my mail carrier told me recently that he always looks forward to seeing my mail because no one else in the neighborhood receives such great things!! and when this little gem arrived the other day from my sweet bloggy friend pat over at lost and found, i know it must have really made his day......because it sure made mine!! pat has the most wonderfully fabulous doodle style, and she skillfully created this mail-art postcard using some of her favorite papers, and then added some of her doodle magic, along with her spectacular letterforms (and i must apologize.....pat did a fantastic job of lettering my address, but for privacy reasons, i've taken parts of it out and left a bit of a tease so you could see how fun and colorful it is!)
thank you, pat, my little doodle-partner-in-crime......i'm absolutely thrilled to receive this, and i SO appreciate your generosity in sending it to me!!! xo
you can follow pat's doodle adventures here!!!
oh, oh, oh!! this is wonderful! I must do some mail art!!!
ReplyDeleteAwesome postcard!!! I just LOVE mail art - it always makes my day so much happier!!! Hugs, Terri
ReplyDeletei want to receive mail like that!!! how sweet to take the time to make the outside of an envelop so fancy-
ReplyDeleteYour mail art is certainly inspiring me. I think my mailman needs something this special to put in my mailbox and for me to give him to mail to somebody else. What a great way to make the mailman happy too! he he
ReplyDeleteReally Lori, I love seeing these photos. so beautiful.

So bright and cheerful; it probably cheered every postal worker along its route! cute, cute, cute!
ReplyDeleteOh how fun! I bought graph paper (to practice my letters :grin:) when buying school supplies. I would love to send things like this. Talk about making somebody's day!
ReplyDeleteIsnt that amazing! Its fabulous that the posty gets a bit of joy from your mail too. :)
ReplyDeleteI can never decide which is more fun--sending mail art or receiving it. But when the receiver is as enthusiastic as Lori then I definitely have to say sending it! Thank you Lori and all your sweet bloggy friends for your kind words. YOU just made my day!!!
ReplyDeleteI love art of any kind but mail art is so very special.
ReplyDeleteYour post card is awesome. I love the one that you received. I enjoy looking at what you create with your doodles. Everybody is guilty of dooding. I know I do when I am on the phone. Have a great day. Your Missouri Friend
