Received this amazing hand painted/drawn envelope from Niklas-love it!

Janine "dreams"! With beautiful blues and birds and then all the colors of the rainbow!

'Thank you, dear Janine, I was very careful and did not break anything, I hope!

The large A4 envelope was such fun to see...all those smiling…

Ok this was the pieces that confirmed what I had been wondering for a long time now.  Cheryl is not a "Sunday painter".  Not that I have anything against Sunday painters.  All art is good.  What I mean is Cheryl can see these images in her head and paint them.

   Well Cheryl didn't really have this image in her head.  It came as a A3 size painting, and when I scanned it twice on my A4 scanner, something went wrong.

Svenja thinks of everything, Flying a mile with a banana attached?  Thank you for the idea & for the card a laugh.

A real gem is one of these bookie things that a few of the Mail Artist make.  This one is speical as it has many hidden messages about French life in general, but the main story is that there is a tale in France that one can find a French passport as a free gift in a OMO soap box.  (OMO is the name of the soap, and has nothing to do with two men washing clothes together.)

It is a real delight, at least for me, and makes me laugh every time I pick it up, or use it on flights.  Thank…

Carina Granlund's "No title" makes a tidal wave, and the locals go bananas.  thank you Carina
