Wow, I come back from my socially distanced shopping and this is what was in my mail box! I haven’t had so much mail in one day before, apart from maybe on my birthday. Three from IHanna DIY postcard swap 2020, one from a mail art group I belong to and one letter. Thanks everyone for my happy mail day 🙂
Even though I have the annual Christmas cold, I’ve been enjoying sending out my Christmas mail. I’ve had one of my paintings made into our Christmas card this year, sent with my art stamps attached. I’ve included some other bits and pieces to my regular mail pals 🙂
This is such a great thing to be part of.
Hand make 10 postcards and send them out to 10 beautiful people whose addresses you’ve been given.
And then what happens? You get 10 beautiful handmade cards in return. It’s win win. 🙂
Can’t wait till next time!
You may have noticed I am a bit obsessed with making my own art stamps. I have been looking to get some ready perforated paper for a few years and now I’ve found some! So here is my first official sheet of stamps with my new paper 🙂
As it says in my header, February is ‘International Correspondence Letter Writing Month’. To take part in this you commit to sending a letter, card or note to someone every day during the month. It’s not as expensive as it sounds, you can write local and hand deliver if you want. What a lovely challenge. I’m doing good so far!
1st & 2nd Feb.

It’s nice to think of someone who won’t be expecting it! 🙂
These are some textile cards I sent out recently, I made them using stitching and stamping on painted fabric.
I sent out two to Postcrossers, Jamie in USA and Richarda in Germany, both said they enjoyed recieving handmade cards.
I sent another to a penfriend in Netherlands
and included one in an art swap to my friend Nancy in America.
They all seem to have gone down quite well, so I think I’m going to make some more! 🙂
This is some recent beautiful mail that arrived in my mail box.
This beautiful book, handmade by Nancy in USA,
A collaged postcard from Renee also in USA
and a super collection of self-reliant themed goodies (and a book) from lovely Leeanne here in the UK.
Lots of blessing in my mail box, only one of the reasons to send mail! 🙂
I recently received these lovely postcards from Graeme in scotland,
this beautiful piece of mail art from Stripy Goose in England which was part of a large mail out of 365 cards to commemorate bird migration,

My mail makes me very happy and I treasure all my mail contacts! 🙂
I’ve received some beautiful mail recently in my mail box.
