I got your card yesterday! Thank you!! I love it. I think about you every day- your pieces with your mother hang in my office- I turn them over every once in a while just to get a good look at the reverse. I am working excitedly on a vintage book cover piece for you- I hope you like it!

Dear Karen, I just came home from a weekend away and found your mail art! Thank you very much! - Did you know that I'm a psychologist? Therefore the topic of the text fits quite well ;-)

I'll send something back! Best Svenja

Thankyou Karen for another GREAT ATC! It says "Control your hair" how did you know my hair needs controlling??? My lecturer at art school used to call me "Khakibos" (which is your equivalent of Tumbleweed) because of my hair....

Thank you! I am now officially an Old Person, but don(t feel it (yet!). to celebrtae becoming an Old person, I'm going to cycle 10 miles to the coast, have a pre-dawn swim, and then cycle home again to have some tea and toast (with peanut buter or marmalade). then we'll see what happens...

Bon weekend, Val
