if you are not familiar with artist trading cards, 

or ATCs, they are 2.5 x 3.5 inch little pieces of art.

the artist is free to create using any medium.  

i belong to an international atc group.  

we have a different themes which we use as a guideline 

and mail our art to the other members six times a year.  

my friend john and i are the only members from the us.  

others hail from england, sweden, germany, new zealand,

 and isreal.  it is such a pleasure to go to my 

mail box and find and envelope, often decorated

with a surprise tiny piece of art.  some days, to extend 

the intrigue,  i just let the envelope sit on my desk unopened 

and imagine what delight is inside waiting for me.

recently, i participated in another trade with a group of 

ten from an online workshop.

  4. I could never ever EVER postpone the pleasure of opening an envelope. Your willpower must be made of kryptonite. The only person I know that can wait to open an envelope is my husband, who always expects bad news, but even that wouldn't be enough to hold me back. But now I'm thinking I should try it some time...
