Final instalment. Thanks to everyone; I have my work cut out for me over the next month.
First up, Guido, who sent me these two cards for his
mail art call, 1914 - 2014: Resist 100 Years of War.
Moan Lisa also sent me an envelope full of his wonderful digital collages.
Speaking of mail art calls, I sent a collage in to Lettres & Images, in Gradignan, France, for their mail art call, Labyrinthe. Just before I left on holidays, I received a catalogue with all of the images in it.

And here is the page with my envelope on it. On the reverse I had made a rubber stamp of the labyrinth in the Chartres cathedral. You can see all of the images here.

Phillip, of envelope 100, sent me this envelope he received in a MMSA swap. I had sent him a mushroom-themed envelope so he reciprocated. Thanks, Phillip!

| Penny is a very faithful correspondent and this collaged postcard was waiting for me. Merci. |

| A while back I sent a card to Reg Cote and he responded with this great magazine of mail art (loaded with a lot of Canadian stamps). This is no. 118 of circulaire. (And I apologize for the lack of proper accents, but I can't seem to find them in the blog font I am using.) |

| Here is an interior page. I might just submit something one day... |

Fantastic 3 updates - such amazing mail art - I am not surprised you cuddled up with wine and spent the evening looking through it all.
I love the collage you sent to Cleo, and the artistamp from flypaper & kerosene is a highlight.
Thanks for popping by, Phillip. I received one of your envelopes through MMSA. I had it out the other day, humming and hawing about the right stamp and who to send it to. I'll make sure I blog about it when I do send it out. (And great mushrooms. Did you make the stamp?)
The stamp was made by the creator of the envelope - I really wanted to keep the carrot one!
The mushroom stamps were on the envelope already.
Oh, yes. Of course. Thank you for parting with it! (I know how hard that can be.)
Definitely hard to part with, however I feel like their purpose is to be sent, and I enjoy sending the envelopes to people like you who will appreciate and enjoy them.
And I do appreciate it. I'll reciprocate soon. (And any word on the Friends and Faux card? I have a lot of trouble navigating that website and couldn't seem to find any news of the card.)
I think Karen still has it (if I recall you sent it to her, right?). She has had a very busy summer so I am sure she will get to it at some point.
Yes, it went to Karen, Phillip. And no worries. I don't know how she gets anything else done! That MMSA site must take a huge amount of time, but it is so appreciated.
