Drawing Do-over

Back in mid-September I sent a piece of art to Romania that was purchased. Unfortunately, it never got there.

Wasn't a big deal because it was just a small postcard-sized work, but I was nervous if this second attempt would make it there or not. This time I put it in a card-sized envelope, as if it was a letter. And guess what? It made it there in 11 days. Speedy! Glad the whole thing is over and I learned what I did. I guess some countries have more reliable postal systems that others. Here's the piece:
