This tiny but FAT parcel is from Judy Staroscik. The AP sticker…

Pretty as a pink perfect picture! Thankyou girls!!

Got a few fat mails lately, this one from Thom Courcelle (aka Liam Tra)! Amazing envo: Experience the Trance and give yourself over to IUOMA!!…

May your Xmases be Fuxus and Trashpo and Drunkpo and any other po that takes your fancy!! Thanks to everyone who mailed me this year, and to those who didn't, there's always next year!

My first EVER tape transfer from Jon! Now I can study it closely and see why/where/how I go wrong!

Works from Ana and Arac! These gals know their stuff. Lovely handmade envo and art package from Ana and super silly boekie from Arac. More…

I thought I was a lucky duck last week when I received Guido's collage book! Wow! And this week a fabulous full COLOUR calendar arrived!! "The Nesting Panic" Great name!! AND a huge painting inside in gorgeous greens!

Thank you so much Guido! I don't know what to send in return!! My first born?? No, I don't have nesting panic...that'll never happen. More mail art…

FINALLY! The mail I've been waiting for since Dean made this on the 6th of August! He sent it to Riga and I had just left, and my brother emailed to say he picked up some MA from the post office from a laughing post lady! Anyway, he said I had to come back if I wanted it, and a long argument ensued over several weeks until I convinced him to send! (I just had to say I'd…

Carina sent me this pack in response to my anti-Xmas comment at Arty slides group! I just said I wasn't going to participate in the Xmas slide swap, and now I've become the Grinch of the group!!! Ha ha!

This card had me in stitches!…

Border security must have thought this jolly looking package from Amsterdam contained some grass.

But it contained a cute little bilingual boekie from Suus in Mokum!!…

The Latvian Postal Service and Latvia's most famous chocolate company, Laima have joined forces and designed a range of chocolate blocks to be sent anywhere in the world. It's double wrapped and this one made it to Australia in perfect condition. The Post even subsidises the cost of sending, how…

A very chumpy envo from DK! It was open down the side, hope nothing was nicked from it along the way? Is it all there Diane? I love the big VIS even if it's the wrong spelling! And the nauseous envelope improved with stinkin' trash. And the DKULT cross is genius on the Welcome envo, but my allowance must have fallen out...…

This came in the post today from Kat! Yes, those black bits are mould.

It was 30 degrees HOT yesterday, don't know HM in US language...?? But this cheesy mail was all stuck and melted and oozing!!

There are choco cheese fan club stamps…

New friend Ria Cabral sent me this gorgeous piece. It was returned to her with an apologetic note from Dave the postie to add more postage and a customs declaration.

I appreciate the effort Ria,…

Beautiful watercolours and photographs from new friend An U of Latvia. These are photos she took on the beach and feature pieces of washed up amber. Wow, I hope she collected them!…
