"If trashpo has taught me anything its that every windblown street corner and cyclone fence is a veritable Dick Blick of free art materials."

Ha, Ha, Nancy!  Maybe he isn't allowed to open stuff.  If that;s the case you can always open it up and take out the little bundle (it's tied with a ribbon) and give it to him with your most engaging smile. I know you can do it.  Although it clearly states NOT FOR NANCY on the top on the can.  Or you open it and hang the strips from your mailbox - that should set a festive mood.

Report: P.lily, it came to-DAY, and he put it in the mailbox! Tomorrow I circle the part that says it's for him with Big Red Marker and put it back in the mailbox for him to pick up. Will give report #2 tomorrow.

Diane, I sent MA for Dario to you today. It's no big kick, just an appreciative hand-done MA card with note to him (and Christmas stamps from 1944 with mailman delivering mail on them!). It's in a (transparent) envelope inside the envelope to you, so if you want to see the whole thing I can email you the scans.

Comment by prettylily on December 8, 2011 at 10:21pm

Yes, I did a photo of both Nancy & DK's mailmen's mail.  So if they don't show you let me know.  Diane's MM's card is addressed to her since it's in an envelope.  Feel free to open it and give it to him naked, if you wish.  Today was a busy day, so left it on the porch for my mailman (along) with a ton on other mail.  He left me my mail & a piece addressed to my neighbor!!.  Think he is sending ME a message???  He doesn't have to deliver my mailart; it goes to a PO box.  Maybe he was a little distracted with the extra mail load.

I'm sure P. Lilly's trashpo art will be just the attitude adjustment your mailman needs. I know it's a very hard job, but they make like $20 an hour. I'm still trying to brainstorm what to send yurz guyzez mailpeople. Can't wait Sue!

Comment by Nancy Bell Scott on December 7, 2011 at 10:55pm

It's good to have that P.O. estimate, Sue, I am On Lookout Duty. You know you must show in a blog or somewhere what you have sent my grumpy mailman, don't you? She did a beautiful thing, trashpo people! This mailman will have to smile, and feel good about his work. He's never been seen smiling, but i think it's gonna happen.

Oh you guys are having such fun!  Love the Trashpo garland that Lisa sent you, DK.  Lisa is always full of GREAT ideas.

 

NBS, you mailman's little surprise was mailed yesterday and PO said it should arrive Friday.  DK, I'm sending your mailman's card in an envelope to you to package with the others, as requested.  Will get it off tomorrow.  I've been making mailart and now need to mail it & then get in the Christmas Spirit.

 

I received Trashpo books from Barnart & Alicia this week and have started to blog again, after a long  hiatus.  These are the first Trashpo books I have received.  Love them and will have blogs up with pictures, as I get the time.  The mail I receive is too good not to share with you all.

Can't wait Roberto! I am making some christmas trashbooks at the moment following Amy Irwen's lead. Lisa, can't wait to see your ornaments I think I would be terrible at making trashpo ornaments-i'm good at making tacky ones though.

Neil, you're right you must find a way to trash up Jewish holy days!

Comment by Nancy Bell Scott on December 7, 2011 at 8:27pm

That's the spirit, Neil.

Comment by Neil Gordon on December 7, 2011 at 8:10pm
