    greetings Charlotte

  • Norma Soulet

    This past week I received 9 or 10 Add N' Passes. 

    PLEASE don't send me anymore until I finish these.

    I will post on here when I am ready for more, ok?

    Thanks!

  • Norma Soulet

    Hi Friends,

    I have 8 Add N' Passes to send out.

    Anyone want some?

    Please let me know.

    Thanks.....

  • Fast Eyes

    I’d take one or all Norma.
  • Norma Soulet

    I have a question regarding one of the Add N' Pass that I recently received from Fast Eyes.... I want to "hank" Fast Eyes for pointing out that the Add N' Pass was started in 2014 (Four Years Ago). The Add N' Pass is NOW complete. I was going to send it to the Initiator" (Gisele Marsaglia)

    But I checked for her name here in  the group 

    and on the main page and couldn't find it. So I guess, she is no longer a member of IUOMA.

    What do I do now?

  • Norma Soulet

    Why do Add N' Passes get held up for so long once they are received?

    They are easy and quick to do...

  • Fast Eyes

    I’m not “sure” it’s the same one, but I just googled her name and it came up on Facebook about some of her “friends” seem to be familiar from mail art. You might send her a message (she’s in France).
  • Fast Eyes

    Probably more reasons that one could count.
  • Norma Soulet

    Hi Fast Eyes,

    I am not friends with her on Facebook but I did send her a message. Let's see if she writes back. Thank you.

    I will send you 4 Add N' Passes.

    Thank you so much!

  • Norma Soulet

    I still have FOUR more Add N' Pass....

    Anyone else would like some?

  • Fast Eyes

    I’m not friends with her either. Just had seen that when I looked after your query came in.

    Ok, great about the A&Ps. Thanks!
  • jimmyconnors

    four years ago? that's wonderful! a mail art time machine. i love to read yesterday's newspaper, too.

  • Norma Soulet

    All my Add N' Passes are now taken. Yay

    Thanks to:

    Fast Eyes getting 4

    Amber Scribble getting 2

    Carolyn Cline getting 1

    Kayenderes getting 1

  • Nancy Bell Scott

    So true, jimmyconnors. What could be the rush? Seems like a new standard in mail art. Really new. It will be an odd rule if it becomes one. Pressure is hardly the point, and never was. 

  • Norma Soulet

    Nancy it is not "rush nor pressure". But something so simple as an Add N Pass shouldn't take so much time to send along. In this case 4 years.

    Everyone has their own opinion, I guess.

  • De Villo Sloan

    We should add a "Banned List" in this group's discussion thread for people who gave been reported for "Offenses Against the Add & Pass" like not conforming to deadlines, using too much or little space (doncha hate people who hog the space) or people you refuse to work with because they annoy you (increasingly my fave).

    If people accrue enough complaints, remove them from IUOMA. Someone wanted a very strict membership policy once (tried to gave me removed in fact!), Maybe it's time to revisit.

  • De Villo Sloan

    Don't know why I'm substituting gave for have.

  • De Villo Sloan

    I would propose if you receive an A&P you must spend a MINIMUM OF FOUR YEARS working on it before you can mail it.

    This will ensure quality and extend the tradition.

  • Amy Irwen

    Haha DVS......I just don't like rules...butt seriously some of those dates 4 years ago are photo copies going around a second time.

  • De Villo Sloan

    Hmmmm, Amy. On the serious side I wonder if someone is copying vintage a & ps. Nothing wrong with that. I'm not going to introduce a Fake A P concept,

    On the not-serious side I demand Amy Irwen be placed on the Banned List for spreading fake a and ps. Bad apple

  • Norma Soulet

    When I posted about the Add N Pass, I didn't mean to "stir the bee hive!"

    I am not a confrontational person...I was just stating something that was brought to my attention by Fast Eyes.

    Please let it end with this post.

    Thanks!

  • De Villo Sloan

    I'm leaving the group.

    I think it's a bad sign when someone can "pull the plug" on a free-flowing conversation that reveals multiple points of view.

    Why is a frank discussion about the add & pass "Stirring the beehive"?

    How has the discussion been "confrontational"?

    I don't see it.

  • Amy Irwen

    I accept my punishment of the banned list. Let my devistation be in DVSssss head!

  • Nancy Bell Scott

    What Amy said.

    If not for personal burnout, I'd start an S+K group (subtract+keep), which goes on in life and mail art too.

    That's the beauty of it all. Anything is possible.

  • Amy Irwen

    Norma.....just ignore us.....you did not stir the bee hive....haha....

    you will find that there are many reasons people cannot get to the APs right away. I myself am still working on ones I have gotten last year....sometimes I am swamped with these....I make the decision to work on my outgoing art projects and leave the APs to a slower time.....I do not feel bad or guilty about this decision....

    happy mail arting.....Amy

  • Manda Ballew

    My current reason for not sending out my APs as promptly as before is mostly due to the fact that my 2 year old grandson has been visiting and sometimes he likes to help "too much". :)

  • Fast Eyes

    Actually, Norma, the note about the 4 year thing was already attached when I got it- I just left it on there.
