An empty house (boo hoo) with so much stuff to move to make the jigsaw fit again. At dusk finally time for mailart but all was in the stuff in the studio and the wood burner not lit, stuff tidied away for the previous day's birthday party, my mum in the kitchen so I decided to carry a bit of mailart stuff back to the house. Wouldn't you know it... hail, slick surfaces and the next thing I knew I was flat on my back, wet and freezing.

I turned 51 on the 28th. It was a memorable birthday because so many people were with me and there was so much good cheer.  Usually the timing isn't quite so good! Sent to Nancy.

Created for a swapbot swap of RED mailart.

I started with an old book cover and added an EKG tracing, vintage labels, a bit from an old math book, and fish from a discarded tropical fish guide.

This only took 24 hours to go from coast to coast!

I covered a regular old vanilla (yes, I know it's manilla) envelope with old book pages and I handpainted the fish!!
I am so impressed with myself! :)

Created for my layers of flavor swap in the handmade postcard club on swapbot.

The idea was to start with a piece of cardboard, cover it papers, then do at least 3 more layers of stamping, painting, etc. This one ended up with 8 layers.

Created for the Cut and Paste group on Swapbot. The theme was numbers.

I had this card all finished and sitting on the stairs to take upstairs to scan when my daughter said "Mom, are you done with this one?" "Why", I said. "Because 36 divided by 4 is not 8!". Blonde moment...I added a crow. That's why she's in AP Calculus....

Old math book page of logarithms, flashcard, very secure crows..

More trash mailart this time for Lisa Iversen. Included is an ornament made from trash. Love the sparkles on the Snookster's butt.

Diane Keys is inspiring a whole movement of trash artists - trashpo - making visual poetry with trash. At the trashpo group on IUOMA Lisa Iversen sent Diane a garland made from crunched up trash and that inspired a whole "line" of ornaments. The corgi fee Snooky is printed on trash. I was going to trash this card kit I had because I didn't know what to do with it. Seeing if from a new perspective (trash vs. a new kit) gave me inspiration to ... make cards. I made about 30 of these so ... that's my theme for a few weeks here now.

This is an add and pass from my Neuron Project[CLICK HERE]. Sent to Dewi.

Another from my winter themed series. This one to Diane Keys.

Lots of people; lots of cooking, many hands - light work. The pear and almond tart and pecan pie are cooking.  Potatoes, veg mash, beef, brussel sprouts in oven or on deck.  Merry Christmas all!
