Back with more great mail!

This post is the second part to my mailbox goodies!

 

I was delighted to have the chance to swap with JennieBellie:)

Her "The Cheats" zine is genius and full of useful drawing

instructions. Jennie had even tucked papers into the zine to draw

 on as well!Then she also sent along some fun cutouts for me

to use too:) I loved her 'Just Magic Door' as well. Its

at the top left of the photo and I plan to use it for journalling.

Oh yeah! Jennie has a fantastic YouTube channel , if you didn't

know already. It full of great tutorials!

This next Zine is a such a fun one as well. Elizabeth

[ Sketchbook Buttons ] was so kind to trade thoughts

with me about zines and swap hers with me too.

Look at these pages, aren't they wonderful? I also love the postcard

she wrote to me on. Its this great drawing of Thanksgiving dinner!

About a week later I received a big envelope from Laura,
her blog is one of my favorites.  I had sent her my zine and
small piece of art. Then I saw her flickr stream andI fell in love
with these paintings of hers and she was so kind to
have sent one that was almost the same!

I have this displayed on the shelf in my office. Love it!

Last but not least, here is a three-ring binder that I have with some

 amazing ATCs I have been lucky enough to swap. I may have posted

a few of them before. I know one of these days I'll have them out of the

sleeves and framed. There is not enough hours in the day! LOL!!

Thanks for letting me show off what I have received.

All this work is fantastic and I am just so delighted to meet

such generous artists through my blog and flickr stream.

It's really amazing!

Have a great day:)) XO

Do-Over! and LOTS of mail:))

oh boy... I did something today that I was thinking of doing
for the past few days...which was re-make new Daffodil
ATCs for the swap I was sending out this week!

off to Florida

off to Texas

I really fell hard for the two daffs that I painted so much so that

I couldn't bear to give them up!

I just couldn't get myself to put them in the envelope.

I like the new ones I created but it was easier to pack them up with

a card and send them off! LOL! I do get attached to my art.

And I 'm sure I'm not the first person this has happened to (?).

Now for zines from the ZINE SWAP -

I am so delighted. I have been getting so much mail these days

and wanted to share some images of things I have received!

how great are these stamps?

I make 5 and sent to five people. Five people

mailed me their zines.

 Here are first four of the five zines I received and everyone was so nice

and sent some little notes and goodies along with their zine. 

 Miss Lemon who created the one on the lower right corner

sells her zines on Etsy

The last zine came a few days later and I love how she decorated

the envelope with all the bar codes and "MAIL"s. She also send through

a little pouch of stamps, which I really enjoy!

THEN

...more mail came!

I'll write about it in my next blog entry.

I've got more photos to take:)

I'm so grateful for all the wonderful people who have

written and mailed to me.

My heart and my mailbox are happy!

Good night xo TGIF
