November is almost here. It is nostalgic because we are entering the holiday season where we remember family celebrations and traditions. We carry on with some of those and we have created new ones for our family . . in hopes they will carry "nostalgia" into future generations.
NOVEMBER MAIL ART postings and pics go right here on this thread!
Have fun creating your mail art pieces for November.
REMEMBER the mail out deadline: NOVEMBER 15th.
I suggest you get 'em done and out before getting into the really busy part of Thanksgiving.
No matter what we may think about how much time we have, the holidays are BUSY, BUSY . . and we all need to plan ahead.
Thanks girls!

OMG, the holidays have already arrived here! I work in a fabric store and Halloween is sort of our Christmas. I can barely see straight I am so tired!! AND this week was our final Christmas set in the seasonal dept, so trying to get that l done with such business was chaos defined. Good news is that I have inhaled enough glitter to be in the true holiday spirit!!

Took my package to the post office to mail (usually do Stamps.com) from my house. But had several pkgs. including one big box so just went to the post office. I had decorated the outside of the big box and my mail art package.
The postal worker guy said it was beautiful and that he really enjoyed my decorated packages!!! (I think he has seen some of my other ones come through the post as well)
That was fun!

CurlyQuilts!
First off, I love yur MJF User Name. So Cute!
I received my November mail art. I love it!
If you have a pic, could you please post it?
I will be shopping for a clear frame to put it in,
as I want people to be able to read the backside.
You put so much time and thought in it, and it shows.
I love all the information regarding what my name means.
I never knew that. My sister was here when I opened it and
she also loved it.
Thank you so much. I will be sitting it on a table top easel
for all to see.
Bless you!
Deborah

I received a beautiful fall card from Sandi in ID yesterday. The pumpkins are cut out and arranged on the front of the card giving a 3-3 effect. Very nice and colorful. I have it in my kitchen with some other fall decorations.

Connie, that is really beautiful. Popping things up-like the pumpkins-really adds something to a paper craft! Love it!
