Recently I was invited to participate in an ATC swap via Artful Mail Groupies on Facebook. It's a warm, chatty group of women who love making and receiving mail art in many forms, and the occasional box or envelope of "Happy Mail" (goodies from the sender's stash of crafty stuff). I broke out the colored pencils and some Easter stickers I had on hand and added a quote on each one. (Names and addresses of recipients covered with some of my colorful stamps for privacy)
The quotes transcribed, from left to right:
Spring is God's way of saying, 'one more time!' ~ Robert Orben
Spring is Nature's way of saying, 'Let's Party!' ~ Robin Williams
Spring has returned. The Earth is like a child that knows Poems. ~ Rainier Maria Rilke
Happiness? The color of it must be spring green... ~ Frances Mayes
Blessings,

Spring is here! Yay! Things are buzzing in the studio, and I've been busy working on some new projects and doing some spring cleaning. Here's a little impromptu vignette I made after finishing a project this morning.
For those of you who may not know, Frances Mayes is the author of Under the Tuscan Sun. I found this quote in a Better Homes and Garden magazine, I believe. The stamp is from New Zealand, part of a lot I picked up on Etsy. I'm using them for collages and mail swaps. I added pink and green tints to the stamp using highlighters. I'll be sharing more about mail swaps next time.
Have a Happy Weekend!
