Some swappers are having difficulty sending mail art. If there is a problem in your area, you may put this decorated envelope in another recycled envelop to send. The second envelop does not have to be decorated, but I'll miss seeing the fun art in my mailbox :(

Joan, I peel the stickers off the envelopes that come, lol. Usually I can get them off okay. That's recycling isn't it?

For ones who don't actually send in mail art envie and send in another-just don't decor the sending envie overly decorated. One your mail art envie-you could leave a blank space for an address and a blank space for return address and the receiver might actually want to send your mail art envie on to someone else....Just make note someplace that the mail art envie who was the original makers...Of course that can be made into another swap-make a couple mail art envies for your partner to use or keep for herself ?

I still like mail art and was thinking beings this is a group swap, we can always work things out if something happens. But, it is sender's choice to send decorated through the mail or put decorated into another envelope. I recycle envelopes, stickers and make punchies from envelopes a lot, too.
