I'm posting this envelope designed by wreckthisgirl because you snail-mail folks out there might want to know that she has a lot of free—you download 'em and print 'em— letter sets with coordinating envelopes —at least three different letter page designs for every envelope, plus some address labels, etc. The typewriter set I used doesn't seem to be on that page, though: it's here .

Not too elaborate--this is my first letter to Justin, who's new to mail art, so I didn't want to scare him. =laugh= He collects & repairs old typewriters, so I had fun typing the letter on a 1942-model Remington Rand "Deluxe Noiseless" portable I inherited from my father-in-law. Don't you love frogs this time of year? I heard spring peepers the other night. =happy sigh=

Again, inspired by the file-folder mail art of Robes-Pierre .

I was so inspired by the file-folder mail art of Robes-Pierre , I couldn't resist trying my hand at it.
