Beautiful mailart!
How cool is that!
What a lovely mail art! Receiving (and stitching) mail art is so great, I think it's the best mail imaginable :)
The exchanges you have stitched are wonderful, great work!
What pretty mailart!! I bet you were so excited when you got your mail! My husband is originally from Camden, Maine and I hope to get to visit there someday. We live in Texas now. What part of Main are you in? Would love to try some of the lobster there! :)) Debby
What a special gift. It is a beautiful. Enjoy
