It's never too late for confetti and stars - from Katerina Nikoltsou

[Marie Wintzer]

Two envelopes from Katerina were patiently waiting for me to come back, both of them holiday wishes. I think I'll have to start painting envelopes, it always gives them a very special touch. I love the colors and style of Katerina's asemic Christmas envelope. And with matching stamps for the finishing touch, perfect.
SantaFlux and his little trolls brought me a bag of confetti, which I couldn't throw on the IUOMA website as planned, but I am saving them for next year. 

With the second envelope, my sleepy jet lagged eyes had me reading "lard inside - do not bend". I thought oh wow, Katerina is being quite adventurous these days! :-)) Fortunately, no sign of lard, only cosy fluffy Greek islands and stars that glow in the night. How sweet! I love the handmade paper, Katerina, it's such a great texture. As for the stars, I'm waiting for the next power cut and I will tell you :-))
Thank you for this very special paired mail and heartful wishes, Kat!
