I hope Nancy's Disorder is contagious because that piece is incredible. It feels like Nancy really hit her stride with the torn paper/string/and ink. I love it. Nancy is this the direction you are going with your vispo pieces? Amazing.

Lisa, can't wait to receive the three kings they are wonderful and will be the perfect compliment to our little tree with the amazing trashpo garland. My kids were amazed when they saw that and I routinely have to keep the cats from chewing on it.  

What to get the person who has everything?

Roberto's stunning holiday card arrived today and it is impossible to not be happy while looking at it. So festive and every single detail is xmas related. Thank you so much Roberto- I love it!

That's what i call a trash-ter-piece! Amy, it is fantastic and fantastic goodies from Neil. A real co-op boekie!

Got the most perfect mail art for Dario the postman today. Ironically, his sub delivered it. KDJ was kind enough to leave it unsealed so I could take a peek and it is fabulous-couldn't have expressed the sentiment any better. I'm also glad she gave me a heads up because my stomach dropped a little when I saw "Final Notice" and I was close to throwing that hot potato in the trash. The odd thing is that the envelope was open at the bottom end but it doesn't look like anything fell out. Inside was this great card and some RK stamps for me. She was also kind enough to include a xmas letter complete with a list of things she'd like people to buy her. This will make it so much easier when I am doing my xmas shopping. Sorry KDJ--no sea monkey for you this year. As you said, I think DVS has bought the world reserve of them already!
