In the past week, I've had 3 of those days.
Firstly, a wonderful personalised calendar from Mey's Mum Mary (try saying that when you've had a Mai-Tai or 3).
On each page are photos representing the special days in our family's lives. Please note that
July 17th is National Cocktail Day.
Here are a couple of examples:
.... Then on Wednesday was a postcard from my dear friend Chris Jones who has been working her way through the 'mail art 365' challenge. The goal is to create and post 365 postcards. Hers have gone all over the world, and been featured in an exhibition in New York.
This is the one I received this week.Apparently she's adapted a card I'd previously sent to her.
Her decision to start this project came after the treacherous floods of 2011. She and hubby were away when their house was inundated.
In the clean up, a friend retrieved their photos and cleaned them, hoping memories would remain. What resulted was a whole new phase in her creativity, as she collaged, stitched printed on these photos.
Here's my first from Chris, soon after she started her project.
Yesterday's visit to the mailbox yielded a postcard from my gorgeous niece Emma who's been travelling around Europe in her Uni break. How lovely that she thought of us when she was in Scotland.
You can bet I'll be checking for the postie today.
