About Me
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)

OMGosh I love your Pomegranate Post zine with the mix of handcarved stamps and postage stamps. Impressive work and such a lovely thank you gift. The envelope is well done too.
I quite enjoyed hosting the HCSI MAJ swaps.
I will continue to host the Stamp & Pass swaps to continue the collective fun, but in a smaller format.
Thank you for finishing my HCSI MAJ deco and mailing it back to me. You were so generous to to send a print (on handmade paper) of the whole stamp you used for your page and the postage stamps that inspired it. Beautiful work! P.S. I also really like the envelope.
Thank you for the private Instax swap!! The polaroids and stickers are lovely~
What a lovely surprise! Thank you so much for those super cute stickies! So cute! I'm hoping my photo of saguaro blossoms image hoping it will show up this time. I seldom have any luck with this. Well, it doesn't show up, but you can see it if you click the link! They are blooming right now. A little later than usual. Again, thank you SO MUCH for the sweet RAK!

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!
