Looks like you have a lot of these darling little books. It's fun to see how much you have grown artistically over the years, and how much you still like what you have done in the past.<br /><br />I made three decos in a swap, and NONE returned home to me. They were all kept by people who must have needed the art more than me. Glad you had a better deco experience.Bleubeard and Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10149710375520733752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-548792312971412371.post-26406687290365632632012-03-10T09:10:03.697-06:002012-03-10T09:10:03.697-06:00What a treasure trove of mail goodness!

I've only participated in a couple of postcard swaps but wondered about the best way to keep them available and yet together - the rings are the perfect answer.

I think the instant contact afforded by the internet and the exchange of "real-live" artwork by people from faraway places go hand in hand and complement each other so well.Maggiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04636170871680671006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-548792312971412371.post-68079886077979452102012-03-10T01:37:42.442-06:002012-03-10T01:37:42.442-06:00Amazing, wonderful collection to treasure!

The swaps are gorgeous and I imagine you have many happy hours look at them. I used to collect stamps, too, until the US went to self-adhesive and forever stamps when variety was much harder to find.Craftymoose Craftshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02791008130982382299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-548792312971412371.post-83356099248619707722012-03-08T12:13:33.830-06:002012-03-08T12:13:33.830-06:00Marcia, I am coveting your beautiful collection of...Marcia, I am coveting your beautiful collection of mail art.

I just want to roll in it and pick through the hundreds I see, spending hours just reveling in art!
