive stashed them (very much tetris style) and moving furniture around to make room for my new bookcase and then organnising my craft mess onto the shelves. Im still not totally finished but things are fairly…

and a fun ATC from Carien.thank you :-)

Lovely sugar skull art on a postcard from Amy Candiotti.

A postcard from Jenn :-)

Another fabulous art mail from MotherBrando

Inside the justice art envelope i recieved another atc jam, that has been added to by myself, Fleur H, and MotherBrando. again a wonderful atc i get to keep.

I like the tissue paper envelope. Im surprised it did survive the mailing system as it does have a delicate fragile feel to it, but it must be stronger than it feels. nice colours too.

inside, I recieved my card return from a duo I sent out to her, I like how it turned out once she completed my art on it.

Also included was a trio jam started by…

a mosaic made from all the shreddings of old add n passes. lovely and colourful

its been a while since I have had some mail art arrive to me. Today I got a wonderful artistamp package.

Ann Golden sent me a mini zine about cats :-) and a tag and atc for me as well as a duo jam for me to take part in with her and my share from a trio jam I took part in a short time ago.…

Three or four months ago I sent out 6 mini board books out to various addresses, to add art and pass onto others to add stuff. I did have one returned to me, but as it still had a couple of blank pages that got skipped, I sent it out again recently.

I have had one of the other books from the set come back to me all filled up with art.

lets hope…

For a long time I have had rubber stamps that were preloved but badly mounted. So today, I have spent a few hours carefully removing the old foam and glue from the stamps. After doing all this, Im now organising my stamps into catagories so I can find things better. This is gonna take a day or so longer than I intended. I have lots to sort through.

Mail incoming from Jenn. Several add n passes, which I'll have fun adding to and a cool ATC. I love the quirky atc its fun, thanks. keep a watch out for some mail. I dont know when it will be, as im not very organised and I'm overseas from you. lol.…

Another lovely mail art envie came today, this time from MotherBrando

An add n pass sheet to do my thing on and forward it on its way. And a cute handmade postcard for me with a couple of US quarters to help fill some gaps in my collections.…

A short while ago I sent out 6 mini add n pass books out to 6 different places and sat back and waited :-)
