extra mail art from France! (check comments: the mail art is coming in!!)

I received Nadia Breton Sergal's extra piece of mail art today and boy, did her mail have me smiling!!!! Look at what was in my mailbox:

This is a very large postcard, about 7" x 9". The snowman is so happy looking, I just could not help but grin. And I love the "mail art" stickers Nadia has placed on top of the red ornaments!

You really made my day, Nadia. I am so glad this extra piece for me came all by itself!! Cheers, Lenna

Nadia Breton-Sergal: mail ART swap!

I have 3 pieces out of 4 that Nadia has sent to us from France, so I am going to share them here on the blog and then go ahead and swap out what I have on hand. When the last piece of her mail art comes in, I will keep that one for myself -thank you so much, Nadia! Many more people made extra mail art for me than I expected. It was not a requirement and I know it took extra time to do, so I really appreciate it. I am going to do something with all the extra mail art, something creative, and I will share it with you later. : ^ ) But now we will feast on Nadia's mail art from France.

This envelope is small, about 5-1/2" x 3-1/2"

The postage stamp is 2" x 1-1/2"!!

There is a plastic pouch where Nadia inserted
a tag with her return address!

love the bright colors and the birds-this one is actually a piece of foam!
Nadia enclosed it inside a plastic sleeve.

look at all the postage!!

Very cool. Thanks, Nadia!

Nadia Breton-Sergal: Technique tag swap!

All the way from France, Nadia Breton Sergal's tags and envelopes have made it to Florida! I am so happy to have Nadia join us, her tags & techniques are beautiful and unusual.

I love this card Nadia enclosed with a note on the back, below.

I did not know Nadia was a painter and a sculptor when she signed up, as this is her first creative swap with me. I look forward to having you participate in more swaps with us Nadia! : )

I am up-to-date with all that has come in for this swap and I am wishin and a hopin to receive 5 more packages by Saturday. If you can't make the deadline, please let me know. Thanks!
