    Hi Mim - wanted to say thank you for the envelope you sent my friend, Trish - A-I-R Mail Project - it was great to see it on Tuesday night!

  • giuli.fiori

    Hi Mim! Love the card! Love the Tiny Town! Many many thanks!

  • Christine Jones

    Good Morning Mim (well, it's morning here!)  Trish is having an exhibition of her year's work in November - the A-I-R Mail envelopes are going to be put into a book somehow & each envelope will be a seperate page.  Trish does some lovely books - calligraphy is her speciality.

    Question for you............do you have a cutter that makes your circles?  Have looked at scrap-booking cutters but they are so expensive here.

  • Christine Jones

    Thanks Mim - will keep a look out for one on sale - I do like your circles & the effects you get with them.

  • Jayanna Killingsworth

    Why Yes Mim, you are one of the 2 targets I have already received- Thanks for posting a pic- as you can read in my comment on the event- I am currently having some internet issues- :( Thanks so much for participating in my project!

  • stripygoose

    Hello Mim - thank you for the bird/dot/peanut postcard - love that damson-y colour. Those dots are really satisfying - love your style on 365 :>)

    Glad to see the mail art arrived from Greece, Mim, as you returned from NYC!

    Now my turn to travel, so hold any thing for Greece until Nov. 1, ok? xxx

  • stripygoose

    Glad the bat made it over to your neck of the woods safely, Mim. I met that little bat when I was on holdiay in Galway, Ireland, and stayed in a cottage that had a loft full of bats... :>)

  • vizma bruns

    2 bats!? Ah, yes, Stripygoose sent one too, how bizarre!  I seem to be getting lots of skulls lately..but I guess I send lots out too! ;-)

  • Birute Nomeda Stankuniene

    bye

    irene

  • Van Jazmin

    Thank you for the message, I'm very excited to see what you've sent me.

    If it's not too much bother, for standard documentation purposes of the exhibition could you give me a title of the work as well as the country/city it's from or been in?

  • Uncustomary

    You're very welcome, I'm glad you liked everything!

  • Birute Nomeda Stankuniene

    Hello Mim, today I have got your letter. I'm happy. The water color  picture is very sweet. It seems landscape from Lithuania, our native colors, green and soft ochra-yellow. I'm enjoying different stamps on letter. They looks great. Thank you very much. Now I write letter for you. But do not have such interesting stamps, sorry. Birute

  • Vicki Fraser

    Hi Mim! I'm very pleased to be a friend of yours, though I'm a bit slow myself at the moment! I'm very glad you liked the mail and hope you went ahead and opened it.

  • Willemien Visser

    Bonsoir Mim! I'm happy to know you were happy with my card! The emplacement of stars was no coincidence...! A bientôt, Willemien

  • Katerina Nikoltsou (MomKat)

    Thank you , Mim!

    I had seen this gal on your blog and was wishin' 'n hopin'!

    Ok, so the image here is backwards...how's that? Don't ask :-)

  • Mail Art Martha

    Hi Mim, your super art arrived two days ago but I could not put it in my blog because only the code appeared in the edit window and my geekiness does not extend to codes. Today all was normal so it is gracing  Mail Art in the Clouds and my living room, where the original is displayed. Thank you so much, I agree with Dr Seuss and wallow in (non)sense.

    I had to write a manifesto for a project recently. In it I tell of my involment with the (non)sense(tionalist) movement. Glad the good doctor agrees.

  • Mail Art Martha

    Forgot to say something will be going your way soon

  • ANA MARTA AUSTIN

    Obrigada...Esto feliz em participar desse projeto; aguardo as orientações...Abraço!!!

  • Nancy Bell Scott

    Your great card arrived, Mim--you're one of my minimalist hero/ines. Thank you! + never a dull moment with Picasso. Current state of affairs here means I'll be fully launched into minimalist mind+art soon, and for some time, and am looking forward to it.

  • Katerina Nikoltsou (MomKat)

    Thank you, Mim, "pondering a butterfly/moth" arrived in Greece!

    I love the quote of Buddha, too:

    "Do not dwell in the past...."

  • Eraser Heed

    Absolutely wonderful. Thank You Mim! I love watching old movies and Ingrid Bergman of course. My mother was kind of a look alike when she was young (I am very proud ;)). Robert Bresson, Truffaut and Cocteau are my favorite directors. Everything was better in older days. :)
