Snowbabies

I've recently taken photos of a small collection of these little figurines (called Snowbabies) that I acquired as gifts over a decade ago. They decorated my office (when I had an office.) They've been gathering dust on a dusty shelf, in an out of the way place, so I've decided they need to move on to a home where they'd be appreciated. That said, I've been enjoying thinking about snow, the three snow storms we had this past winter, and how they effected us, and what people said at the time: It's going to be a very hot summer.

Okay, so they were correct. It's VERY hot here. It's going up to 95 F (35 C) today. It was very hot yesterday and it'll be very hot tomorrow. They were correct, and I'm looking at these little figurines, playing in the snow, with a bit of envy.

I'm off to the gym to work out, in air conditioning!!

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 ...
