Received Gems
I have finally remembered to show you guys some of the awesome PostalArt pieces I've been receiving recently. Here's one that my good friend Laura sent me from Chicken, Alaska while I was at Camp this summer.
On the otherside of this home made postcard, she took paint samples from hardware stores and cut them into a scale patter and painted a thick coat of gel medium over it. Quite creative!!! Matches all the colors she dies her hair on occasion too.
This next one is from my good friend Kayla sent me from Lacrosse, Wisconsin. Just goes to show that you CAN send odd shaped things through the mail. I'm still miffed that they wouldn't sent my circular letter out from Washington, but WHATEVER...over it!
And finally, this gem is from my friend Bethyn. She folded the envelope out of a page from an antique coloring book, and inside I found bright red fall leaves from North Carolina. Gotta love her! The leaves are so brittle now that they're almost a month old now...I would hate to lose them.
With love to all, happy mail day! Hope you find joy in these #PostalArt Gems. ~Cheers!

Humor
For goodness sake...let's not forget why we do the things we love: TO BRING SMILES TO YOUR EFFIN' FACE!
Hey, Arizona. Hope you enjoy this postcard made from an antique bingo card. The bingo-ness is on the other side...obviously. Halloween is quickly approaching. Holla!

Long Time No See
Hello all.
Sorry that I haven't updated the PostalArt blog in a while. I was in Wisconsin all summer working at Camp Timberlane for Boys, and since I've been home I've been busy with work and camera-less since it broke at camp. Not having a camera has made it rather difficult to take pictures of the fancy letters I've been making and receiving recently. I'll do my best to take some webcam documentation of everything. Laura Hahn sent me an awesome homemade postcard from Chicken, Alaska over the summer while I was at camp. My good friends Bethyn, Jane and Kayla have sent me some pretty awesome things as well since I've been home. In no time at all, I'll be back in full PostalArt swing.
Hang in there.
