Do you miss Decos? What’s a DECO? It’s a sort of mail art friendship book, but with a theme. Each book has around 6 to 10 pages inside and a THEME. You do a page according to your art style and following the theme, and you mail it to another DECO person. It’s like an ADD/PASS, in a way. When it’s full, it goes back to the person who started it.
I started doing DECOs back in 2004, but then people started making them too heavy, gluing all sorts of heavy embellishments, etc., and I couldn’t afford the postage. Then, the DECO world sort of died out. I’d like to see if any of you are interested.
Let me know if you have questions! Hugs, Bonniediva

The mailman just reminded me that decos and Add&Pass books might be less costly to mail if they are sent as media mail. It’s just a few days slower than first class. Be sure to ask which is less expensive for the book you are sending; sometimes…Continue

I had a deco come back to me "insufficient postage" which was annoying as the post office had affixed the postage. They looked at it shook their heads and said, "that postage is correct but the validating stamp covered the first digit so someone thought it was $.80 not $1.80. They cleaned the stamp off, stuck it back in the post. Hope for better luck this time.
Hi Carolyn,
You can send the two decos my way. Just make sure, I haven't worked on them.
Thanks!
Norma, I can send you two. Just let me know if you want them.
I don’t want to be a pain, but I also don’t want to waste anybody’s postage so I need to make something perfectly clear. On my profile, I originally said,”I don’t do holidays,” but I’m starting to get Halloween and Christmas things.
I am a Jehovah’s Witness and we do not celebrate most of the holidays because they are against what we believe. No Halloween, Christmas, Easter, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, St. Patrick’s Day, Thanksgiving, Valentine’s Day, birthdays, Fourth of July or just about anything that Hallmark makes a card for. I also won’t take part in anything that features nudity or obscenity or patriotism. I respect your right to make any kind of art your little old heart desires but please don’t waste your postage mailing these subjects to me.I will not pass them along after November 11, 2018. Peace!
Does anyone have any Decos to pass along? I can take two if I haven't worked in them. :)
Norma, received Boozy Barb’s deco along with add n pass from Ed.Thanks
