NATURE, lovely nature! From France! I'm a sucker for backyard birds and flowers ~ heck, I love all nature. So, of course this beautiful mail art from Elena is a welcomed piece for me. Thank you, friend! 

In Elena's note to me she referred to the mail I sent her. She mentioned that I speak French well. Truth time, Elena ... I cheated by…

April 13 brought this FAB mail art from Jon Foster! Love it, thanks Jon! 

The mail includes a note about Add + Passes ~ how they are fun, but can pile up quickly. He suggests just having fun, and not spending much time making them perfect.

Jon ends with telling me that when I want to work on a collab book, to let him know.…

From: Katerina Nikoltsou (0022-0418)

MomKat's mail to me came a couple of days after I sent one her way. She just informed everyone that she's going on holiday, so she probably won't get my mail until the end of April. Katerina forwarded a few Add & Pass sheets from David Aponte, and included a couple of her pieces of art. Thanks so…

The month of March ended with mail from Mary J. Grellner! Mary shared one of her new collages, which I like very much because of the vintage elements. Lovely piece!

Included in the envelope was a post card of a marble statue of Joan of Arc by Francois Rude, French sculptor (1784-1855).

The pooch pictured here, is Mary's cute dog, Mimi! …
