Envelope exchange 2014: from Marti S

Fun envelope from Marti in the exchange. I like the way she wrote the letter s in South and Street. Great stamp, too.

Envelope 462 - Happy Mail. And bonus stats.

Over at MMSA, Beth A asked for contributions for a mail art/happy mail workshop she had planned for mid-October.

Here's another envelope from an old calendar. The original caption read, "I'm doing my part to go green. I've had three apple martinis today."

Stamped.

And addressed.

October became the most visited month to date - by just 40 views. Cathy's envelope continues as the number one post. This is the first top 5 to not feature a post from 2013.

MMSA Asemic Writing part 2

A couple more postcards I sent in.

One from Judith.

And one from Sherry H.

Envelope 411 - food chain

Sent to the generous Pamela G.

I sent her a few extra goodies, hence the butterfly stamp (plus it is a nice color match).

And the back.

Envelope 320

I sent Laurie M (who created the pretty MMSA envelope I sent to Smash) a calendar envelope.

Bonsai-ed and addressed.

MMSA envelopes received part 3 - blue, green and white swirls & wrought iron to Smash

This is an envelope I received from Laurie M in the MMSA envelope swap.

This is the only stamp that worked well.

And I had another go with the wrought iron alphabet in white to go with the stamp. This envelope is painted, and quite uneven as a result so writing was a challenge. I had a hard time with the 9 - I should have turned it upside down and written a 6, which I didn't have any bother with. I liked the overall effect.

The back is also very attractive.
