NOW Who wants me to announce the winners of the mail Art Give-Away selected using Random.org ??? 

VicR said...

I LOVE all Mail Art! Hard to pick a FAV, but what a hoot that last one is, with the 'big girl panties' - LOL

Thanks for a chance to win :)

Annie said...

Tera, your mail art is SO awesome! You know I love it and I love it even more when it shows up in my mail. I carry no shame jumping in here trying to get more. I love most the Usual Suspects, Beware of the Pink Flamingo, and the first three. Your envelope designs are not only fun to look at, but inspirational too. Thank you for your generosity in sharing your art!

Donna Nuce said...

Love them all (except the first one, bugs are NOT my thing). But as a retired military member I laughed my a** off at the big girl panties one!

Have a great day!

Tristan Robin Blakeman said...

My fave is the "Discover, feed your soul, destination unknown" with the craft background. The colors and images take me to a place where I feel like I could go exploring to find new land. Wouldn't that be fun!!!

Cannot help myself, but I have something with water the last two weeks, so the sailor and the diver mail Art are the ones I like best at the moment... Inky greetings, Gerrina

Totally cool mail art! I love them all, but I think my favorite is the Grandville bug and Grandville hawk. followed by the Grandville chicken!! but the one under the sea with the window fish is pretty awesome too!

More Great News!

Hello! I hope you are staying warm wherever you are, It's -8*F here with a -22*F windchill factor. Although I haven't had a chance to do any creating today, I still had a productive day. 

I have been hibernating... 

(Basically I've spent all day doing laundry, getting things done around the house, and just trying to stay warm)

OK, getting to the GREAT news...

I just received an E-Mail from Rubber Stamp Madness Magazine saying that they will be publishing the piece of hand stamped jewelry I submitted! Now the hard part will be to wait until the summer issue is released so that I can share a picture with you, and actually see my 1st published piece!!

Here's a sneak peak to hold you all over until you can get your summer issue of Rubber Stamp Madness!!

Thanks Friends!

Stay warm, and Stay Crafty!!
