Mail art moments

But first, my latest Christmas card

 Christmas mail art

I coloured the envelopes with coffee,

cut up an old card

and used some paper stars from last year.

Mail art for a swap on swap-bot

"favourite animal swap"

I'm love how the back of the envelope 

turned out. 

I used a page from an old dictionary with words 

that start with "kat", not that they all

have something to do with cats, but 

it's the idea that counts. 

Postcard and new stamps

This card is sent from Lithuania, but is a view from Tibet. 

Jokhang Temple roof top and in the background  Potala Palace

This is the Postcrossing stamp 

Lithuania Post released in October! 

And the Belgian Christmas stamps are 

available for 2013

Lovely incoming

I received a nice letter from Tessa today!

I'm ready for Christmas

Well, I should be anyway,

but to be sure I'll continue making cards.

Sorry for the weird angle, but it was the only way to get a pic without white spots from the flash

 A wonderful letter from Kathinka

She also gave me the pretty bookmark. 

I love the stickers she used! 

And this huge card / letter is from Suzanne

Making cards, cards, cards!

Made this card for my best friend's birthday, 

since he received it, I can put it here now too. 

And of course, more Christmas cards!
