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)

Happy Monday from NYUP group!
๐โ๏ธMerry Christmas!โ๏ธ๐

Hi Eclectonote. I got your HMPC tag of the pink raccoon block print. So well done. Growing up in Toronto we often saw raccoons. As a child, we even had one as a pet for a few weeks. Their paws are so soft and gentle (their teeth, not so gentle). P.S. Really pretty postage stamps too.
I wanted to let you know that I love the B&W polaroids that you sent...3 instead of just 2!! I didn't know B&W film was available; I think I like it better than color. Thanks again!! -- PenPaperPostage
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
