Friday after work I turned a 2012 desk top calendar into greeting cards with the use of my sister's quirky handpainted labels, some clear envelopes that were in my art room closet, and a whole bunch of tape.
Darn it was fun! I sometimes forget about the pure enjoyment of cutting and pasting and making little bits to put in the mail. Sending the joy of the creative process along with the words is ever so satisfying.
Oh, yes. I love Mail Art. Have you looked into becoming a member of Letter Writers Alliance? Check them out, very cool mail things in their store and stuff available to members.
I love those clear envelopes...do you have a source? I have the opaque glassine ones, but really like these.

I have just recently started taking some time for mail art, and I love making it surprisingly even more than receiving which I love big time! I'd love to send you one if you are willing?

The Gift of a Letter! Reminds me, I must read that one again.

I love these! Incredibly fun and funky - you will make the recipient and the mail man smile! Great way to recycle the old calender, too.

Mail Art is one of my very favourite things in life!! I miss real snailmail, it was one of the highlights of my childhood and still is! That calendar looks fab!!

Think it was fun from YOUR end.... you should have gotten one in the mail. Now THAT was fun.
