Fairy lights, twinkly yard

I had a kind of rough day emotionally, spending time dealing with a friend's needs. When I got home, I parked the car in the garage and came out the side door into the yard and there was such a nice surprise for me. The neighbors yard all lit up. It made me feel so happy. Like I'd walked into a fairyland. I went inside and started dinner and told hubby that we would be eating dinner outside so bundle up for the chilly night air. He turned on our lights, too. It was sooo pretty.

Ooooo - I love it! I'm trying to redesign my backyard now. I hope you and your neighbor don't mind if I use you for a little inspiration?

How did I get into this?

I was asked when I started doing Mailart. Good question. Like many artists, I was making and mailing art without even knowing it had a name ...
