     This tiny tiny mail art card arrived from Greece undamaged with the plastic heart still attached.  Luckily it didn't fall into the hands of Alan Brignull.  http://iuoma-network.ning.com/profiles/blogs/alan-brignull-a-book-with-no-name

He'll break my heart someday that guy. …

Is this controversial or offensive?

I don't think so. More of a reminder of the past.

OK so we blew it this year.  But everyone take note for next…

These kitties look very nervous -- too much maté? She also sent some photographs, perhaps of herself? Very lovely and oh so young!…

Angie's envelope is worth a blog post all it's own! Love the little donkey--and I'm crazy about maps! And her artistamp is gorgeous!
