Good (Mail) Day

I've recently been getting more into making mail art. I've been a member of a few online mail communities for several years now including the now defunct postcardx, sendsomething, and swap-bot. I'm considering becoming a full fledged member of the Letter Writers Alliance but I kind of like having the freedom to send anything randomly like on s squared including postcards or even naked mail. Below is a Japanese themed envelope I made and sent out today. Along with an envelope I received a couple weeks ago from Jackie. If anyone who reads this wants to exchange mail, feel free to comment and we'll get in contact.

Introduction

Welcome to my brand new blog.

I'm Carolyn and I'm another 24 year old who just wants to travel the world taking in all the experiences life has to offer.  

This space won't be limited to only one subject discussed as I'm interested in too many things to list them all, but some of them include indie bands, photography, shows, zines, cooking, craft beer, mail, art, traveling, and other various topics.

Once I have readership established I will be hosting contests and giveaways every so often which will most likely be art or craft supplies, something handmade by me, a mix cd of my favorite songs at the time, stationery, or anything else I may come across.

I'd just like to Pay It Forward somewhat since I've been lucky lately.
