Dear Cheryl, thank you so much for this beautiful project, I really had so much fun and pleasure being part of it. Many thanks to you, de Villo (received today A & K , the missing letters I will copy), many thanks to all contributors.

I wish you a lovely day and success for the binding-party!

I received in the last week Laurence´s lost pages and today arrived Lauriana´s amazing cover. Girls, Boys, my collection is complete too! Thank you all!

Helen - I use a thick waxed string to bind - thicker than most book binders use - just because I like its chunkiness - the problem with it of course is that the holes in the spine are larger than when using cotton threads - choice is yours - a linen thread, any strong thread - eg sewing machine thread is too thin and breaks. As to binding them individually - usually a 3-hole pamphlet stitch for such small pieces, but I am doing 4 -hole - so dont know if single binding will work?? Use an elastic band at the spine of each just to keep them together before binding.  Yip Momkat - the sun will come out tomorrow :-) Making covers at some stage today - MISSION!!!! To decide WHAT to put on the front :-( so many wonderful choices...

Thank you Helen - I'm not sure what went on at all? But for sure, I have had other work from Ejva, so she IS a mail artist :-) - I think its a difficult place to be a regular mail artist - thanks for that. Cleveland Wall - thank you for sending two more copies - much appreciated. Heather - of course!!! See you when we see you.

Samuel - I'm going to translate!!!

Two more sleeps until P26 is DONE!!!
