Mail In/Mail Out and Pass the Book Recipient

I'm afraid I've been quite derelict in acknowledging some wonderful goodies I've received in the mail.  Ginger of Ginger's Life of Spice runs a wonderful mail art exchange, and, through that, I received a gorgeous package from Ruth with all kinds of goodies! Thank you Ruth!  I've also recently (or not so recently!) received lovely pick-me-ups from Ginger and Amy.  I love getting "good mail" and so will be reciprocating by sending out a few things in the near future. Here's what the outgoing looks like:

It's also time for me to "Pass the Book."  The next recipient of Raw Art Journaling is Amy!

I will be sending it along shortly.

Today I am grateful for: the moments of calm between the storms (quietly doing homework together or snuggled on the couch watching Hawaii 5-o).

Mail Art: Liberate Your Art Postcard Swap

I'm participating in the "Liberate Your Art" postcard swap sponsored by Kat Sloma. We sent here five postcards featuring our original art, and we receive five back from artists all over the world! It's very cool. These are the first two postcards I received. The one of the left is from Petra Kern.  She lives on the other side of the world (Ljubjlena, Slovenia) and makes beautiful art in a style totally different from my own. The excellent zentangle on the right is from Karen in Idaho. She quilts, zentangles and art journals. So much fun to discover new artists and bloggers. Have you received anything fun in the mail lately?

Good Mail Day!

I had so much fun yesterday taping and gluing bits of paper together to make some mail art.  And then, today, when I went to the post office, I found the fantastic envelope above filled with this beautiful card:

They came from Denise of Chocolate Mousie as part of the mail art exchange organized by Ginger at Ginger's Life of Spice.  Aren't they fabulous!!!
So, what am I sending out?  I taped two of my post cards from ATC's together and then filled the interior with paper and embellies from my stash.  Here's a sample (outside on the top and inside on the bottom):

And here's what my envelopes look like:

They were so much to make! Have you received any "good mail" lately?
