Finally a happy mailbox!

The pretty origami paper and the used stamps

came with a sweet letter from a Japanese pen-friend.

Chunk O Cardboard swap

I discovered a swap called "Chunk O Cardboard" on Swap-Bot

and decided to give it a try. 

I cut up several food boxes and used a lot of space while doing so

as you can see...

And this is the result, three pieces of mail art (?) for three swap partners.

 Hope they are well received. 

It is a bit out of my comfort zone, to be honest.

Would you participate in a swap like this? 

Mail from Spain and arts & crafts

This letter arrived in my mailbox a while ago,

I love the postcard and the tea is long gone. 

My mailbox has been quiet, but I have been messing around with 

mail art and greeting cards.

What do you think?

A Canadian card from the US

NOT my country postcard swap!

Sent to me from the US

with a pretty view on the Canadian Rockies

Established in 1885,Banff National Park was the first national park

created in Canada. Back then, its main purpose was to help pay for 

the recently- built railway across the country. In 1984, Banff and the 

other mountain parks were declared UNESCO WHS.

Lego on postcards!

You may or may not know that I love Lego
