Mail Art Exchange

As I mentioned yesterday, I picked up a package from our local  Post Office (in the allotted hour for doing so!) and was delighted to see it was this fabby piece of Happy Mail - organised by the lovely GINGER as part of her MAIL ART EXCHANGE.




Wasn't it VERY clever of WENDY to have two 'googlemaps' on the envelope...on the front is the area where I  lived in the UK, before moving to Spain, and on the back is the area where I live now!........How could I NOT be desperate to get home to open it?

When I DID  get it opened...with great care.....I was delighted to find this little not so little assortment of goodies inside!

I felt as though it was my Birthday!...thank you again Wendy...I just keep looking through it and stroking it!...I promise I shall actually USE it very soon!

I managed another LO too......


...using Shimelle's 'Starting Point'.....I don't know if I've said, but I'm really enjoying these!


Thanks for dropping by!
Take care of you
Alison xx
