Bonus mail and artistamps

On Halloween I mentioned there was a part of Carroll D's 'ghost' card that would feature in a future blogpost.

She makes amazing faux postage, and included one of her stamps on the card.

I was very lucky to receive an amazing envelope from Carroll as part of the MMSA envelope exchange. Normally the participants send the postcard mail art to Karen, who mails them all out. Many of the people involved decorate the envelopes they send their inbound art in.

For the envelope challenge, Karen sent the envelopes back in someone else's inbound envelope.

I love this rabbit, and the artistamps. Definitely lucky to receive my envelopes in this beauty.

On the subject of stamps, this graphic card came the same day as Carroll's card from Eva , who is one of 2 (official) followers of this blog.

And on the back was a great cat stamp, as well as this very attractive Spanish stamp.

Another bonus card showed up with Eva's, this one from Terrie thanking me for the found poetry card I sent her.

I've been receiving some amazing mail lately - thanks to everyone who takes the time to send me something.

USPS has released some of next year's stamps.

Check them out at virtualstampclub's website. 

I like the Year of the Ram stamp, the new $1 and $2 designs, the waterlilies, and my favorite is the Summer Harvest set. 

Which ones are you looking forward to?

And bonus stamps received. I don't think they are truly vintage, but they have that look to them.
