I have a particularly favorite pen pal named Jenny, 88, in who lives in Wales in a stone cottage overlooking the sea and rescues all sorts of animals. What a delight. Another sends me collage mail art. I’m glad you’ve found the joy of the mailbox.

Is Snailie still happening?

Yes! 😃 The current window is closed, but when another Mail Call opens, I'll post it on my website and send an email out, too.

Love! Love! Love!

I send snail mail all the time. My mother and I have a practice of resending cards to each other. One favourite is a Mother’s Day card that my grandmother gave to Mom in the 60s:)

Sign me up!

What a wonderful idea, and what a gorgeous piece of art from Maija! I just participated in a black out poetry exchange and had so much fun with it, so I'm excited to have another opportunity to send mail art !

Art and anything else. That’s part of the fun. Let it be anything! Simple is sometimes the best to just DO THE THING, right? :) The only rule is just one stamp. Everything else is up for grabs.

I was just thinking today how I haven’t sent snailmail your way yet!! Glad you ARE getting good use of the PO box!

Mailbox joy at its very best! :)

Getting this post in my email was as uplifting as getting a lovingly sent note in a P.O. Box.

I can say the exact same thing about seeing this note from you! :)
