Becky, If I didn't know better I would tell everyone that you have known me for years! The mail art you made blends in so well with my window collections. The house we live in has been in my family for eight generations and is over 175 yrs old. I laughed at you telling me the little green bottle came from a gully. I have lots of bottles and jars that I have salvaged from gully's, so the bottle will feel right at home here. The rooster you painted looks a lot like a young rooster I have decided to keep that hatched last fall. Your painting looks like it could almost crow! Oh, lets not forget the candy!! I can see why it is one of your favorites. I did share a bite with my husband and he agrees that we need to order a box. Thank you so much for my window sill art. I will truly enjoy it.
Beth

That's great Becky. I also love colored bottles, and the best ones are always the "found" ones! And good morning to you too Mr. Rooster!

Beth, hats off to you and all those generations of your family who have loved and taken care of your historic home. I think that is so special, especially in this time we live in, where we bulldoze the old and throw up junk. We lost two historic schools two years ago. It makes me sad that the building where my husband, our son and grandkids spent their elementary years no longer exists.

Hey Mail Art People!
Just poking around in here to see what all the fuss is about. I couldn't find the rules/guidelines for these swaps. Can someone point me in the right direction? Thanks!!!

Wow Marilou!
My package arrived and it is a true work of ART! The three pieces are just lovely. The Spring tableaux of flowers sprouting in a window is very creative and a welcome treat to these gray Maine days. I have never heard of Iris Folding before but I am intrigued with the intricate clover ornament and the faux stained glass work is a m a z i n g -it's in my office window and it looks gorgeous!
Thank-you so much-why, even the envelope is a work of art!
Love, Aimee

Neva, you're welcome. The fabric reminds me of stained glass windows.

Dear Cheryl,
I got your package a few days ago, and finally got to open and take a picture of everything. I love the clovers and will decorate my desk with them. The sea glass is lovely - although I live near the ocean I rarely get to it to look for sea glass.

Thank you Maryland... AGAIN!!! Love it! Going on my desk window shelf tomorrow, and I'm already sipping this delicious tea. Just what nature ordered after a long day of work and class!

Just a reminder that this is the last day of March and your mail art should be on its way to your partners by now. I'll be posting the sign-up for April Mail Art tomorrow. Can you believe March is already over? Sure was a fun theme
