<p>Actually, it might be "co - respond" in mail art.</p>
<p>Many mail artists like the "exchange":</p>
<p>"I send one to receive one. "</p>
<p>Others have an "in" box and as the mail art received stacks up,</p>
<p>that's who will get mail art made and sent from the "out" box.</p>

<p>I hope you enjoyed your trip! Wow - then again, I know nothing about the weather there/if you ever have big snows falls...? We had our first snows this week - a big one last night! ^_^ It's especially wonderful because, oddly, we had none at all last year...</p>

<p>Yes, I indeed like the 'Just makes the "respond" in co-respond- dance!!!' - lol, beautifully put Katerina! I think I may notice it more because I'm not very prolific, so sending is an occasion/special to me, as it were.... (I'm more of a "quality than quantity" type for the most part...%_^) I haven't participated in any projects in 15 years or so...but I do plan to, so that's good to know...</p>

<p>The "autumn leaves" card was sent out on Sept.24, 2012</p>
<p>before leaving on my trip to France. Not all that "belated" :-)</p>
<p>And we haven't had a "freeze" here yet, so leaves are still</p>
<p>on the trees and some still falling...no winter snows...yet.</p>

<p>Not rude at all, Claire...and it is always a happy surprise knowing mail art is safely received.</p>
<p>Sometimes for mail art projects there will NOT be a message or blog or documentation</p>
<p>for a year or more later...just a happy surprise when it happens!</p>
<p>I say that I make mail art to make art and mail it: no aim at getting replies...</p>
<p>Some mail artists send out art to random addresses...just to send!</p>
<p>BUT it sure is nice when someone replies, yes? :-)</p>

<p>Hi Katerina, I could swear I wrote you on your page to say "Thank You" at the time...? Maybe I intended to but forgot? Aaaanyway, I'm sorry if I made a mistake and neglected it! I always like to send a note of receipt as soon as I get a piece. I know I like to be informed (don't like wondering..)! It also just seems like a good thing to do... Well, thanks again! And sorry if it seems I was rude or you thought it got lost...</p>

<p>Always wonder if the mail art ever arrives? Oh, so many times there is never a reply....</p>
<p>and we just hope that it was received and enjoyed. And then months later...even years later,</p>
<p>this happens...aha! "Trashme" did make it to someone :-)</p>
<p>Thanks for the blog, Claire! xxx</p>
