Trips to the post office are not normally this thrilling... The response to the Paper Chase has been huge - 19 parcels of paper so far, & more to come. Hooray! Here's what I picked up this morning...it was like Christmas day opening them all!
I'm obviously going to be very busy making collages for all the participants, so I'd like to ask people to be a little patient, I have a particularly heavy workload at the moment, but I'm devoting my evenings & some of my weekends to the Paper Chase so I can post back everyone's collages as soon as possible!
I'll take photos of all the lovely goodies I've received on the weekend & add them to the gallery, & as soon as I can get a moment, I'll email everybody to let them know their packages arrived safely.
I'm just amazed & really really moved by how great you all are! I hope I can do this project justice by making collages everyone's happy with! Thank you!
It is exciting to participate in your project! Don't sweat finishing the collages, that's not why I signed up. I love sharing bits of ephemera from my part of the world with you.

What a FUN idea!!! I love it! I wonder what I could do like that with fabric and the things I like to make........ I hope you get just the right amount of packages sent.. if you got 100 responses, you'd be pretty busy making custom art works! :-) Sweet.

Ms Jelly, I would really love to send you some screenprinted bits and pieces I have..... but they're not old and beautiful, they're a bit bold and brassy. Would you be ineterested? Kate
