Hi Mim, Theresa, stripygoose, should we have sort of slogan, like Viva USPS, or Long Live USPS!! ???? I lie the idea of giving a mail art card to your postal carrier.

Yes, 1 August, stoppage of Saturday delivery, which only means that Clyde, my mail carrier, has more to deliver on Monday - so he'll be working very hard to catch up. He has a very large route to cover ON FOOT! Poor guy.

Hi Cheryl and Mim - I also make mail art every day on mailart 365 but am a bit behind with posting it. Sometime this year I will be addressing a lot of postcards and getting them sent so this group within a group is great! :>)

Cheryl, I make and send Mail Art daily - one side image, one side message. I even sent one to my mail carrier via my postal address. it came to my house, so I put it in an envelope and taped it to my door with the carrier's name on it. He got it. ha ha ha What fun. I send to IUOMA members and to my friends and family. I'm doing my best to save the USPS.
