Another Great Mail Day!

I had to share some fun mail I received from the Netherlands recently! 

Back on June 10, Caatje of Caatje's Artsy Stuff held a giveaway of one her "Sad Girls" canvases.  Sadly, on June 17, I discovered that I  had not won the random drawing.  However, Caatje offered to do an ATC trade for one of her smiling girls! 

First, I'll show what I sent along to Caatje.  I made her a summer smoothie ATC:
And this card accompanied the ATC:
And just in case she felt a little sick to her stomach from all of this pink, I sent a black-and-white Zentangle ATC (but forgot to take a picture).  Happily, she assured me by email that she does, in fact, like the color pink!

Then yesterday, I received all of this creative goodness in the mail:
Caatje had made an envelope from a calendar page, and included a little notecard.  And here is her smiling girl ATC:
As a bonus, she included these two very fun postcard-size (4x6) prints:
Many thanks to Caatje!  Her blog, Caatje's Artsy Stuff, continues to entertain, inform, and inspire me.

Happy Thursday!
