It is also a nice way to support my local postal office of which I will have to go purchase postage from next Monday to send out some mail art! I am so happy I found this community.

Love your website! I think I took some photos of that same spider (or perhaps its sister) last summer in South Carolina.

I'm the Mentor of the Month, so if you have any questions or concerns, let me know. So happy that you've found mail art. I felt the way you did when I began, that I was inventing something all my own. Great delight when I found a world full of people to whom I could mail those somethings.

xxoo Boo

To read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mail_art. made the the difference. I started last year from there. I feel today that I have been in mail artis for the last 45 incarnations.
