BANANAS

 AKA Anna Banana Appreciation Band (ABAB)

The theme is Bananas & Anna Banana.  Many of our members are « bananas » themselves, others are »fruity », a few are « nutty », and one is completely « ape ».
If you are none of these, don’t worry we can help you with specially designed projects and exams for your progress to the banana status you deserve.
We will also explore the many works of Anna Banana as we give appreciation for involvement in Mail Art & "Art".
PS I you are « crackers » or « loony », this group may not be for you.
Also: see link and fill in the form and return it to Anna Banana!

    What a banana day - thank you Finnbadger, Katerina, Dean, Tonipoet and Carina (TicTic I am watching the letterbox...). The banana pop-up gallery looks like this:

    ..and bird has got in on the act too:

     

  • Linda French

    I am completely disgusted by my inability to estimate delivery time for my banana mail. Well, it's coming everybody.

  • stripygoose

    Linda - relax. There's not a banana on this planet that would want you to be vexed about the post and all its delightful vagaries!

  • Ptrzia (TICTAC)

    oh, Stripygoose i hope you receive it soon, i mailed them all on the same day.

  • Dean aka Artist in Seine

    A few of mine seems to be late as well.  You win some and you lose some.  It's all part of the fun game.

  • Katerina Nikoltsou (MomKat)

    Every day is banana day...

    not a problem, when they arrive, they arrive :-)

  • FinnBadger

    Thanks to Kat (twice! Her February banana arrived the day after her April one), Dean, stripygoose, toni, linda and tic-tac-toe (ptrzia,your banana mail arrived today! ). I think just carina's is still to arrive.
  • FinnBadger

    Sorry about the auto correct, tic tac.
  • Katerina Nikoltsou (MomKat)

    Thank goodness they are arriving, Finnbadger,

    ...even after many months! Wow!

    'Gotta get those Minions working at the Ohio post office!

  • Ptrzia (TICTAC)

    it's an autocorrect with a sense of humour... :-) no problems FinnBadger..glad my banana arrived on time.

  • Katerina Nikoltsou (MomKat)

    Thank you, Carina! There was Greek mail delivery today, yay!

    see:

  • Intransferível

    Happy Banana Day for everyone!! (late, sorry!) 

    As I knew that my sendind do not arrive to anyone in the Banana Day I decided to wait and celebrate it going to the post office yesterday... so everyone will receive my banana-sending late, but at least it will have been sent on the correct day. Makes sense? Doesn't matter! Every day is banana day!

  • stripygoose

    Makes sense to me - as much as anything else does
    on this planet.
  • Intransferível

    ...and my banana day was even happier because I got these pretty things:

    thank you Stripygoose, Katerina Nikoltsou and Finnbadger! :)

  • Katerina Nikoltsou (MomKat)

    Very interesting banana mail art coming from Intransfervial,

    and me thinks they will be special...with a postmark:

  • Carina

    A very nice Banana arrived yesterday, from Linda French. Thank you Linda!

  • stripygoose

    I like this a lot - thank you Ti Ar Raden!

  • Katerina Nikoltsou (MomKat)

    'Just realized this morning that

    the banana stickers I sent were mostly from "Ecuador" :-(

    With the horrid earthquake there,

    the bananas at  today's farmers' Greek market are from Colombia.

    So sad.

  • Ptrzia (TICTAC)

    thank you Linda...extending the celebrations with another great banana.

  • Katerina Nikoltsou (MomKat)

    it has arrived inside a plastic bag from the German post. I hope nothing inside got lost.
    Thank you very much!

  • Katerina Nikoltsou (MomKat)

    TicTac...that must be a banana case from Heleen in the Netherlands

    (I see Dutch postage). It keeps bananas from being smashed

    in the lunch box :-)

  • FinnBadger

    Nice, Kat, that made me smile, too.

  • Ptrzia (TICTAC)

    maybe it's the shape..but banana boomerangs do exist,  and Stripygoose just got one...sorry it happened to you, but the post did not cooperate this time, the address is correct but the claim it's that it was not sufficient.. i received the envelope open cut on the back the whole content put together with the envelope inside a german post one. i will send it back to you...the address i wrote it's the same you have...
