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)

What a lovely surpise. Thank you so much for printed the finished Dreams deco and mailing me a copy. I love you carved work. The "turning soil" stamp is perfect for this time of year and looks great on the envelope. I bet the letter carrier loved it too. I love the Seeds of Auburn envelope too. So generous of you to share your work.
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.
🎄❄️Merry Christmas!❄️🎄
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
