JoY Meadows: mail ART swap!

wow. May I say that again, Wow! When I got my mail yesterday, my postal carrier Ken handed it to me in person, since I went out to talk to him. I thanked him for his extra work lately and he shrugged it off saying, happy to do it-or something like that ; ) All in a day's work! He asked me if this (all the mail art) was some kind of Club? ; ^ ))) I explained my art exchanges to him. As he was handing me my mail that had Joy's envelopes on top, he said well, it's really very cool! My husband Steven wanted me to tell Joy that these are his favorite envelopes yet. I have to agree, Joy's envelopes are spectacular on so many levels. The colors, the shape (!) the size, the design - right on! Joy is one way cool (and sweet!) grandmother!! I love her envelopes and they were a complete surprise to me. Enjoy her envelope art below -some photos & scans, and see more of Joy's art on her blog, Fifi's daughter.

With those Butterfly stamps and such a cool shape, they just flew here!

These are the most awesome envelopes, Joy. Thank you.

JoY Meadows: Technique Tag swap!

I just love these tags & envelopes that Joy sent in from Ohio, don't you agree?? I have got to try this cool technique!

I think the colors she chose are simply beautiful and free-flowing . . . 

and the technique so interesting!

and Joy enclosed this tag special, for me. 

Totally not neccessary, but oh, so enjoJOYed!

thank you, Joy.

Joy Meadows in Ohio registered for two sets of 4 ATCs, which I received today, yum! Joy also sent me a beautiful postcard, thank you, JOY!!

You can read more about these ATCs and see some of Joy's other fabulous work on her blog, Fifi's Daughter.
