#5.Valerie Tups - little book swap!

Oh my! All the way from Germany, I received a beautiful mail art box filled with 4 little books for our swap. It came from Valerie Tups ; 0 )

I love getting mail art and so appreciate it when you have the time! 
Inside were Val's wonderful little books, each wrapped up individually in a cool fabric. Here they are below, unwrapped! 


I took a few photos . . . click for details.

Here is a spiral bound one that Val made . .  . 
the cool fabric that it was wrapped in is behind it.

Val wrote two posts about her books on her blog!
You can see more details on three of the books here -Val has some slide shows and more details on how she made them. The fourth book for our swap can be found here and Val graciously shares all of the pages.

Awesome! Thanks ever so much Val. 
It is lovely to have you in this swap. From visiting your blog, it looks like making little books is a great passion of yours ; 0 ) so wonderful for us!

  3. Thanks for the nice write up, Lenna, and glad you liked your envelope. As you noticed, I love making mini books, but almost everything else, too, which is why my home looks like one crazy museum running riot! Valerie
