About Me
I enjoy connecting to people around the globe through the postal system and mail art. I collect postage stamps, bus and train tickets, and other ephemeral bits of everyday life.
I should spend more time outside, so I'm off to swim, or just float and watch the clouds. (gif by L. Boglio)

Your full Traveling book card is on its way back home to you 😊 I was unsure if I should send it home because there's a bit space on the bottom, but here the mail requires this space to print a destination barcode with fluorescent ink so machines can sort the mail automatically. So I decided to send it back to you.
OMGosh I love your Pomegranate Post zine with the mix of handcarved stamps and postage stamps. Impressive work and such a lovely thank you gift. The envelope is well done too.
I quite enjoyed hosting the HCSI MAJ swaps.
I will continue to host the Stamp & Pass swaps to continue the collective fun, but in a smaller format.
Thank you for finishing my HCSI MAJ deco and mailing it back to me. You were so generous to to send a print (on handmade paper) of the whole stamp you used for your page and the postage stamps that inspired it. Beautiful work! P.S. I also really like the envelope.
🎄❄️Merry Christmas!❄️🎄
Got my postcard back today from you for the Send my postcard back week 1. Wishing you better luck to strike it rich with gold. Thanks and have a great weekend.
Thanks for the glittery Emma Peel ATC for the MMH tag! It is the second bit of glittery mail I received today and I am most pleased. ^_^
THANK YOU for the amazing presidential portrait -- the stamp is amazing, and I really enjoyed how you used it as well. Peace :)
Happy National Chocolate Cupcake Day!
Just noticed you listed the Baguette Quartet as a musical fave! Me too! Thanks for the heart on the postcard swap for Mail Culture. - Rhonda
