Hallmark Snail Mail Art from Brooke Cooks

[Katerina Nikoltsou (MomKat)]

Brooke is a new IUOMA member and is very generous with "mail art omens"

Her envelope was just full of fun treasures, like this card:

Who remembers Eddie and Liz, eh?

Look at all these great details...touches of BLUE:

map fragments, too:

and more...lots and lots and lots of TIME:

Thank you so much for all these goodies, Brooke,

Welcome to IUOMA and there will be many sending to you as you send to them!

Soon something in the mail to you from Greece!

I suppose I was just excited for it to get to you. I will TRY and be more patient. ;)

Snail mail takes TIME...from Seattle by air mail, possibly to New York, then across the Big Pond maybe directly to Athens, then up to the northern city of Thess...rain? storms? flight delays? postal workers' strikes? holidays? (Your Labor Day)...then summer days (still in Greece), me not in the city to pick up mail...when it was picked up, it may have arrived days, weeks earlier. Now with a big stack of mail art...time to begin blogging :-)

It takes TIME...never rush a good thing like mail art :-)

Yeah!  I am so glad you finally recieved this.  I thought for certian that it was lost.  I mailed it on August 13th.  I even posted that it was lost on the Lost Mail art group.  Guess I'll have to go back and tell them all it wasn't lost after all.  There is a replacement card in the mail to you already.  I wonder how long that will take.  We will see.  I blogged about the MA I got in the mail from you today so look for it.  More mail soon.
