I joined a Swap-Bot exchange coordinated by FarStarr where we send piece of mailart on folded cardstock, and the recipient flips opens the cardstock and sends back his/her own mailart on the other side. These are sent as postcards, no envelopes, so on the other side of the fold is the message and address.
My partner did a lovely Christmas collage using lots of Santa images. I don't celebrate Christmas, but I do like Santa images, and wanted to stay with the same cute, winter theme.
I do have lots of snowmen and snowflake inspiration, though. Winter is the only time of year you will ever see country cute in our house. I had a fun time creating this Snowman Tea Party. However, these snowmen won't meet the same end as Frosty because this is iced tea.
I added a scan of the postcard below but it doesn't really scan well ... too fat. I really need to get a better scanner. I've been reading up and think I know what I'll buy when I have a job again.
This postcard is 5x7 (13cm x1 8cm) and very dimensional. I'm a wee bit afraid to take it to the post office for mailing. They are not going to like the sticking up bits, or the fiberfill "snow." I used the handy Shaped Based Pricing Template a kind postal worker gave me and the card has to go package rate.

This looks like a lot of fun. I wouldn't mind joining in with that swap. Maybe next time it runs. You have reminded me though, I do quite fancy running another swap-bot swap. Forgot how much fun that site is...
